Obesity-Related Glycine Deficiency: Investigating a Long-standing Metabolic Paradox Using Bedside and Bench Approaches

Start date: December 8, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Obesity, in addition to causing abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, is also associated with altered plasma concentrations of multiple amino acids, including increased levels of branched-chain amino acids and decreased levels of glycine. The mechanisms and consequences of obesity- related glycine deficiency are unknown. The overall aim of this project is to comprehensively study glycine metabolic pathways in morbid obesity using stable-isotope tracer techniques in human subjects and validating kinetic findings using a cell model of oxidative stress. This will be a single-centre, observational study. 21 individuals with morbid obesity scheduled for bariatric surgery and 21 non-obese controls will be recruit. They will undergo different study visits and procedures and the human biological materials collected will be analysed for as per aims of the studies. We believe that the glycine metabolic pathways, possibly through the optimization of gluthathione (GSH) synthesis, may provide targets to develop novel therapeutic agents.

NCT ID: NCT04651842 Completed - Clinical trials for Insulin Resistance and PCI

Impact of Acute Insulin Resistance on Myocardial Blush in Non- Diabetic Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Start date: May 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Full myocardial reperfusion with restoration of coronary microcirculatory function (CMF) is a therapeutic goal in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 Despite the success of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), it is not achieved in 30% to 50% of patients.2,3 Insulin resistance (IR) as a part of metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor for the development of cardiac and vascular impairments and carries ominous prognosis in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.4 As a part of metabolic syndrome, IR is associated with myocardial and microvascular injury after STEMI in clinical studies. As phenomenon per se, independent of other components of metabolic syndrome, IR was related to ischemic myocardial injury after elective PCI.5 Recently, IR in the early phase of acute coronary syndrome in non-diabetic patients, assessed by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, was established as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. This "acute" IR is a part of the acute glycometabolic response to stress, can be transient and can occur even in patients without chronic glycometabolic derangements.6 Acute IR comprises acute hyperglycemia and/or acute hyperinsulinemia; Hyperglycemia has the prognostic relevance of hyperinsulinemia in STEMI patients and its relationship with coronary flow are less well evaluated.it also acknowledged direct acute negative cardiovascular effects as it is contributing to incomplete myocardial reperfusion and CMF impairment. The prognostic relevance of hyperinsulinemia in STEMI patients and its relationship with coronary flow are less well evaluated and acknowledged.7,8 Myocardial blush was first defined by Arnoud van't Hof etal . It is a qualitative visual assessment of the amount of contrast medium filling a territory supplied by a pericardial coronary artery.9 Myocardial blush grade is a valuable tool for assessing coronary microvasculature and myocardial perfusion in patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty. Reduced myocardial blush grade identifies patients at higher risk who need more aggressive treatment both during the procedure to improve myocardial perfusion and later for secondary prevention.10 We postulate that IR can occur in the early post pPCI period as a dynamic phenomenon even in non-diabetic patients, and be related to the development of microvascular injury. We have defined myocardial blush as a marker of coronary microvascular function, Accordingly, we have evaluated IR in relation to myocardial blush in non-diabetic STEMI patients treated by pPCI. as a primary end-point. The residual ST-segment elevation, post-TFC%; and MACE were secondary end points. The HOMA index is a simple and inexpensive marker of IR primary used in chronic states. It was recently validated against euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp in STEMI patients as feasible for assessing IR during myocardial infarction and therefore used in the current study.11

NCT ID: NCT04642482 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Synbiotic Therapy on Intestinal Microbiota and Insulin Resistance in Obesity

Start date: September 24, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Background : There is a plausible relationship between microbial gut and insulin resistance. Intervention to prevent insulin resistance by modifying the microbial gut has been proposed but limited studies demonstrates the expected impact. One of the possible way to manipulate the microbial gut is the administration of synbiotic (prebiotic and probiotic). Objective : This study aim to address the impact of synbiotic administration to the microbial gut and insulin resistance. Brief Methodology : A Quasi Experimental study with multiple arms is conducted to healthy participants. All subjects will undergo a microbial gut taxonomic analysis using faecal sample and blood examination to determine the insulin resistance status (using Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance/HOMA-IR approach). Synbiotic will be given to intervention arm and active comparator will use maltodextrin. Repeated measurement will be conducted after 8 weeks and 12 weeks from the day of administration. Hypothesis : A superiority trial hypothesis is applied, assuming that the synbiotic group will demonstrates higher variety of microbial gut and lower HOMA-IR level

NCT ID: NCT04640324 Completed - Insulin Resistance Clinical Trials

Effect of PNPLA3, TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 Genetic Variants on Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Therapeutic Outcome.

Start date: January 16, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein-3 (PNPLA3), the transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 protein (TM6SF2) and membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7) genes are involved in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development and worsening. Following the actual scientific knowledge, some studies have identified the genetic background surrounding NAFLD, counting up to forty different genetic variants that seem to exert also a crucial role in the disease evolution, according to the natural history, until hepatocellular carcinoma onset. However, few data exist regarding their influence on the treatment response. The aim was to explore the effect of 303 mg of silybin-phospholipids complex, 10 mg of vitamin-D and 15 mg of vitamin-E twice a day for six months in NAFLD patients carrying PNPLA3-rs738409, TM6SF2-rs58542926 and MBOAT7-rs641738 genetic variants. The assessed mutations are independently associated with no response to a silybin/vitamin D-based therapy and could be useful therapeutic predictive markers in this context.

NCT ID: NCT04616404 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

The Metabolic Effects of Cynara Supplementation in Overweight and Obese Class I Subjects With Newly Detected Impaired Fasting Glycaemia.

Start date: July 26, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a condition that precedes diabetes and increases the risk of developing it. Studies support the hypoglycemic effect of Cynara cardunculus (Cs) extracts due to the content of chlorogenic acid, which is a potent inhibitor of glucose 6-phosphate translocase and of dicaffeoylquinic acid derivatives that modulate the activity of alpha-glucosidase. Given this background, we investigated whether a new highly standardized Cs extract could improve glycaemic control, insulin sensitivity and other metabolic parameters (total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, Triglycerides, ApoB, ApoA, waist circumference, Visceral adipose tissue by DXA) in overweight subjects with newly diagnosed IFG.

Insulin Regulated Amino Peptidase in Patients With Familial Lipodystrophy of DUNNIGAN

IRAP-DUN
Start date: March 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Familial Partial Lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) is a heterogeneous group of rare lipodystrophy due to autosomal dominant mutation in LMNA encoding Lamin A/C. Lamins A and C form with the B-type lamins the lamina network underlying the nuclear envelope. Lamins are major components that provide structural and mechanical stability for the nucleus ubiquitously. Lamins are also key epigenetic regulator. Mutations in LMNA are involved in different inherited pathologies as Emery-Dreifuss muscular Dystrophy, Limb Girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction system disease, Charcot Marie Tooth Disorder type 2, mandibuloacral dysplasia, Hutchinson Gilford progeria and Dunnigan-type-familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD2). Inherited lipodystrophy prevalence is reported around 1.3 to 10 cases per million worldwide and FPLD2 is the most frequent of all. Nevertheless, recent reports with systematic screening in all non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome found higher prevalence of lipodystrophy up to 1/7000 subjects. FPLD2 remain a rare group of disease and only relatively small and heterogeneous cohorts of patients are reported. For this reason it is difficult to fully decipher all aspects of this rare group of diseases. The "typical" FPLD2 is associated with missense mutation affecting the arginin residue in position 482 (p.R482Q,p.R482W,p.R482L). Patients harbouring mutation in other spot are considered to have "atypical" lipodystrophy. The "typical" FPLD2 start around puberty with progressive subcutaneous fat loss in upper limbs, gluteo-femoral adipose tissue and trunk and fat accumulation in the cervicofacial area, neck, upper trunk, labia majora and visceral fat. Resulting from the inability to store fat, patients affected by inherited lipodystrophy develop severe metabolic syndrome and its complications: type 2 diabetes (DT2), dyslipidaemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). In 2006 a specific mutation of LMNA has been described in a patient originated from La Réunion living in France mainland. To date this mutation have only been reported in patient native from La Réunion and is called 'Reunionese' mutation and consist in a G insertion after nucleotide 5670 (codon 654) in the prelamin-A-specific exon 11 (g.5670_5671insG) p.T655fsX49 that lead to a longer and non farnelysated prelamin A lacking the C-terminal CSIM motif. As a result, nonfarnelysated mutated prelamin A accumulated in the cells leading to oxidative stress and premature cell senescence. The 'Reunionese' mutation is expressed in 2 forms either homozygous or heterozygous. Homozygous patients present with more severe phenotype and cardiac laminopathy. The aim of our study is to update the characterization of the patients diagnosed with the 'Reunionese' mutation. The investigators report here the largest cohort of patient with FPLD2 due to one single LMNA mutation either homozygous or heterozygous.
