Brain Natriuretic Peptide Effects on Appetite Regulating Hormones and Endothelial Derived Peptides (BNP/Appetite)
Effects of Brain Natriuretic Peptide on Appetite-regulating Hormones and Endothelial-derived Peptides
Study Overview
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, single blinded randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, which will be conducted in ten healthy volunteers.
Each subject will participate in two study days/sessions, separated by a washout period of at least two weeks. The sessions will last approximately 4.5 hours. The subjects will come after having fasted overnight. Two intravenous cannulas will be placed in the right and left antecubital vein for infusions and blood sampling, respectively.
The subjects will receive intravenously once placebo and once 3.0 pmol/kg/min human active BNP (BNP-32) as a continuous intravenous infusion given during 4 hours (between time points 0 and 240 minutes). The order of study drugs will be randomized.
During the whole study session (lasting about 4.5 hours) the subject will remain fasted and confined to bed rest.
The changes in subjective ratings of hunger and satiety over time will be evaluated by 100 mm visual analog scales (VAS) half-hourly (between time points 0 and 240 minutes). Herewith the subjects rate their feeling of hunger (Hunger-VAS forms include the question: How hungry do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of hunger in a scale from 0 to 100 mm) and satiety (Satiety-VAS forms include the question: How satt do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of hunger in a scale from 0 to 100 mm).
Blood samples will be withdrawn twice at baseline (time points -5 minutes and 0 minutes) and hourly afterwards. Samples will be immediately cooled on ice, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -20°C for the later measurement of ghrelin, peptide YY, adiponectin, corticotropin, cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, insulin, adrenomedullin, endothelin, copeptin, growth differentiation factor 15, BNP and atrial natriuretic peptide. All assays will be performed using commercial radioimmunoassays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays at the very end of the study with samples belonging to (both study days) one subject being measured within one kit.
The changes in VAS and hormone concentrations over time will be evaluated using repeated measurements analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the SPSS release 12.0.1 statistical software.
