Effects of exenatide and lifestyle modification on body weight and glucose tolerance in obese subjects with and without pre-diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the effects of exenatide on body weight and glucose tolerance in nondiabetic obese subjects with normal or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

Research design and methods

Obese subjects (n = 152; age 46 +/- 12 years, female 82%, weight 108.6 +/- 23.0 kg, BMI 39.6 +/- 7.0 kg/m(2), IGT or IFG 25%) were randomized to receive exenatide (n = 73) or placebo (n = 79), along with lifestyle intervention, for 24 weeks. RESULTS Exenatide-treated subjects lost 5.1 +/- 0.5 kg from baseline versus 1.6 +/- 0.5 kg with placebo (exenatide--placebo, P < 0.001). Placebo-subtracted difference in percent weight reduction was -3.3 +/- 0.5% (P < 0.001). Both groups reduced their daily calorie intake (exenatide, -449 cal; placebo, -387 cal). IGT o
