The Vascular Effects of Exenatide Versus Metformin in Patients With Pre-Diabetes
The Chronic and Acute Postprandial Vascular Effects of Exenatide vs. Metformin in Abdominally Obese Patients With Impaired Glucose Tolerance

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of exenatide versus metformin on vascular health with chronic (3-month) therapy and during a 2-hour period following a meal in patients with pre-diabetes. It is predicted that exenatide will improve vascular health to a greater degree compared to metformin.
