Trial summary

Low volume sprint exercise training has been shown to reduce body fat despite small total energy expenditure (for ref see Gillen and Gibala 2014). IL-6 has been shown to increase adipose tissue lipolysis in vitro. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Metabolism in Adipose Tissue Followed Following Sprint Exercise

Low volume sprint exercise training has been shown to reduce body fat despite small total energy expenditure (for ref see Gillen and Gibala 2014). IL-6 has been shown to increase adipose tissue lipolysis in vitro. Therefore, in an initial study on effects of sprint exercise on adipose tissue metabolism the investigators will examine acute short-term exercise effects on adipose tissue IL-6 exchange.

Read the detailed description

PURPOSE: Low volume sprint exercise training has been shown to reduce body fat despite small total energy expenditure (for ref see Gillen and Gibala 2014). IL-6 has been shown to increase adipose tissue lipolysis in vitro. Therefore, in an initial study on effects of sprint exercise on adipose tissue metabolism the investigators examined acute short-term effects on adipose tissue IL-6 exchange.

METHODS: Four female and four male subjects perform repeated sprint exercise (3 x 30s with 20 min rest between; Wingate-test). Blood samples are repeatedly obtained, up to 120 min after the last sprint (9 min post ex), from catheters inserted percutaneously into brachial artery and a superficial subcutaneous vein on the anterior abdominal wall providing access to the venous drainage from the subcutaneous adipose tissue and analyzed for IL-6 by ELISA and lactate by spectrophotometry. Fat biopsies from the stomach will be obtained before, 15 min and 120 min after the last sprint. Blood flow will be determined by administration of Xenon-133 in the adipose tissue of the stomach. The release rate of Xenon-133 will be registrated continuously during the total investigation.

SUPPORT: This study is supported by grants from the Swedish National Center for Research in Sports

What is being measured

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

  1. Il-6 secretion in adipose tissue before and after 30-s repeated sprint exercise

    Stomach fat biopsies and arterial and stomach vein blood are obtained

    Measured: Before 30-s repeated sprint exercise

  2. Il-6 secretion in adipose tissue before and after 30-s repeated sprint exercise

    Stomach fat biopsies and arterial and stomach vein blood are obtained

    Measured: After 30-s repeated sprint exercise

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in blood flow in adipose tissue

    Xenon-133 is administered by a subcutaneous injection into the abdominal adipose tissue of approximately 1-2 MBq of Xenon-133 in the form of gas, at rest before work.

    Measured: Before 30-s repeated sprint exercise

  2. Changes in blood flow in adipose tissue

    The rinsing rate of Xenon-133 from the tissue depot is continuously recorded during the study period by a non-invasive method using a portable scintillation detector system (Mediscint) up to 60 minutes after the last sprint work.

    Measured: After 30-s repeated sprint exercise

  3. Changes in different metabolites

    Analysed for lactate, ammonia and IL-6

    Measured: Before 30-s repeated sprint exercise

  4. Changes in different metabolites

    Analysed for lactate, ammonia and IL-6

    Measured: After 30-s repeated sprint exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Repeated 30-s sprint exercise in people with Metabolism in Adipose Tissue, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 2 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 28 Sep 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 Sweden. 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?

Il-6 secretion in adipose tissue before and after 30-s repeated sprint exercise (time frame: Before 30-s repeated sprint exercise). 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?
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 28 Sep 2020.
