About this study
The Pima Indians have the highest reported prevalence of NIDDM of any population in the world. Within this population, it is possible to identify subgroups of individuals at a particularly high risk for NIDDM. This project examines whether defects in insulin secretion contribute to the higher risk of NIDDM in these subgroups and whether they progress over the course of the disease.
Healthy Pima men and women at high risk for NIDDM including individuals in the following 3 groups will be recruited: 1)persons whose mothers and/or father developed diabetes at an early age (< 35 y); 2) persons whose mothers were diabetic during pregnancy; and 3) persons whose birthweight was < 2500 g. These individuals, as well as subjects with none of the above risk factors and a group of non-Pima controls, will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Research Unit at Phoenix Indian Medical Center for the following series of studies. Body composition will be determined by DXA scanning and by measuring the amount os visceral abdominal fat using MRI. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and a 25-g intravenous glucose tolerance test will be performed. Insulin action will be measured with a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic glucose clamp (insulin infusion: 40mU/m(2) min and insulin secretory responses to glucose will be measured during a 5-step hyperglycemic glucose clamp immediately thereafter. Pima subjects will be followed longitudinally after discharge from the unit and oral glucose tolerance tests will be performed every three months. Individuals who transition from normal to impaired glucose tolerance or impaired glucose tolerance to diabetic will be invited back to the Clinical Research Center for repeat testing.
By comparing insulin secretion-glucose dose-response curves, it may be possible to discern subtle defects in insulin secretion predisposing certain individuals to NIDDM. In addition, comparison of the responses in the offspring of diabetic pregnancies with those in the offspring of mothers who subsequently became diabetic may allow us to separate defects due to genetic causes from those due to the intrauterine environment. Finally, studying subjects as they progress from normal glucose tolerance to diabetes will test whether the defects in insulin secretion are progressive and contribute to the development of NIDDM.

The Pima Indians have the highest reported prevalence of NIDDM of any population in the world. Within this population, it is possible to identify subgroups of individuals at a particularly high risk for NIDDM. This project examines whether defects in insulin secretion contribute to the higher risk of NIDDM in these subgroups and whether they progress over the course of the disease.
Healthy Pima men and women at high risk for NIDDM, including individuals in the following 4 groups, will be recruited: 1) persons whose mother and/or father developed diabetes at an early age (less than 35 y); 2) persons whose mothers were diabetic during pregnancy; 3) persons whose birth-weight was less than 2500 g; and 4) persons with enlarged abdominal fat cells (greater than 1.08 microgram lipid/cell). These individuals, as well as subjects with none of the above risk factors and a group of non-Pima controls, will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Research Unit at Phoenix Indian Medical Center for the following series of studies. Body composition will be determined by DXA scanning and by measuring the amount of fat in the abdomen and thigh using MRI. Fat cell size will be determined by image scanning of randomly chosen photographs of the isolated fat cells. Skeletal muscle tissue will be obtained by percutaneous biopsy for histochemical determination of the fat content of muscle cells. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and a 25-g intravenous glucose tolerance test will be performed. Insulin action will be measured with a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic glucose clamp (insulin infusion: 40mU/m(2) min) and insulin secretory responses to glucose will be measured during a 5-step hyperglycemic glucose clamp immediately thereafter. Pima subjects will be followed longitudinally after discharge from the unit and oral glucose tolerance tests will be performed every three months. Individuals who transition from normal to impaired glucose tolerance or impaired glucose tolerance to diabetic will be invited back to the Clinical Research Center for repeat testing.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of NIDDM, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 2 Jul 2017. 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.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00410800, which also lists 4 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 2 Jul 2017.
