Status:
Completed

Participant gender:
All
Summary
Exenatide acutely inhibits intestinal lipoprotein particle production. We are unable to speculate whether exenatide affects hepatic lipoprotein production in humans since there is currently no evidence from animal models or in vitro studies that have demonstrated an effect
