Clinical Trial Summary

It has been proposed that the rapid gastric emptying of carbohydrate containing fluids into the intestine causes hyperglycemia followed by reactive hypoglycemia. The investigators have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in response to a glucose load is increased in children with Post-prandial hypoglycemia (PPH). This is a proof of concept study to investigate the causative role of GLP-1 in the pathophysiology of PPH after fundoplication by evaluating the effects of GLP-1 receptor antagonism on metabolic variables after a mixed meal.

Hypothesis: In children with post-prandial hypoglycemia after fundoplication, antagonism of the GLP-1 receptor by exendin-(9-39) will elevate nadir blood glucose levels after a meal challenge and prevent post-prandial hypoglycemia.


Clinical Trial Description

PPH is a frequent complication of fundoplication in children. The mechanism responsible for the PPH is poorly understood, but involves an exaggerated insulin response to a meal and subsequent hypoglycemia. We have shown that children with PPH after Nissen fundoplication have abnormally exaggerated secretion of GLP-1, an incretin hormone with multiple glucose lowering effects including stimulation of insulin secretion and suppression of glucagon secretion. In this study we seek to examine the causal role of endogenous GLP-1 in PPH after fundoplication by evaluating the effects of antagonizing the GLP-1 receptor with exendin-(9-39) on key metabolic features of PPH. ;
