Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of sitagliptin on postprandial glycemia, incretin hormones and blood pressure, and the relationship to gastric emptying, after a mashed potato meal in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to (i) evaluate the acute effects of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin (100mg once daily for two days), on gastric emptying, postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, glucagon and 'incretin' hormones (ie. glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)), blood pressure and heart rate after a high carbohydrate meal, and (ii) to determine whether the magnitude of the effects of sitagliptin on postprandial glycaemia and blood pressure is related to the rate of gastric emptying, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The rate of entry of carbohydrate into the small intestine is especially important in patients with diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin is an orally administered inhibitor of dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), the enzyme responsible for the degradation of GLP-1. It is hypothesized that sitagliptin will increase the GLP-1 response to, and thereby slow gastric emptying and diminish the glycaemic and blood pressure response to, a carbohydrate-containing meal.

Twenty healthy subjects (male and female) will be studied. Each subject will be studied on two occasions following treatment for 2 days with sitagliptin (100mg once daily) or matching placebo in a randomized, double blind, crossover design. Measurements of gastric emptying, intragastric meal distribution, blood glucose concentrations, gut hormones, blood pressure, splanchnic flow and appetite will be measured for 4 hours following ingestion of a mashed potato meal.
