Comparative Effects of Antidiabetic Medications on Postprandial Hyperlipidemia, Free Fatty Acid Signaling, and Endothelial Dysfunction in Individuals With Prediabetes
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Exenatide, Saxagliptin, and 2 other interventions for Prediabetes and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project addresses cardiovascular disease risk in patients with prediabetes. Levels of lipids after eating a meal ("postprandial lipids") are strong independent predictors of cardiovascular risk. Newer anti-diabetic agents - exenatide and saxagliptin - impact lipid metabolism. These medications will be studied for their effect in reducing both postprandial lipid levels and arterial dysfunction.
