About this study

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCD) is the first cause of morbidity and mortality at type 2 diabetes. The typical dyslipidemia that is associated with insulin resistance, which includes a postprandial elevation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) with excess of intestinal triglyceride-rich-lipoprotein-apoB48 (TRL-apoB48), is felt to play an important role in the accelerated ASCD.

The investigators' objectives in this study are to determine whether an acute elevation of plasma insulin, secondarily to plasma insulin infusion, modulates the production and the clearance rates of intestinal TRL-apoB48 in type 2 diabetic patients in the fed state and to determine if this is a direct effect of insulin or an indirect effect due to the decrease of plasma FFA or the decrease of plasma glucose.

Read the detailed description

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCD) is the first cause of morbidity and mortality at type 2 diabetes. The typical dyslipidemia that is associated with insulin resistance, which includes a postprandial elevation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) with excess of intestinal triglyceride-rich-lipoprotein-apoB48 (TRL-apoB48), is felt to play an important role in the accelerated ASCD. Recently, intestinal TRL-apoB48 overproduction appeared as a newly recognized component of insulin resistance. Despite ample evidence supporting the delayed clearance of intestinal TRL-apoB48, there is only a limited amount of information in the literature regarding the factors modulating the production of intestinal TRL-apoB48 in the setting of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Several arguments suggest that the intestine is not a "passive" organ with respect to lipoprotein production, but an organ metabolically active, receiving information from intestinal lumen and blood and able to modulate its syntheses and its lipid secretions according to the substrata, to the insulin or to other substances. There are functional relationships between the intestine and the liver. For example, it has been recently shown that acute elevation of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) in humans stimulates intestinal TRL-apoB48 and hepatic TRL-apoB100 production.

Aims: Our objectives in this study are to determine whether an acute elevation of plasma insulin, secondarily to plasma insulin infusion, modulates the production and the clearance rates of intestinal TRL-apoB48 in type 2 diabetic patients in the fed state and to determine if this is a direct effect of insuline or an indirect effect due to the decrease of plasma FFA or the decrease of plasma glucose.

Patients and methods: This study will be performed in 30 men with type 2 diabetes in a 2-step protocol. We use a stable isotope method (D3-L-leucine) to study the kinetic of the intestinal TRL-apoB48 and hepatic TRL-apoB100 (production and clearance rates).

In the first step of the protocol, all the patients will have a kinetic study of the TRL-apoB48 in conditions of a saline infusion to measure the "basal" production and clearance rates of the TRL-apoB48. In the second step, type 2 diabetic patients will be divided in 3 different paired groups: one performing an euglycaemic hyperinsulinic clamp to maintain plasma glucose around 1g/l ; one performing an euglycaemic hyperinsulinic clamp to maintain plasma glucose around 1g/l, but being infused with Endolipide 20 % (12,5 ml/h) and heparin (250 U/h) to prevent the suppressive effect of insulin on plasma FFA ; one performing a hyperglycaemic hyperinsulinic clamp to maintain plasma glucose around 2 g/l to prevent the decreasing effect of insulin on plasma glucose.

The research ethics board of the Université de la Méditerranée (Comité de protection des personnes-Sud méditerranée I) and the Afssaps (Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des produits de santé) approved the study and all subjects gave written informed consent prior to their participation.

General objective: Given the potential atherogenicity of the intestinal TRL-apoB48 particles, understanding the factors and the biochemical mechanisms of their accumulation in the plasma in the insulin resistant states may lead to specific therapeutic modalities that reduce their plasma concentration and protect against the highly prevalent atherosclerosis that is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

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?

To determine whether an acute elevation of plasma insulin, secondarily to plasma insulin infusion, modulates the production and the clearance rates of intestinal TRL-apoB48 in type 2 diabetic patients in the fed state (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT00950209, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
