Trial summary

Experimental hyperglycemia (5 hours) will be induced via a constant- or fluctuating-rate glucose infusion to establish different patterns of glycemia in healthy individuals. The effects of these acute models of hyperglycemia on the adaptations to a single aerobic exercise bout will be tested. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Hyperglycaemia on the Response to Acute Exercise

Experimental hyperglycemia (5 hours) will be induced via a constant- or fluctuating-rate glucose infusion to establish different patterns of glycemia in healthy individuals. The effects of these acute models of hyperglycemia on the adaptations to a single aerobic exercise bout will be tested. Changes in pancreatic endocrine function, insulin sensitivity, endothelial function, and oxidative stress will be measured.

Study groups in NCT01771614
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normoglycemia + exerciseExperimentalAt T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise
Steady-State Hyperglycemia + exerciseExperimentalAt T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. During this time, steady-state hyperglycemia (~10 mM) will be induced experimentally via a variable-rate intravenous infusion of 20% dextrose. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise; Procedure: Hyperglycemia
Fluctuating Hyperglycemia + exerciseExperimentalAt T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. During this time, fluctuating hyperglycemia (~8-15 mM) will be induced by intravenously injecting 0.15 g/kg boluses of 20% dextrose every 30 minutes. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise; Procedure: Hyperglycemia

What is being measured

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

  1. Pancreatic endocrine function

    The plasma insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon responses to a 0.33 g/kg intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) will be measured. In each trial, the IVGTT will be performed at T = 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours.

    Measured: 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Glucose tolerance

    Glucose tolerance will be measured during an IVGTT in each trial at T = 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours.

    Measured: 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

  2. Endothelial function

    Blood flow and flow-mediated dilation by Doppler ultrasound will be measured in each trial at T = 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours.

    Measured: 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

  3. Oxidative stress

    Urine will be collected over the whole 24-hour period of each trial and 8-iso Prostaglandin F3α will be measured.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise and Hyperglycemia in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Pancreatic endocrine function (time frame: 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 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 16 May 2018.
