About this study

Official title: Acute Cardiovascular and Metabolic Effects of Exercise Training in Individuals

The investigators wish to determine whether a short period of exercise training (5-10 days) improves the metabolic and cardiovascular response of people with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes to eating a meal. In healthy people, blood flow to skeletal muscles increases after eating a meal, and this helps to regulate blood sugar levels by delivering blood sugar to muscles where it can be stored or metabolized. In people with or at risk of type 2 diabetes, blood flow does not increase as much after eating a meal, and this may contribute to elevated blood sugar concentrations observed in these individuals. The investigators wish to determine whether exercise can improve this response.

Read the detailed description

Insulin resistance is characterized by decreased sensitivity to the metabolic actions of insulin (glucose disposal) and is a hallmark of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Insulin resistance is also a prominent component of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and atherosclerosis, which are characterized by endothelial dysfunction. Insulin stimulates two distinct signaling pathways in the endothelium. One produces the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) through the insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1)/endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) pathway while the other stimulates production of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a vasoconstrictor, through the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Insulin-mediated glucose disposal is largely dependent upon the vasodilatory effects of insulin; however, in T2D, insulin-stimulated dilation is impaired as a result of an imbalance in NO and ET-1 production, leading to diminished microvascular perfusion and skeletal muscle glucose delivery in response to insulin. The effects of exercise on insulin signaling/action in the endothelium are not fully understood. The purpose of this study is determine the acute effects of aerobic exercise training on cardiometabolic responses to meal ingestion in individuals with insulin resistance or T2D. We will recruit 30 previously sedentary (<60 minutes of planned exercise/week) men and women with insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) or T2D for participation in this study. Participants will undergo a screening procedure, including telephone screening and physical examination, as well as determination of body composition and fitness. Participants will be asked to complete 5-10 days of supervised exercise training and will undergo testing to assess cardiovascular and metabolic responses to an oral glucose tolerance test, including muscle sympathetic nerve activity, blood flow, and circulating glucose and insulin concentrations at baseline and following training. In addition, participants will use continuous glucose monitoring systems for 3 days at baseline and during 3 days of exercise training to assess the effects of acute exercise on postprandial glucose responses to mixed meals in free-living individuals. The overall aim of the project is to determine whether or not acute exercise training influences postprandial metabolic, vascular or autonomic nervous system responses in individuals with insulin resistance or T2D.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 9 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 Sep 2015. 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?

The overall aim of the project is to determine whether or not acute exercise training influences postprandial metabolic, vascular or autonomic nervous system responses in individuals with insulin resistance or T2D. (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT00972452, 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 24 Sep 2015.
