A Dose-response of the Effects of Exendin-9,39 on GI Symptoms and Food Intake

Phase 1

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Other: Saline
Drug: Exendin-9,39
Registration Number
NCT02128581
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Exendin-(9,39) has been shown to have effects on beta-cell function, and after gastric bypass, to accelerate gastrointestinal transit. - infused at rates of 300pmol/kg/min. Given that gastrointestinal transit is typically delayed by Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and also that this hormone causes decreased food intake through increased satiation, it is reasonable to expect an effect of Exendin-9,39 on appetite. This may help explain the effects of gastric bypass on food intake. To examine the effect of Exendin on food intake we propose a dose-response study to determine whether the compound has effects in a dose-dependent fashion. We will examine the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms as well as food intake in the immediate aftermath of a test meal and the subsequent hours.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Calories consumed during buffet meal testapproximately 300 minutes after initiation

The calories consumed during buffet meal test at the end of each study test will help determine the effect of GLP-1 receptor blockade with Exendin-9,39 on food intake.
