Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aldosterone and the Metabolic Syndrome (NCT NCT01103245)

NCT ID: NCT01103245

Last Updated: 2018-11-05

Results Overview

A Hyperglycemic clamp was performed once during each study period to assess glucose stimulated insulin secretion. Glucose is infused intravenously to maintain blood glucose near 200 mg/dL to stimulate insulin secretion. During this time plasma insulin levels were measured and the insulin response is reported as the incremental increase over the first 10 minutes of glucose administration.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at the end of each 1 month study period ( 3 times in total)

Population: 2 participants were excluded from the final analysis because they did not complete any of the Hyperglycemic clamps:1 from the HCTZ plus ALI150 then ALI 300 group and 1 participant from the HCTZ plus SPL 25 then ALI 150 and SPL 25 group.

A Hyperglycemic clamp was performed once during each study period to assess glucose stimulated insulin secretion. Glucose is infused intravenously to maintain blood glucose near 200 mg/dL to stimulate insulin secretion.
