Effect of Exenatide Treatment on Myocardial Fat Content, Left Ventricular Function, and Vascular Inflammation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Exenatide and Glipizide for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of exenatide on liver and heart (myocardial) fat and inflammation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Type 2 diabetic subjects will be randomized to receive either Exenatide 10 micrograms twice daily injected subcutaneously or glipizide 5 mg twice daily orally for 6 months. All subjects will receive baseline measurements of fasting plasma glucose, free fatty acids, plasma adipocytokines, plasma lipids, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as well as measurement of liver and myocardial fat content and left ventricular function with magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy. All subjects will also undergo measurements of monocyte inflammatory proteins at baseline. All subjects will undergo repeat measurements of fasting plasma glucose, Free Fatty Acids, adipocytokines, HbA1c, monocyte inflammation, as well as hepatic/myocardial fat content determination and left ventricular function at the end of the 6 months.
