Study of the Effects of Xenin-25 in Humans With and Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

NCT00798915

Non-randomizedCrossoverSingle-blindTreatment

Summary

An intestinal hormone called Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) is released into the blood immediately after ingestion of a meal and plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels. However, GIP is not active in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which is also known as adult onset or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. This study is being conducted to determine whether a hormone called xenin-25 can restore the activity of GIP in persons with T2DM.
