The Reduced Insulinotropic Effect of a Continuous Infusion Relative to a Bolus Injection of GIP
- Conditions
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Interventions
- Drug: GIP ClampProcedure: Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)Drug: GIP BolusProcedure: hyperglycemic clamp
- Registration Number
- NCT02673554
- Lead Sponsor
- Diabeteszentrum Bad Lauterberg im Harz
- Brief Summary
In patients with type 2 diabetes, the incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) has lost its insulinotropic activity, but more so after continuous versus bolus administration. The design was a two-way crossover design comparing repeated bolus injection and continuous infusion of GIP under hyperglycaemic clamp conditions. Patients were age- gender- and weight-matched with type 2 diabetes, first degree relatives of such patients, and healthy subjects. Investigators performed a:
1. Oral glucose challenge;
2. hyperglycemic clamp (8.5 mmol/l) with two repeated GIP bolus administrations (50 pmol/kg body weight at 30 and 120 min); and
3. hyperglycemic clamp with continuous administration of GIP (2 pmol.kg-1.min-1 from 30-180 min).
To answer the question, whether rapid tachyphylaxis occurs with regard to the insulinotropic action of GIP, investigators studied type 2-diabetic patients, their first-degree relatives, and healthy controls under hyperglycaemic clamp conditions with two GIP bolus injections 90 min apart, and compared this to a continued intravenous infusion of GIP.
