Brief Summary

Incretin-based therapies have shown significant effects beyond those on glucose metabolism. We aim in the present study to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on several cardio-metabolic risk markers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • carotid intima-media thickness

    carotid intima-media thickness will be assessed by doppler ultrasonography

    every four months for a total period of 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • changes in oxidative stress markers

    after 2 months of therapy

  • changes in plasma ghrelin concentrations and heat-shock proteins

    after 2 months of therapy

  • changes in atherogenic lipoproteins

    after 2 and after 4 months of therapy

Study Arms (1)

Liraglutide

administration of liraglutide at 1.2 mg/daily
