Exercise and Intranasal Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes

2026年6月26日 更新者:Steven K Malin, PhD、Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Effects of Intranasal Insulin Plus Exercise Training on Brain Blood Flow, Neuronal Insulin Signaling, and Cognition in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

About 6.5 million adults in the United States who are 65 or older have dementia.

While the exact cause of dementia is not known, it may be due to changes in the brain. Further, risk may be higher when the brain does not respond to insulin. Indeed, brain insulin resistance has emerged as a pathologic factor affecting memory, executive function as well as systemic glucose control. Regular aerobic exercise may help reduce the risk of dementia by increased blood flow to the brain and help the brain respond better to insulin. In addition, giving insulin through a nose spray (called intranasal insulin) may also help with thinking and memory. However, it is unknown if using both exercise and intranasal insulin is best for the brain.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

This goal of this study is to find out if exercise plus an insulin nose spray works better than exercise alone for brain blood flow in older adults with Type 2 Diabetes. This study will also look at how the brain uses insulin and thinking skills. Individuals will be randomized to one of two groups. One group will exercise and use an insulin nose spray. The other group will exercise and use a saline (placebo) nose spray. Exercise training will be supervised and consist of walking or light jogging 3 times per week for 16 weeks. Brain imaging, cognition, and blood tests will be conducted before and after the intervention. Other measures include fitness tests and body composition scans.

  • Major psychiatric disorders (e.g. psychosis, bipolar disorder, major depression, alcohol/substance abuse)
  • History of head trauma or loss of consciousness in last 5 years.

Surgical pins or plates below the neck are exclusions, except when the material is fixed to bone, and considered acceptable by the Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety. Implants and Devices, 2020 Edition. Almost all recent orthopedic implants are made of materials that are not ferromagnetic and therefore are safe for scanning, and even though some screws are still made of ferromagnetic materials these are firmly screwed into bone. In cases where the material is unknown or deemed unsafe for scanning by the Reference Manual for Magnetic Resonance Safety. Implants and Devices the participant will be excluded.

介入・治療
プラセボコンパレーター:HiEx with Intranasal Placebo
Saline will be administered twice daily (20 seconds in each nostril) using the Kurve Technology intranasal insulin device.
High intensity exercise will consist of 16 weeks of walking at ~85% of each participant's predetermined VO2max and monitored via heart rate. Supervised exercised will occur on a treadmill 3d/wk. The duration of each exercise session will be adjusted based on fitness level so that ~300 kcal will be expended per training session during weeks 1-2, 350 kcal per training session during weeks 3-4, and 400 kcal per training session during weeks 5-16. This usually equals ~60 minutes per session but can vary from person to person. Each session will start with a 5-minute warm-up and end with a 5-minute cool down. During each exercise session, individuals will wear a heart rate monitor rating of perceived exertion will be recorded.

Dosage will be 20 IU of INI twice per day (40 IU in total/day). The study will use the Kurve Technology intranasal device, which delivers a 20 second stream of insulin through a nose piece into a nostril, after which the device switches off. The process will then be repeated in the other nostril.

時間枠
Cerebrovascular Insulin Sensitivity
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks

People will undergo a motion corrected diffusion weighted gradient-and spin echo pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (pCASL) sequence with 5 post labelling delays. This provides 3.5 mm3 resolution for whole brain coverage for CBF. CBF will be determined via the hippocampus.

Participants will then be administrated INI at a dose of 40 IU of human insulin (0.4 ml, Humulin, Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, IN). Single puffs of 0.1ml will occur 4 times (twice each nostril) over 2 minutes via the VianaseTM electronic atomizers (Kurve Technology Inc., Lynnwood, WA). After 30 minutes, scanning will be repeated to determine CBF changes to indicate brain insulin sensitivity. Brain insulin sensitivity will be defined as the change from fasting to INI (e.g. CBFINI - CBFfast).

Blood Brain Barrier Integrity
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks

People will undergo a motion corrected diffusion weighted gradient-and spin echo pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (pCASL) sequence with 5 post labelling delays. This provides 3.5 mm3 resolution for whole brain coverage for BBB water exchange (Kw). Kw will serve as primary index of BBB integrity.

Participants will then be administrated INI at a dose of 40 IU of human insulin (0.4 ml, Humulin, Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, IN). Single puffs of 0.1ml will occur 4 times (twice each nostril) over 2 minutes via the VianaseTM electronic atomizers (Kurve Technology Inc., Lynnwood, WA). After 30 minutes, scanning will be repeated to determine BBB changes from fasting to INI (e.g. KwINI - Kwfast).

Insulin Signaling Proteins
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks

Insulin signaling proteins pIRS-1Ser636 and pAktSer473, derived from neuronal extracellular vesicles (nEVs) will be measured before and 30 minutes after intranasal insulin (e.g. nEVsINI - nEVsfast).

nEVs will be isolated from plasma samples through a 2-step method: 1) isolating total plasma nEVs via Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) and selective immunocapture targeting three neuronal-specific epitopes on intact EVs (L1CAM, NLGN3, and GAP43). Isolated nEVs concentration and size distribution will be assessed by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). nEV concentration will be used to normalize protein biomarker values to account for differential recovery.

Augmentation Index
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Brachial artery augmentation index (AIx75) will be tested in the semi-supine position using the SphygmoCor device to depict arterial stiffness before and after INI (e.g. AIx75INI - AIx75fast).
Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
A 120 minute 75g OGTT will be used to depict insulin sensitivity.
Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Cognitive Function
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Cognitive function will be assessed via the NIH toolbox. The NIH toolbox is an iPad application that consists of cognitive, emotional, motor, and sensory function assessments. Specific measurements will include: Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test, List Sorting Working Memory Test, Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test, and Picture Sequence Memory Test.
Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Pulse Wave Velocity
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) will be tested in the semi-supine position using the SphygmoCor device to depict arterial stiffness before and after INI (i.e. PWV-INI - PWV-fast).
Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
Insulin Secretion
時間枠:Change from baseline to the end of the intervention at 16 weeks
A 120 minute 75g OGTT will be used to depict insulin secretion. Using the oral c-peptide minimal model (OMM), an estimate of 3 insulin secretion patterns will be be obtained: 1) one that is proportional to glucose rate change (i.e. early phase); 2) another proportional to plasma glucose above a threshold after a delay (i.e. late phase); and 3) total responsivity index, (total phase).
