About this study

Official title: Role of Vascular Function: Oxygen Delivery vs Oxygen Utilization in the Exercise Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes

This study plans to learn more about the effects of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on exercise blood flow and muscle oxygen uptake. This study will evaluate \& compare exercise function during single leg plantar flexion exercise in a total of 45 subjects from the Denver area (15 lean controls, 15 people with T2DM, and 15 overweight control subjects).

Differences between the exercise responses in people with T2DM and healthy people will help further identify the disease process of T2DM and direct future research of treatments and interventions.

Read the detailed description

It is well established that functional exercise capacity and peak oxygen uptake (VO2) are reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with healthy counterparts. The mechanisms underlying the exercise deficit in T2DM remain largely unknown, but previous work has suggested that reduced exercise blood flow and impaired submaximal VO2 may be contributing factors. Both of these findings are consistent with a peripheral impairment of skeletal muscle oxygen delivery, oxygen utilization, or both. Indeed, dysfunction of skeletal muscle metabolism plays a key role in the pathophysiology of T2DM, and considerable work has described abnormalities of oxidative function in the skeletal muscle of people with T2DM. Given this, it is likely that the causes of exercise intolerance in T2DM may relate to specific defects at the level of the skeletal muscle, particularly given that skeletal muscle blood flow and oxidative capacity are impaired in diabetes. However, to our knowledge, no one has related these peripheral muscle abnormalities to the diminished exercise function in this patient group.

The overarching hypothesis for the proposed research is that both a failure to adequately increase muscle oxygen delivery following the onset of exercise and reduced oxidative function of skeletal muscle contribute to the acute oxygen deficit and diminished exercise tolerance that has been observed in patients with T2DM.

What participants receive

  • Single Leg Exercise TrainingOther

    Also called Exercise Training

    Following the completion of baseline testing, all 3 subject groups will undergo supervised single leg, exercise training of the index (dominant) calf muscle 5 days per week for two weeks - alternating weight-bearing single leg calf raises and single leg calf extensions by endurance resistance training (weight machine apparatus).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Muscle Oxygen Saturation

    The investigators evaluated the dynamics of muscle deoxygenation (O2 extraction) using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during single leg plantar flexion exercise to identify the predominant mechanisms of oxygen delivery versus oxygen utilization abnormalities in the muscle of T2DM during the transition from rest to exercise. These measurements were gathered continuously for 2-5 minutes of multiple exercise bouts within two visits, one prior to the exercise intervention period and one post exercise intervention.

    Measured: 4.5 hrs each, pre- and post- Exercise Intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single Leg Exercise Training in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Muscle Oxygen Saturation (time frame: 4.5 hrs each, pre- and post- Exercise Intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2023.
