Trial summary

In this study the investigators wish to compare Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics in type 2 diabetic males and healthy males postabsorptive and during hyperinsulinemia. The kinetics is obtained using an ex-vivo VLDL1- and VLDL2-triglyceride labeling technique. Read more about this study

About this study

In this study the investigators wish to compare Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics in type 2 diabetic males and healthy males postabsorptive and during hyperinsulinemia. The kinetics is obtained using an ex-vivo VLDL1- and VLDL2-triglyceride labeling technique. The investigators hypothesis is that the investigators will find an increased VLDL1 production in type 2 diabetic males, which is not lowered by hyperinsulinemia. Also the investigators wish to investigate the influence of diet on VLDL1 and VLDL2 production in healthy males, where the investigators expect less variance in VLDL production when the subject is given an isocaloric diet.

Read the detailed description

Patients with type 2 diabetes are more likely to suffer from dyslipidemia. Earlier research has shown that these patients have an increased VLDL production and this could be a key factor in dyslipidemia development. Especially the production of VLDL1 seems to be increased where an inhibitory response to insulin is lacking. Further investigation in VLDL1 and VLDL2 kinetics is required.

The investigators wish:

  1. To extend the method of ex vivo labeling of VLDL-triglyceride, to include separate labeling of VLDL1- and VLDL2-triglyceride for evaluation of the separate lipoprotein subtype kinetics.
  2. To investigate VLDL1- and VLDL2-triglyceride kinetics in the post absorptive state and under experimental hyperinsulinemia in twelve type 2 diabetic males compared to twelve healthy age, sex, and BMI matched males.
  3. To investigate the effect of a three day isocaloric diet compared to a non-restricted diet on the day-to-day variation in VLDL1 and VLDL2-triglyceride kinetics in healthy men. The investigators here examine six subjects on two different days who ingest a non-restricted diet and compare this group to six subjects examined on two different days, who have prior ingest a three day isocaloric diet.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • InsulinDrug

    Also called Actrapid, Novo Nordisk, A10AB01

    Insulin is given as a constant infusion( 0,6 mU/kg/min) during the hyperinsulinemia period of the study lasting four and a half hour.

  • insulinDrug

    Also called Actrapid, Novo Nordisk, A10AB01

    Insulin is given as a constant infusion( 0,6 mU/kg/min) during the hyperinsulinemia period of the study lasting four and a half hour.

  • dietOther

    The subjects ingest a three day isocaloric diet (55 % carbohydrate,30% fat, 15 % protein)prior to the study day.

  • no dietOther

    The subjects will ingest a non-restricted diet prior to the study day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Dyslipidemia, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 7 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 9 Dec 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

VLDL1 and VLDL2-triglyceride secretion rate (µmol/min) (time frame: 7 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 NCT01564550, 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.

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 9 Dec 2014.
