Acute Cardiovascular and Metabolic Effects of Exercise Training in Individuals With Insulin Resistance

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Insulin Resistance
Interventions
Behavioral: Exercise
Registration Number
NCT00954109
Lead Sponsor
US Department of Veterans Affairs
Brief Summary

The overall aim of the project is to determine whether or not exercise influences cardiovascular or nervous responses to meal ingestion in individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Participants will undergo a screening procedure, including telephone screening and physical examination, as well as determination of body composition and fitness. Participants will be asked to complete 5-10 days of supervised exercise training and will undergo testing to assess cardiovascular and metabolic responses to an oral glucose tolerance test, including muscle sympathetic nerve activity, blood flow, and circulating glucose and insulin concentrations at baseline and following training. In addition, day-to-day variations in blood glucose will also be monitored. The overall aim of the project is to determine whether or not acute exercise training influences postprandial metabolic, vascular or autonomic nervous system responses in individuals with insulin resistance or T2D.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin Sensitivity After 5-7 Days of Exercisebaseline and 24h after 5-7 days of exercise

Insulin sensitivity measured during an oral glucose tolerance test measured by the Matsuda Index. Matsuda insulin sensitivity index= 10000/square root of \[(fasting glucose × fasting insulin) × (mean glucose × mean insulin during oral glucose tolerance test).

Blood Flow in Response to Oral Glucose Tolerance Testspre and 24 hours post 5-7 days of exercise

Blood flow response in the femoral artery measured by Doppler ultrasound during and oral glucose tolerance test. Data are represented as % change in blood flow during the oral glucose tolerance at 60 minutes vs. 0 minutes (prior to drinking the glucose)
