Overfeeding Induced Fat-tissue Stimulation (OVID_FASTI)

February 29, 2024 updated by: German Diabetes Center

Short-term High-fat Overnutrition Induces Insulin Resistance in White Adipose Tissue

Type 2 diabetes is the most common metabolic disease worldwide, characterized by hyperglycemia, decreased whole body insulin sensitivity, and white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction. A key factor in its development is chronic overnutrition, usually with a high-fat diet (HFD), leading to disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the mechanism of short-term HFD-induced tissue-specific insulin resistance remains poorly understood. This project aims to further unravel the underlying mechanisms of short-term HFD overnutrition-mediated WAT insulin resistance. The model described here corresponds to a randomized, single- blinded parallel-grouped trial, consisting of two interventions: a macronutrient-balanced diet and or a hypercaloric diet over three weeks in order to investigate differences in interorgan fatty acid and glucose metabolism between the studied groups. Based on recent studies, the hypothesis is that 21-day hypercaloric HFD induces WAT insulin resistance via a diacylglycerol, novel protein kinase C-insulin receptor signaling model in both fasting and insulin-stimulated states.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Whole-body insulin sensitivity and WAT insulin sensitivity
Time Frame: 3 weeks intervention period each
Hyperinsulinemica-euglycemia clamp tests with deuterated glucose to measure fasting and insulin-stimulated whole-body insulin sensitivity and measurement of the index ADIPO-IR (fasting insulin x free fatty acid concentration) before and after dietary intervention period.
3 weeks intervention period each

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
WAT insulin signaling pathways
Time Frame: 3 weeks intervention time
Adipose tissue biopsies are planned to be taken during the fasting and insulin-stimulated state before and after the dietary intervention period. DAG and ceramide subcellular fractionation assay is planned to be performed. Expressionanalyses for activation /membrane translocation of novel and atypical protein kinase C isoforms will be done. Determination of the degree of phosphorylation of various components of the insulin pathway via Western blot are planned.
