Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Pioglitazone, a drug used in treatment of type 2 diabetes has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle, liver, and fat cells. Despite the beneficial effects of pioglitazone to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce cardiovascular disease in high risk type 2 diabetic patients, weight gain has been a limiting factor. Exenatide, another agent used for treatment of T2DM, improves glycemic control and promotes moderate weight loss. In this proposal we will examine the effect of combination therapy with pioglitazone plus exenatide on body weight, fat topography, beta cell function, glycemic control, and plasma lipid levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to treatment with each drug separately. Assessment of beta cell function will be performed by measuring the maximal insulin secretory capacity using a maximal hyperglycemic stimulus combined with an intravenous arginine stimulus.
