Cardiovascular Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Activation
September 25, 2022 updated by: James Matt Luther, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
This project tests the principle hypothesis that stable glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have specific GLP1R-dependent beneficial effects on vascular endothelial function, fibrinolysis and inflammation in obesity that exceed the benefits of weight loss, and that genetic or other individual factors that modulate GLP1R sensitivity can modify the effect of these analogues on cardiovascular risk.

- Allocation: Randomized
- Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
- Masking: Quadruple
Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: liraglutide
Subjects in the liraglutide group will receive subcutaneous liraglutide (0.6 mg/d for one week, 1.2 mg/d for one week, and then 1.8 mg/d for 12 weeks) and oral placebo.
|
subcutaneous liraglutide daily
Subjects in the liraglutide arm will receive a placebo for sitagliptin.
Those in the sitagliptin arm will receive a placebo for liraglutide.
All subjects will receive a placebo for Exendin 9-39.
All subjects will receive Exendin (9-39) or matching placebo in crossover fashion during study days on the first and third days of the second week after randomization and again on the 5th and 7th days of the 14th week of treatment.
|
Active Comparator: sitagliptin
Subjects in the sitagliptin group will receive subcutaneous placebo daily and sitagliptin 100 mg/d orally for 14 weeks.
|
Subjects in the liraglutide arm will receive a placebo for sitagliptin.
Those in the sitagliptin arm will receive a placebo for liraglutide.
All subjects will receive a placebo for Exendin 9-39.
All subjects will receive Exendin (9-39) or matching placebo in crossover fashion during study days on the first and third days of the second week after randomization and again on the 5th and 7th days of the 14th week of treatment.
oral sitagliptin daily
|
Active Comparator: hypocaloric diet
Subjects in the hypocaloric diet group will be given a caloric goal designed to achieve a weight loss similar to that expected in the liraglutide treatment arm based on his or her resting energy expenditure.
Subjects will be provided counseling and written instructions on how to achieve their daily caloric goal, including use of their own mobile phone applications to monitor caloric intake.
To assure compliance with the prescribed caloric goal, subjects will meet with the study dietitian every other week for problem solving and review of diet intake logs.
