Brief Summary

Rocca et al. reported first that the secretion of incretins, particular GLP-1 in rat is regulated by the enteric nervous system, the afferent and efferent vagus nerves \[1\]. Further, Kazakos et al. \[2\] reported that autonomic nerve disturbance (AND) in patients with T2DM impaired the incretin effect owing to decreased GLP-1 secretion. However, Toft-Nielsen et al. \[3\] reported that the decreased GLP-1 responses in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unlikely to be related to the AND and, thus, did not support the results of Rocca et al. and Kazakos et al. Recently, Yabe at al. \[4\] also observed the same observations in Japanese patients with T2DM. Meanwhile, Jin et al. reported that administration of DPP-IV inhibitor recovered the disturbance of diabetic nerve dysfunction in rat \[5\]. However, it is unknown whether the administration of DPP-IV inhibitor effects on the AND in human, although many studies are performed to investigate the effect of the DPP-IV inhibitors on glycemic control. Accordingly, it is significant to reinvestigate an effect of DPP-IV inhibitor on glycemic control and autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Type 1 and 2 diabetic patients who have AND determined by C.V. R-R, outpatients regularly visiting hospital and more than 20 years old (gender is disregarded). Type 1 diabetic patients are treated with Epalrestat 50 mg. 150 mg t.i.d., while type 2 diabetic patients are treated with DPP-IV inhibitors.

You may qualify if:

  • type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus patients
  • Patients who have AND determined by C.V. R-R.
  • Outpatients regularly visiting hospital
  • Patients 20 years old (gender is disregarded)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with a serious complication in the heart, liver or kidney
  • Pregnant or possibly pregnant patients, or lactating patients
  • Patients complicated with a malignant tumor at present.
  • Patients participating in other clinical study.
  • Other than the above, patients judged inappropriate as the subjects of this study by the investigator
