Effect of GLP-1 on Insulin Biosynthesis and Turnover Rates

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, January 2008

Sponsors and Collaborators: Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
Merck
Information provided by: Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00609154
  Purpose

The gut hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has been shown to have important effects on maintaining the function and health of the insulin producing beta cells. This hormone is known to increase the production rate of new insulin as well as increase the release of insulin into the blood. We will measure the rate of new insulin production in subjects with Type 2 diabetes compared to non diabetic subjects. We hypothesize that subjects with Type 2 diabetes make less insulin in response to GLP-1 compared to non diabetic subjects.
