Trial summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how our body produces sugar, breaks down fat for fuel, and makes insulin (the major hormone that controls the production of blood sugar and fat breakdown) during a 24-hour day and how body fat and muscle are involved in these processes.

About this study

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how our body produces sugar, breaks down fat for fuel, and makes insulin (the major hormone that controls the production of blood sugar and fat breakdown) during a 24-hour day and how body fat and muscle are involved in these processes.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are diurnal differences in postprandial beta-cell function and hepatic insulin sensitivity and the factors that influence these metabolic functions, including insulin signaling, adipose tissue and systemic inflammation, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)-mediated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD) biosynthesis, and sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1)) in overweight human subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine postprandial beta-cell function (insulin secretion) after ingesting breakfast and dinner meals.

    Postprandial pancreatic beta-cell function will be evaluated by using a mixed meal labelled with stable isotope tracers, in conjunction with stable isotope tracer infusion. Metabolic outcomes from the breakfast meal will be compared with values obtained after dinner.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Determine postprandial hepatic insulin sensitivity (suppression of endogenous glucose production) after ingesting breakfast and dinner meals.

    Postprandial pancreatic hepatic insulin sensitivity will be evaluated by using a mixed meal labelled with stable isotope tracers, in conjunction with stable isotope tracer infusion. Metabolic outcomes from the breakfast meal will be compared with values obtained after dinner.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine whether there is diurnal variability in muscle insulin signaling

    This muscle samples will be obtained two times (every 12 hours for 24 hours)to assess NAMPT and NAD+ concentrations, SIRT1 activity, and factors involved in insulin signaling.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Determine whether there is diurnal variability in adipose tissue and systemic inflammation.

    Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples will be obtained four times (every 6 hours for 24 hours) to evaluate NAMPT and NAD+ concentrations, SIRT1 activity, and markers of inflammation.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Determine whether there is diurnal variability in NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis and SIRT1.

    Blood samples will be obtained at regular intervals for 24 hours to evaluate; 1)plasma free fatty acids (FFA), glucose and insulin concentrations, 2)NAMPT and NAD+ concentrations, 3)SIRT1 activity,and 4)systemic markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein and interleukin (IL) -6).

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overweight, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 8 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 30 Apr 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?

Determine postprandial beta-cell function (insulin secretion) after ingesting breakfast and dinner meals. (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02011581, 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 30 Apr 2015.
