About this study

Official title: Lipid and Carbohydrate Metabolism: Effects of Exercise

The purpose of this study was to examine the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and the relation to the metabolic syndrome in humans.

Read the detailed description

In this study insulin resistant (IR), young offspring of parents with type 2 diabetes (18-46 years) and healthy, lean elderly individuals (65-90 years) underwent 1H/13C MRS measurements of liver and muscle lipid and glycogen content before and after a high carbohydrate meal challenge. Hepatic de novo lipogenesis was determined as the incorporation of deuterium, from deuterium labeled water (2H2O), into plasma triglycerides 5. These metabolic studies were performed in 2 sets: Study Part 1: Resting, Study Part 2: After 1 bout of 45 minutes exercise.

The study has been completed and published as two papers: August 16, 2011 and July 24, 2012.

Study groups in NCT02196051
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise TrainingExperimentalParticipants engaged in a single bout of elliptical exercise for 45 minutes (3 times 15 minutes spaced by 5 minutes rest) at baseline. Subjects will be studied before and after this one bout to measure hepatic de novo lipogenesis. Hepatic de novo lipogenesis will be compared pre and post to examine whether acutely improving muscle glucose uptake will decrease hepatic de novo lipogenesis as the glucose is taken up by muscle and not directed to the liver.
Receives: Other: one bout of 45 minutes exercise

What is being measured

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

  1. change in de novo lipogenesis

    At the baseline assessment, de novo lipogenesis was assessed after a high carbohydrate meal and a drink of heavy water. Muscle glycogen and lipid contents were measured pre- and post meal using 1H/13C MRS and de novo lipogenesis was assessed from the heavy water incorporation into blood lipid in samples collected overnight.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing one bout of 45 minutes exercise in people with Insulin Resistance, run by Yale University 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 8 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 15 Aug 2024. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 de novo lipogenesis (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02196051, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Aug 2024.
