The Incretin Effect in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

January 12, 2010 updated by: University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen

The Incretin Effect in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis With and Without Secondary Diabetes Mellitus

The phenomenon that oral glucose elicits a higher insulin response than does intravenous (iv) glucose, even at identical plasma glucose (PG) profiles (isoglycemia), is called the incretin effect. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the incretin effect has been shown to be markedly reduced or even abolished. It is not known whether the reduced incretin effect in T2DM is a primary event leading to T2DM or if it is merely a consequence of the diabetic state. To answer this question the investigators plan to estimate the incretin effect in 8 patients with secondary diabetes mellitus (DM) to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and compare it to the incretin effect of 8 patients with CP and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Eight patients with T2DM and 8 healthy control subjects are studied for comparison. The incretin effect is measured by a 50-g oral glucose tolerance test and an isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Registration Dates

First Submitted

First Submitted

The date on which the study sponsor or investigator first submitted a study record to ClinicalTrials.gov. There is typically a delay of a few days between the first submitted date and the record's availability on ClinicalTrials.gov (the first posted date).

First Submitted That Met QC Criteria

First Submitted That Met QC Criteria

The date on which the study sponsor or investigator first submits a study record that is consistent with National Library of Medicine (NLM) quality control (QC) review criteria. The sponsor or investigator may need to revise and submit a study record one or more times before NLM's QC review criteria are met. It is the responsibility of the sponsor or investigator to ensure that the study record is consistent with the NLM QC review criteria.
