Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The investigators recently demonstrated that blockade of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1's (GLP-1) receptor (GLP1R) results in changes in islet function without changes in circulating GLP-1. These effects are more pronounced in people with early type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in keeping with increased expression of PC-1/3 and GLP-1 that is observed in diabetic islets. However, its regulation is at present unknown. Common genetic variation in the TCF7L2 locus (T-allele at rs7903146) arguably confers the greatest genetic risk of T2DM. It is associated with α- and β-cell dysfunction. TCF7L2 (the product of TCF7L2) was first described as the transcription factor necessary for proglucagon expression in intestinal L-cells (which secrete GLP-1). This led to speculation that TCF7L2 confers risk of diabetes via changes in circulating GLP-1. This has turned out to not be the case. This raises the possibility that these diabetogenic effects are mediated via an inability of islet GLP-1 to adapt to rising glycemia. Therefore, this experiment will determine the contribution of islet GLP-1 to the functional abnormalities of the islet associated with the TCF7L2 locus.

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
