Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to understand how and why insulin resistant individuals respond differently to exercise as compared with insulin sensitive individuals at the skeletal muscle and gene expression level.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to understand how and why insulin resistant individuals respond differently to exercise as compared with insulin sensitive individuals at the skeletal muscle and gene expression level. The study has four aims including testing if MZF1, NFKB1, RELA, SP1/KLF and EGRI expression responses are outside of the normal range in insulin resistant individuals and how insulin resistance changes the cell biosynthesis process/ post translational modifications. It also aims to define the response of MiRNAs in healthy and insulin resistant individuals and determine if treatment with Gemfibrozil inhibits transcription processes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lean Controls

Lean controls will have BMI of 25 or less, gender specific normal body fat, and not be taking any medication that affects glucose metabolism.

Interventions include OGTT, Clamp, VO2 Max, Exercise Test and Muscle Biopsy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pre-study dietary and exercise instruction.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All subjects will be instructed to continue their normal diet during the three days prior to study, to not consume alcohol the day before study, and to not engage in exercise for 48 hours before all studies.

Screening examination and oral glucose tolerance test

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

All subjects will have screening exam and OGTT at the Clinical Studies Infusion Unit at Mayo Clinic in Arizona at 7-8 am after having eaten nothing after 10 PM the night before, and have a screening examination and 75 g OGTT, as described

Euglycemic clamp

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

On a separate day, subjects will have a two-hour euglycemic clamp ((80 mU insulin/(m2.min)) at the Clinical Studies Unit at Mayo Clinic Arizona at 7-8 am after an overnight fast. A muscle biopsy will be taken before the insulin infusion, to serve as the resting biopsy (3). Biopsy specimens (150-300 mg) will be frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored in liquid nitrogen until they are processed

VO2max.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

VO2max.

Acute exercise bout

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The single acute exercise bout will be performed as described (3). It consists of 4 sets of 12 min each (8 min @ 70% VO2max, 2 min @ 90%, 2 min rest, repeat X 4). Biopsies are taken 30 min and 24 hr after end of exercise. Resting biopsies are taken on the glucose clamp day

Percutaneous needle muscle biopsies

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Skeletal muscle biopsies, blotted free from blood, are frozen within 30 seconds in liquid nitrogen, and stored in liquid nitrogen until processing. We routinely obtain 150-300 mg muscle (wet weight), which is more than sufficient for the analyses proposed, with some muscle remaining for any additional validation assays that may arise during the course of the research. Muscle will be processed either for isolation of mRNA/microRNA or protein, as described (2, 3, 12).

Obese, Non-diabetic

Obese nondiabetics will have a BMI between 30-50 and not be taking any medication that affects glucose metabolism.

Interventions include OGTT, Clamp, VO2 Max, Exercise Test and Muscle Biopsy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Muscle will be processed either for isolation of mRNA/microRNA or protein, as described (2, 3, 12).

Diabetic

Diabetic patients will have a BMI between 30-50. We will recruit patients with mild or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who are treated with diet, sulfonylureas, or other drugs working through enhanced insulin secretion. Patients taking metformin or TZDs will not be recruited due to the effects of those drugs on insulin action.

Non-diabetic

Patients will be nondiabetic, although we will include patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Patients will meet criteria for treatment with fibrates to lower plasma triglyceride concentrations (triglyceride\>300 mg/dl for nondiabetics, 250 mg/dl for patients with impaired glucose tolerance). We will aim at recruiting equal numbers of men and women. All participants will be between the ages of 30 and 59. Patients will have a BMI of 25-50 and not be taking any other medication that affects glucose metabolism. All participants will be sedentary (not reporting more than 10 minutes per day of light to vigorous leisure time physical activity.
