Effect of GLP-1 on Insulin Biosynthesis and Turnover Rates

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: glucose control
Registration Number
NCT00609154
Lead Sponsor
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.
