Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Insulin secretion, as derived from insulin concentrations and glucose<br /><br>concentrations measured by hyperglycemic clamps following 4 week treatment with<br /><br>anakinra and placebo. In addition an oral glucose tolerance test will be<br /><br>performed.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The effect of a four week treatment with anakinra compared to placebo on<br /><br>insulin sensitivity.<br /><br><br /><br>Signs of inflammation following treatment with anakinra versus placebo,<br /><br>assessed by<br /><br>• Cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-18, hs CRP)<br /><br>• White blood count<br /><br>• Adipokines (leptin, adiponectin)<br /><br><br /><br>Local effects on fat tissue following treatment with both anakinra and placebo<br /><br>, assessed by<br /><br>• Fat cell size and morphology<br /><br>• Gene expression<br /><br>• Fat cell insulin sensitivity</p><br>
