In contrast to the progressive 3.22+/-0.42% increase in HbA1c in control ZDF rats observed over 28 days, single exenatide-LAR injections dose-proportionally prevented such glycaemic deterioration (median effective dose 74 microg+/-0.1 log per rat; median effective concentration 52 pmol/l+/-0.06 log).
