Summary

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of saxagliptin, an anti-diabetes medication, on hepatic and myocardial fat content and monocyte inflammation in patients with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT).

Conditions

  • Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Interventions

DRUG

Saxagliptin

Subjects will be randomized to receive either Saxagliptin 5mg daily orally or placebo for 6 months. All subjects will receive baseline measurements of fasting plasma glucose, free fatty acids, plasma adipocytokines, plasma levels of inflammatory markers and C Reactive Protein (CRP), Intracellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), plasma lipids, and glucose tolerance (75 gram oral glucose tolerance test) as well as measurement of liver and myocardial fat content and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function with magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy. All subjects will also undergo measurements of monocyte inflammatory proteins at baseline. All subjects will undergo repeat measurements of fasting plasma glucose, Free Fatty Acids, inflammatory markers and adipocytokines, oral glucose tolerance test, monocyte inflammation, as well as hepatic/myocardial fat content determination and left ventricular function at the end of the 6 months.

DRUG

Placebo

Subjects will be randomized to receive either Saxagliptin 5mg daily orally or placebo for 6 months. Prior to randomization, all subjects will receive baseline measurements of fasting plasma glucose, free fatty acids, plasma adipocytokines, plasma levels of inflammatory markers and CRP, ICAM, VCAM, plasma lipids, and glucose tolerance (75 gram oral glucose tolerance test) as well as measurement of liver and myocardial fat content and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function with magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy. All subjects will also undergo measurements of monocyte inflammatory proteins at baseline. All subjects will undergo repeat measurements of fasting plasma glucose, Free Fatty Acids, inflammatory markers and adipocytokines, oral glucose tolerance test, monocyte inflammation, as well as hepatic/myocardial fat content determination and left ventricular function at the end of the 6 month treatment period.
