October 6, 2008 updated by: Centre de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine Rhone-Alpe

Effect of Metformin on Lactate Metabolism in Healthy Subjects

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism.

The main outcome is the lactate production following an exogenous lactate overload in healthy male subjects without metformin and one week later with metformin.

Detailed Description

Study design: Physiological study, controlled, open, non randomised

Healthy male subjects, 18 to 30 years old

Principal objective : To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (production) following exogenous lactate overload.

  • Objective 2: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (production) after muscular exercise.
  • Objective 3: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (elimination) after exogenous lactate overload.
  • Objective 4: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (elimination) after muscular exercise.

Principal outcome : Lactate production following exogenous lactate overload.

  • Outcome 2: Production of lactate following muscular exercise test.
  • Outcome 3 and 3': Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following exogenous lactate overload (bi-exponential model).
  • Outcome 4 and 4': Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following muscular exercise test (bi-exponential model).
