About this study

This is a family based genotype-phenotype study designed to assess genetic and environmental influences on obesity, insulin resistance and beta cell function in the context of gestational diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Mexican American women with prior gestational diabetes and their first degree relatives and Mexican American women with prior normal glucose tolerance in pregnancy are studied with detailed phenotyping consisting of oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests, body composition studies, diet and physical activity assessments, and circulating biomarkers potentially related to obesity, insulin resistance, pancreatic beta cell function, gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Spouses of the gestational diabetic and control probands are studied with oral glucose tolerance tests. Offspring of the gestational and control probands have fasting glucose determinations. All participants provide DNA for genetics testing. A subset of the gestational diabetic probands and their first degree relatives return 3-5 years after baseline testing for repeat phenotyping.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pancreatic Beta Cell Compensation for Insulin Resistance

    Disposition index from intravenous glucose tolerance test

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Insulin Senstivity

    Si from computer modeled intravenous glucose tolerance test

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  2. Acute Insulin Release

    Incremental area under insulin curve during first 10 minutes intravenous glucose tolerance test

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  3. Glucose tolerance

    normal, impaired or diabetic glucose level determined using American Diabetes Associate criteria applied to glucose levels from a 2-hour, 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  4. Diabetes type 2

    Fasting glucose >125 mg/dl and/or 2-hour glucose on 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test >199 mg/dl

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  5. Dietary Intake

    Measured by semi-quantitative Harvard Food Frequency Questionnaire

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  6. Physical Activity

    Measured by Multi-ethnic Cohort Physical Activity Questionnaire

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  7. Body Fat

    Percent body fat measured by dual photon X-ray absorptiometry

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

  8. Circulating adipokine levels

    Fasting levels of approximately 20 adipocytokines

    Measured: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gestational Diabetes and Diabetes Type 2, run by University of Southern California.

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 24 inclusion and 16 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 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Pancreatic Beta Cell Compensation for Insulin Resistance (time frame: Single time point for primary cohort, repeated 4.5 years later in subset). 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 18 Nov 2023.
