About this study

Official title: Circulating IRAPe, Irisin and IL-34 in Relation to Insulin Resistance in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the role of extracellular part of insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAPe), IL-34, Irisin, and Visfatin in the development of insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: parallel study enrolled 60 non-diabetic control subjects and 60 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetics, matched for age, body mass index and sex ratio.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the role of extracellular part of insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAPe), IL-34, Irisin, and Visfatin in the development of insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: parallel study enrolled 60 non-diabetic control subjects and 60 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetics, matched for age, body mass index and sex ratio. Anthropometric parameters, blood glucose, fasting plasma insulin, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), IL34, Irisin, IRAPe, Visfatin and glycated hemoglobin were assessed.

Conclusion: IL-34 and Visfatin levels were significantly increased, while both Irisin and IRAPe levels were significantly decreased in patients with type 2 diabetes. Theses aforementioned parameters were significantly correlated with insulin resistance. These findings indicate that, IL-34, Irisin and IRAPe may play a vital role in T2DM and in diabetes associated insulin resistance. Additionally, the investigator's findings proposed that, IRAPe may be a useful and direct marker for detection of insulin resistance state.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sampleDiagnostic test

    Ten ml of venous blood was collected from all participants in the early morning after an overnight 12 hour fast by venipuncture of the antecubital vein into sterile tubes. Plasma and sera were separated immediately and were stored at -70 C until biochemical analyses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels

    were assayed using glucose oxidase method.

    Measured: three months

  2. Fasting plasma insulin (FPI)

    was assayed using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay kits i.e ELISA

    Measured: three months

  3. HOMA-IR index

    HOMA-IR index which is defined as fasting insulin (μIU/ml) times fasting glucose (mg/L) divided by 405 if fasting blood glucose is expressed in mass units (mg/dl).

    Measured: three months

  4. plasma IL-34

    human plasma IL-34 was assayed using sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique

    Measured: Three months

  5. serum visfatin

    serum visfatin concentrations enzyme- immunoassay kit

    Measured: Three Months

  6. IRAPe

    extracellular part of insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAPe) level was determined using sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique

    Measured: Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Damanhour University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 Jul 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

Fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels (time frame: three months). The study lists 6 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 NCT04107259, which also lists 3 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 29 Jul 2020.
