About this study

Official title: Effect of Acute Angiotensin Receptor Blockade on Insulin Resistance and Selected Cytokines in Adipose Tissue in Type 2 Diabetes

The study aims to investigate the effect of acute angiotensin receptor blockade on insulin action/insulin resistance and expressions of selected adipocytokines in subcutaneous adipose tissue in insulin-resistant subjects with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls.

Hypothesis: Changes in adipocytokine concentrations and/or expressions and different reactions to acute in vivo induced hyperinsulinemia and angiotensin receptor blockade will be found in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy subjects. A significant relationships between insulin sensitivity and selected adipokines and intracellular fat content and high energy phosphates in soleus muscle will be documented in healthy individuals, while no significant relation will be found in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

10-15 patients with type 2 diabetes and 10-15 healthy control subjects will be examined on an outpatient basis. The following examination will be carried out in each subject after 12 hrs fasting:

  • Oral glucose tolerance test (75 g of glucose) (in healthy subjects to confirm the normal tolerance of glucose).
  • Evaluation of insulin secretion after 1 mg of glucagon i.v.
  • Hyperinsulinaemic (75 milly-international unit(mIU)/l) euglycemic clamp study lasting 4 hours combined with indirect calorimetry and biopsy of subcutaneous adipose tissue.
  • Hyperinsulinemic (75 mIU/l) euglycemic clamp study lasting 4 hours combined with indirect calorimetry after losartan 100 mg given in the evening and in the morning before the study.
  • Proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Before (0 min), at 30 min and in the end of studies c) and d) the blood samples will be taken and biopsies of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. insulin sensitivity measured as glucose disposal during clamp

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. plasma adipokines and their expressions in SAT

    Measured: at 0 and 240 min of the clamp

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperinsulinaemia, Losartan and Saline in people with Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine at 1 site in Czechia.

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 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 18 Oct 2013. 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 Czechia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

insulin sensitivity measured as glucose disposal during clamp (time frame: 4 hours). 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 Oct 2013.
