August 4, 2017 updated by: Filip Krag Knop, University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
The study aims to evaluate the effect of smoking on postprandial responses such as plasma glucose, secretion of gut - and pancreatic hormones and gastric emptying in healthy, heavy smoking men.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Epidemiological studies show that active smoking increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-dependent fashion. Smokers seem to be characterized by central obesity, increased inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, which may lead to insulin resistance and irregularities in glucose metabolism. The current study is a meal test study, in which the aim is to examine a number of variables during a liquid mixed meal test (including gastric emptying, glucose tolerance, gut and pancreatic hormone responses, gall bladder emptying, appetite and food intake) performed in healthy non-smoking subjects and in healthy smokers with or without concomitant cigarette smoking.

The investigators hypothesize that smoking-induced increases in circulating nicotine levels and simultaneous activation of nicotinic receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and in the autonomic nervous system would have detrimental effect on postprandial glucose metabolism and, thus, constitute an important link between smoking and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The current study will help to clarify this hypothesis and improve our general understanding of the association between smoking and gut hormone secretion, gastric emptying and glucose metabolism.

Experimental: Healthy, heavy smoking men
Twelve healthy, male subjects. Intervention: Will undergo two separate, identical test days. One absent smoking, and one with concomitant smoking.
Dietary supplement: Liquid mixed meal
The subjects will ingest a 400 ml chocolate drink, rich on carbohydrates, fat and lipids. In the following 4 hours, blood samples will be drawn from a PVC for the measurement of plasma glucose, gut- and pancreatic hormones, acetaminophen etc. After the 4 hours, the subjects will be offered an ad libitum meal.
