TinyGemsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) to Commence Diabetes and Weight Loss Animal Study

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced details for an eight-week animal study, WEIGHT-A24-1, to examine diabetes and weight loss effects of DehydraTECH-processed glucagon-like peptide 1 (“GLP-1”) drugs and DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol, alone and in combination. The contract for the study was awarded to a third-party, Health Canada-licensed research laboratory. Manufacturing of the compositions for the first eight of the 12 study arms has been completed, and those arms will commence as soon as possible at the testing laboratory, expected to begin within 45 days. Each arm of the study will be dosed for eight weeks following an acclimation period. During the study, over 1,500 blood plasma samples will be collected from the total rat population of 72 animals for the purpose of analyzing detailed pharmacokinetic drug delivery. Body weight and blood glucose readings will be taken prior to the start of the study and at regular intervals during and at conclusion of the dosing period. Upon completion of the study, brain tissue will be analyzed to help determine whether DehydraTECH processing results in higher brain absorption than non-DehydraTECH arms, as Lexaria has evidenced numerous times in previous animal studies.
