Exenatide improves diastolic function and attenuates arterial stiffness but does not alter exercise capacity in individuals with type 2 diabetes

Administration of exenatide improved cardiac function and reduced arterial stiffness, however, these changes were not accompanied by improved functional exercise capacity. In order to realize the benefits of this drug on exercise capacity, combining exenatide with aerobic exercise training in participants with T2DM may be warranted.
