Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be required to attend the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, on two separate occasions, at 08:30h following an overnight fast (solids for 14 hours and liquids for 12 hours) and abstaining from smoking for 12 hours prior to the study day. The order of the study days will be randomized using the online Random Integer Set Generator program (RANDOM.ORG).
On each of the study days, subjects will be seated and have an intravenous cannula inserted into an antecubital vein in the arm for blood sampling and an automated blood pressure (BP) cuff (DINAMAP ProCare 100, GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI, USA) placed around the opposite arm for measurements of BP (systolic and diastolic) and heart rate (HR).
After a 15-minute rest period, subjects will consume a drink consisting of either 75g glucose and 150 mg of 13C-acetate made up to 300 ml with water, or 300 ml water, within 3 minutes (t = -3 - 0 minutes).
BP and HR will be measured at 3 minute intervals during the 30-minute rest period prior to the drink (i.e. t = -30 - 0 minutes) and at 3 minute intervals from t = 0 - 180 minutes.
Blood samples (~ 18ml) will be taken prior (t = -3 minutes) to the drink and then at t = 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes for the subsequent measurement of blood glucose, serum insulin and incretin hormones. Samples will be stored at -70°C until analysed. Blood glucose will be determined immediately using a portable glucometer (Medisense Companion 2 meter, Medisense Inc, Waltham, USA).
Following the 75g drink consisting of 75g glucose and 150 mg of 13C-acetate made up to 300 ml with water, at t = -3 minutes, and every 5 minutes between t = 0 - 60, followed by every 15 minutes between t = 60 - 180, breath samples will be collected in sealed tubes for subsequent analysis of 13CO2 for measurement of gastric emptying.
At t = -30 minutes and then at t = 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes, subjects will also undergo Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) for assessment of (i) end-systolic and diastolic volumes (ii) cardiac output (iii) cardiac contractility, as assessed by measuring
- left ventricular dP/dt and
- overall wall motion by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) of basal mitochondrial segments (iv) diastolic function, as assessed by measuring
a) mitral inflow velocities b) DTI of mitral annulus c) left atrial size and d) pulmonary vein flow patterns Prior to each measurement, subjects will be allowed to rest for 15 minutes, remaining still in a supine position.
At t = 180 the cannulae will be removed and subjects will be offered a light lunch before leaving the department. The total amount of blood collected during the two visits is ~180 ml.
On one of the study days after completion of these measurements autonomic nerve function will be assessed using standardised cardiovascular reflex tests. Parasympathetic function will be calculated by the variation (R - R interval) of the HR during deep breathing and the immediate HR response to standing ("30:15" ratio). Sympathetic function will be assessed by the fall in systolic BP in response to standing.
