Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetes
A study testing Exercise and muscle biopsies in people with Diabetes and Obese, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether insulin resistance is accompanied by "exercise resistance". Investigators will use mass spectrometry and proteomics analysis to test the hypothesis is that a bout of exercise that increases mitochondrial protein abundance in lean, healthy individuals is less effective… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: PGC-1 and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetes, Aims 4 & 5
The purpose of this study is to determine whether insulin resistance is accompanied by "exercise resistance". Investigators will use mass spectrometry and proteomics analysis to test the hypothesis is that a bout of exercise that increases mitochondrial protein abundance in lean, healthy individuals is less effective in insulin resistant patients.
Read the detailed description
The investigators' prior research has focused on defining the changes in expression of nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes that predict changes in insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle, with the goal of defining the molecular mechanisms underlying the connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.
Three groups of subjects will be studied: lean, healthy control subjects (n=12) obese non-diabetic subjects (n=12) and patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=12) for a total of 36 subjects. Twenty subjects have completed the study at Arizona State University; the remaining 16 subjects will be accrued at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
Subjects will come to the Mayo Clinic 4 times. On Study Day 1 Subjects will be screened with a medical history \& physical and a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test to determine if they are eligible for the study. On Study Day 2, subjects will report to the clinic after an overnight fast, undergo a euglycemic clamp (using deuterated glucose) to determine insulin sensitivity, and in addition have a muscle biopsy (basal biopsy for comparison). On Study Day 3, subjects will report to the clinic after an overnight fast, and undergo a Volume Oxygen Maximum (VO_2 max) determination. On Study Day 4, subjects will report to the clinic after an overnight fast to perform an exercise bout with muscle biopsy 30 minutes after the end of exercise. This will be followed by an overnight fast, and an additional muscle biopsy at 24 hours post exercise.

Exercise and muscle biopsiesBehavioural
Subjects will undergo a euglycemic clamp, VO_2 max determination, exercise periods and muscle biopsies.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Obese Non-Diabetic Subjects | Experimental | All subjects on this arm will undergo exercise and muscle biopsies. Receives: Behavioral: Exercise and muscle biopsies |
| Type 2 Diabetic Subjects | Experimental | All subjects on this arm will undergo exercise and muscle biopsies. Receives: Behavioral: Exercise and muscle biopsies |
| Healthy Control Subjects | Experimental | All subjects on this arm will undergo exercise and muscle biopsies. Receives: Behavioral: Exercise and muscle biopsies |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Protein Concentration of Mitochondria
Protein concentration will be determined from muscle biopsies by the method of Lowry. 75 micrograms of muscle lysate proteins will be separated on a 10% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel, and then visualized with Coomassie stain. The gel lane will be cut into cubes, digested with trypsin and cleaned, then protein abundance will be determined using spectral counting.
Measured: Study Day 4 (30 min after exercise) and (24 hours after exercise)

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?
Protein Concentration of Mitochondria (time frame: Study Day 4 (30 min after exercise) and (24 hours after exercise)). 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 12 May 2014.
