PG - 20062 LID - 10.1038/s41598-021-99527-y [doi] LID - 20062 AB - In this study, we investigated the effect of exenatide (EXE), a glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonist, on kidney function, obesity indices, and glucose control in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 159 overweight/obese patients with T2DM were randomized to the EXE group or insulin glargine (GLAR) control group for a total treatment period of 24 weeks. EXE intervention significantly reduced the urine albumin concentration (UAC) at week 12 and 24 endpoints (P < 0.001 at week 12 and 24). The levels of the anthropometric, glucose and lipid parameters (TG and HDL-c), and inflammation biomarkers (CRP and TNF-alpha) in the EXE group were improved at 12 weeks or 24 weeks, respectively. Meanwhile, a comparison between two groups showed significant changes in anthropometric parameters, glucose parameters, lipid parameters (TG and HDL-c), and Inflammation biomarkers (CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha). Serum fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) was increased in the EXE group (P = 0.005) at week 24, and the change was significantly improved compared with GLAR group (P = 0.003). Correlation network analysis showed that FGF21 had a more central role in improving metabolism in the EXE group, and the change of FGF 21 was significantly negatively correlated with UAC at week 12 and week 24, respectively (r = - 0.297, P = 0.010; r = - 0.294, P = 0.012). Our results showed that EXE could help patients improve UAC, glycemic levels, and inflammatory biomarkers after a follow-up period of 24 weeks intervention. These EXE effects may be partly mediated by FGF 21, indicating that EXE is an effective and safe way to control albuminuria in overweight/obese patients with T2DM. CI - (c) 2021. The Author(s).
