The Importance of GLP-1 in Post RYGB Improvement in Glycaemic Control Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT01579981
Lead Sponsor
Hvidovre University Hospital
Brief Summary

After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) meal induced GLP-1 secretion is dramatically increased, while beta-cell function is increased in type 2 diabetic (T2D) subjects. The aim of this study is to establish causality between the two observations. By meal testing 10 T2D subjects with infusion of saline or exendin (9-39), a GLP-1R specific blocker, before and 1 week and 3 months after RYGB we hope to demonstrate the role of GLP-1 in improveing beta-cell function and maintaing glucose tolerance after RYGB in T2D subjects. Furthermore, effects of GLP-1 rec blockade before and after RYGB on ad libitum energy intake is examined
