Filter by:The aim of study is impact of additional treatment with new antidiabetic drugs (semaglutide or empagliflozine) compared to control group in T1DM patients - impact on endothelial function measured by FMD and FPF, arterial stiffness - measured by PWV, inflammatory biomarkers, markers of oxidative stress and endothelial progenitor cells (CD 34+/VDRL2, CD 133+/VDRL2) and correlation with glucovariability or time in range, measured with CGM system.
The goal of this cross-over study in obese subjects is to learn about the common co-morbidity type 2 diabetes and the local formation of ketone bodies. The type of study is an exploratory trial with the participants as own controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does food intake-induced ketogenesis exist in the small intestine of obese individuals? 2. Are insulin resistance, the incretin GLP-1 release and the glucose transporter SGLT1 affected in obese individuals without type 2 diabetes in the same way as those with type 2 diabetes?
The distal ileum, where the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) releasing cells predominate, is an important organ in mediating glycemic control. However, the distal ileum is not easy to access and the correspond in vivo research remains to be difficult. The investigators intend to recruit subjects who underwent rectal surgery with simultaneous protective ileostomy and evaluate hormone secretion and glycemic excursions via ileostomy glucose or saline infusion, and quantify the glucose absorption rate within the distal ileum.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging pandemic in 2020 caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV2. Diabetes confers a significant additional risk for COVID-19 patients. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed ubiquitously in many tissues. In addition to its effect on glucose levels, DPP-4 has various effects on the immune system and several diseases, including lung diseases. This trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in the treatment of COVID-19. The trial will be randomized without blinding, with one are treated by insulin only for glucose balance and the other by insulin and linagliptin. The trial will assess the effects of linagliptin on different measures of COVID-19 recovery.
The role of incretins (GIP and GLP-1) on cells and bone tissue has been shown in cellular and animal studies. In humans, the role of these hormones is mainly studied in the pathophysiology of diabetes, their effect on bone is unknown. The serum incretin concentration is low and increases rapidly after a meal. This increase is brief, incretins being rapidly degraded by dipeptidylpeptidase 4 (DPP-4). The dosage of these hormones is complex and the basal "normal" serum concentrations and after feeding in healthy subjects are unknown. Before any study on the effect of incretins on bone remodeling in humans, it is necessary to establish physiological concentrations of incretins in healthy subjects. The aim of this study is to estimate physiological concentrations of incretins in healthy subject.
