Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the existence of a day-night rhythm in skeletal muscle energy metabolism in prediabetic subjects. Subjects will stay at the research facility for 44 hours with a standardized living protocol during which several measurements of skeletal muscle and whole body energy metabolism will be performed.

Detailed Description

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

Recent evidence from both observational and experimental studies indicates that disobedience of a normal day-night rhythm negatively influences metabolic and cardiovascular health, possibly leading to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). An important hallmark of obesity and T2DM is a decreased skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Interestingly, recent research indicates that also skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is under the influence of a day-night rhythm. In this study, the presence of a day-night rhythm in skeletal muscle energy metabolism (in particular mitochondrial function) of overweight prediabetic participants will be investigated. During this study, subjects will stay at the research unit for 44 hours, with standardized meals and sleeping time. Five muscle biopsies (v. lateralis) and frequent blood draws will be taken. In addition, indirect calorimetry measurements will be performed.
