| Secondary Objective: To replicate the associated improvement in plasma markers of oxidative stress previously observed with repaglinide and to further elucidate this mechanism in terms of postprandial glucose homeostasis and incretin effect ; Main Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between postprandial release of incretin hormones, glucose homeostasis and plasma markers related to oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in relation to the use of the postprandial glucose regulator drug, repaglinide. The work will allow us to investigate:- (i) For the first time, any effects of repaglinide on the release of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). Since both have effects on postprandial glucose homeostasis and ?-cell mediated insulin release, we speculate that repaglinide might contribute to improved glucose homeostasis via incretin release. (ii) For the first time in vivo, the association between incretin hormones and plasma markers of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. ;Primary end point(s): | — |
