AI Article Synopsis
- A study measured how fast a glucose drink empties from the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes who took either lixisenatide or a placebo for 8 weeks.
- Those taking lixisenatide showed significantly less gastric emptying after 240 minutes compared to those on the placebo (2% vs 48%).
- This suggests that lixisenatide can greatly delay the process of liquid gastric emptying.
Article Abstract
Gastric emptying of a glucose drink was measured in people with type 2 diabetes given lixisenatide (20 μg/day or placebo) for 8 weeks. Intragastric retention at 240 min (2 (0-11)% vs 48 (3-97)%; P < 0.0001) was much greater with lixisenatide than placebo. Accordingly, lixisenatide may delay liquid gastric emptying markedly.
