Clinical Trial Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response in plasma norepinephrine concentration and plasma glycerol to the agonist (clonidine) and the antagonist (yohimbine) of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor in 6 patients with regional lipoatrophy and in 6 controls.

II. Determine the full sequence of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor structural gene in genomic DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes.


Clinical Trial Description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Antihypertensives are held, beginning 3 days before the first study day.

An oral challenge is administered as follows: clonidine on day 1, yohimbine on day 2. The order of administration is reversed in alternate subjects.

Timed measurements of norepinephrine, glycerol, and free fatty acids follow each challenge. Structural gene sequencing is evaluated for each participant. ;
