The Muscle Monitor: Early Skeletal Muscle Indicators of Insulin Resistance and Cardiometabolic Risk (MUSCLE MONITOR)
The Muscle Phenotype and Cardiometabolic Health Monitoring Project
Insulin resistance is an early etiological factor in the development of type-2 diabetes (T2D), which constitutes a large societal health burden with an expected additional rise in the years to come.
Skeletal muscle is the body's largest lean tissue mass and the major site of glucose disposal in response to insulin stimulation. Prior studies have suggested that a fast skeletal muscle phenotype, including a predominant fast muscle fiber composition, reduced capillary density, low fat oxidation and muscle oxidative capacity may be implicated in insulin resistance and TD2 development. However, key questions pertain in relation to the cause and effect of these relationships as well as the interaction with potential confounders and effect-modifiers including life-style factors (e.g. diet and physical activity levels) and general participant characteristics (e.g. body composition and training status).
In the present project, we therefore aim to derive muscle fiber type and extensively map the proteomic signature of the early stages of insulin resistance in a large cross-sectional study using a young and apparently healthy cohort prior to T2D development, including a thorough participant characterization. We will recruit ~250 participants (men and women) in the age of 20-30 years and conduct extensive phenotyping and tissue sampling across one laboratory-based test day and a scan visit, as well as measurements of physical activity level and glucose handling in free-living conditions with wearable sensors.
The study has a longitudinal aspect as participants will be re-invited at 5-year intervals for up to 20 years to delineate the trajectory of metabolic health in relation to muscle phenotype measures.
The results of the project are expected to lead to significant advancements in our understanding of the importance of muscle phenotype for early-stage insulin resistance and metabolic health trajectories. Such understanding has potentially important clinical implications, as it can open new avenues for targeted interventions and individualized early preventive strategies to counter or delay the progression of insulin resistance and associated metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.

상세 설명
The project is composed of 1) a screening visit to determine study eligibility, 2) a main test day in the lab, 3) 10 days of physical activity tracking and continuous glucose monitoring in free-living conditions and 4) a scan visit including a whole-body MRI scan and lower leg pQCT scan.
For the main lab visit the participants will arrive in the morning after an overnight fast. This visit includes measurements of anthropometrics, resting metabolic rate, resting heart rate + heart rate variability, arterial stiffness, intima media thickness, as well as blood pressure obtained in the supine position. In addition, a fasting blood sample will be obtained followed by a 2-h glucose tolerance test with concomitant questionnaires provided in writing on basic demographics, physical activity level, sleep, stress and mental health. Two thigh muscle biopsies and a subcutaneous adipose tissue fat sample from the abdominal region will be obtained, while maximal voluntary knee-extensor contraction torque and rate of force development will be measured. Lastly, cycling-based assessments of maximal fat oxidation rate, peak power and maximal oxygen uptake will be assessed using indirect calorimetry including capillary lactate samples.
The scan visit will consist of an MRI whole-body scan, soleus and gastrocnemius 1H-MRS and a pQCT bone scan of the lower limb at 4% and 66% of the total bone length.
The objective measurements of physical activity levels and glucose-handling capacity will be performed for 10 days in free-living conditions using feasibly worn sensors (continuous glucose monitor and thigh-worn accelerometer). During this time, a food dairy needs to be filled in during two week days and one weekend day to estimate the habitual food intake.
A standardized evening meal will be provided prior to the laboratory-based test day and a standardized lunch meal served during the testing day.
