To select the dose of GSK2981710 that achieves the best PK profile, the duration of maximum elevation of beta-hydroxybutrate (BHB) will be measured.
To select the dose of GSK2981710 that achieves the best PK profile the AUC of GSK2981710 will be measured.
To select the dose of GSK2981710 that achieves the best PK profile the Cmax of GSK2981710 will be measured.
To measure acute (after single dose) and chronic (after two weeks daily dosing) effects of GSK2981710 on cognition and neural function Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) will be used. This test assesses visual memory and new learning
To measure acute (after single dose) and chronic (after two weeks daily dosing) effects of GSK2981710 on cognition and neural function CANTAB will be used. This test assesses the participant's ability to recall as many of the words as possible immediately following the presentation of list of words.
To measure acute (after single dose) and chronic (after two weeks daily dosing) effects of GSK2981710 on cognition and neural function CANTAB will be used. This test assesses the participant's ability to retain spatial information and to manipulate remembered items in working memory.
To measure acute (after single dose) and chronic (after two weeks daily dosing) effects of GSK2981710 on cognition and neural function CANTAB will be used. This test assesses continuous performance and visual sustained attention.
To measure acute (after single dose) and chronic (after two weeks daily dosing) effects of GSK2981710 on cognition and neural function CANTAB will be used. This test measures of attention, and combines simple reaction time and choice reaction time elements
This test measures the participant's ability to recognize objects previously presented on a computer screen, and more importantly, to recall the spatial location of those objects.
