About this study
Official title: Modulating Physiologic Effects Of Phospholipid Metabolism In Obesity And Diabetes; AIM 4: Composition and Function of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Persons With the Metabolic Syndrome
The investigators previous research has suggested that lipid (fatty) composition in the muscle cells of mice plays a key role in their insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to determine whether these specific fat signatures translate to humans by comparing the muscle of healthy patients to those with pre-diabetes, or "the metabolic syndrome".
Read the detailed description
The Comp-SR study explores the role of lipid metabolism in key metabolic pathways in skeletal muscle. It is a translation of previous research done in mice studying the effects and functions of certain key enzymes involved in lipid metabolism found to be associated with insulin resistance. These enzymes are fatty acid synthase (FAS), choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1 (CEPT1) and sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA). Based on the investigators research, it appears that the activity and function of these enzymes determines the ratio of certain phospholipids in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), namely phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC). Furthermore, the investigators have found that the ratio of these phospholipids correlates with the mouse's sensitivity to insulin.
Based on the muscle biopsies of four healthy persons, it was found that human muscle contains similar phospholipids and phospholipid ratios to mice. It is hypothesized that these phospholipid signatures may be predictive of the metabolic status of humans as well. The specific aims of this study are to determine if the composition and function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is altered in persons with the metabolic syndrome compared to lean controls. This knowledge could provide new understanding of impediments to effective therapy, novel biomarkers of disease progression, and innovative treatment targets for diabetes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
muscle biopsyProcedure or surgery
A member of the study team will obtain a small sample of muscle tissue from the patient's thigh (vastus lateralis muscle).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Metabolic Syndrome | Muscle biopsy to determine sarcoplasmic reticulum composition and function, Oral Glucose tolerance test with insulin levels at time points to determine Insulin sensitivity, DEXA scan to determine lean muscle and fat mass Receives: Procedure: muscle biopsy | |
| Control | Muscle biopsy to determine sarcoplasmic reticulum composition and function, Oral Glucose tolerance test with insulin levels at time points to determine Insulin sensitivity, DEXA scan to determine lean muscle and fat mass Receives: Procedure: muscle biopsy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Composition
We will take a muscle tissue sample from the subject's thigh (vastus lateralis) to quantify phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine ratio of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Measured: Study Visit Week 4
Secondary outcomes (2)
Insulin Sensitivity
The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a calculated value using fasting glucose and insulin levels. It provides a measure of insulin resistance. HOMA-IR values between 0.5 and 1.4 are considered normal and values >2.9 indicate insulin resistance. The Matsuda Index reflects insulin sensitivity. It is calculated from glucose and insulin levels drawn fasting and during an OGTT. Matsuda Index values of 2.5 or higher are normal and indicate lack of insulin resistance or normal insulin sensitivity. Results of these measures are displayed graphically in the published paper.
Measured: Study visit week 4
Lean and Fat Body Mass
We will perform a Duel Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan to approximate lean and fat body mass of study subjects.
Measured: Study Visit week 4

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome, 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 5 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 26 Oct 2024. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Composition (time frame: Study Visit Week 4). 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 NCT02122666, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 26 Oct 2024.
