About this study

Official title: Genetic and Metabolic Basis of Familial Partial Lipodystrophy

Studying patients with rare adipose tissue disorders may help the investigators to better understand the pathophysiology of diabetes and dyslipidemia in relation to adiposity, and thus have an enormous impact on public health.

Read the detailed description

A systematic study of body fat distribution is necessary to better define the phenotypic spectrum of FPL, and to better recognize FPL in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Similarly, genetic studies in these patients will not only help better characterize the genotype-phenotype relationship, but is also likely to help identify other genes involved in regulation of lipid homeostasis, as some patients may not have any of the known mutations.

The Investigators will systematically study mitochondrial protein quality and function under fasting and fed state in relation to intramyocellular and circulating plasma lipid levels, and compare with age, sex and BMI-matched individuals. The Investigators will also study the rate of de-novo protein synthesis to determine if hyperinsulinemia affects both muscle protein anabolism and catabolism.

What is being measured

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

  1. Upper body muscle strength measured by chest press dynamometry

    Measured: Before consumption of a high fat mixed meal

  2. Change in fractional mitochondrial protein synthesis rates

    Measured: Before and after consumption of a high fat mixed meal (approximately 4 hours after the meal)

  3. Lower body muscle strength measured by knee extension

    Measured: Before consumption of a high fat mixed meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High fat mixed meal in people with Lipodystrophy, Familial Partial, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 24 Nov 2021. 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?

Upper body muscle strength measured by chest press dynamometry (time frame: Before consumption of a high fat mixed meal). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Nov 2021.
