Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint The total rate of glucose appearance following the breakfast meal at visits 3 and 7, measured as area under the curve (AUC) from 0-180 minutes and AUC from 0-240 minutes, where the meal is given at 0 minutes. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 180 minutes and 240 minutes where the meal is given at 0 minutes.; Main Objective: 1. To investigate how Lixisenatide lowers blood glucose after feeding. ; Secondary Objective: 2. To investigate the effects of Lixisenatide on the contributions of fat coming from the intestine and fat coming from the liver to the raised levels of fat found in blood after feeding in patients with type II diabetes. 3. To investigate the effects of Lixisenatide on the rate at which food is absorbed from the gut. 4. To investigate the activity of a protein which is involved in fat breakdown. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoints as above ; Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints At visits 3 and 7 • endogenous glucose production measured as AUC (0-180 minutes) and AUC (0-240 minutes) • rate of meal glucose appearance measured as AUC (0-180 minutes) and AUC (0-240 minutes) • glucose clearance rate measured as AUC (0-180 minutes) and AUC (0-240 minutes) • postprandial glycaemia measured as AUC (0-180 minutes) and AUC (0-240 minutes) • the rate of gastric emptying • post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activity At visits 4 and 8 • the production rate of chylomicrons • the production rate of VLDL • the clearance rate of chylomicrons • the clearance rate of VLDL • postprandial triglyceridaemia (AUC- visits 3 and 7; steady state TGs - visits 4 and 8) • energy intake measured by diet diary | — |
