简要总结
The purpose of this study is to use a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study design to comprehensively investigate the impact of 8-weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation on skeletal muscle blood flow, mitochondrial function, and exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
详细描述
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) demonstrate a reduced exercise capacity, a powerful predictor of cardiovascular mortality, which may be due to reductions in skeletal muscle perfusion and mitochondrial dysfunction. Nitric oxide (NO) is a key molecule involved in in the regulation of blood flow to contracting muscles, as well as a critical mediator in mitochondrial respiration. However, there appears to be a decreased enzymatic synthesis of NO and an overall reduction of bioavailable NO in patients with T2D, which likely contributes to the reduced exercise capacity and tolerance. Accumulating evidence suggests that exogenous nitrate supplementation is an effective option for increasing NO bioavailability in vivo. The purpose of the proposal is to use a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study design to comprehensively investigate the impact of 8-weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation on skeletal muscle blood flow, mitochondrial function, and exercise capacity in patients with T2D. The central hypothesis is that increasing NO bioavailability via dietary nitrate supplementation in patients with T2D will lead to improved oxygen delivery and utilization during exercise. To address this hypothesis a highly mechanistic and translational experimental strategy will be used to explore whether increased NO bioavailability via dietary nitrate supplementation improves skeletal muscle perfusion during exercise (Aim 1), enhances mitochondrial biogenesis and function (Aim 2), and improves exercise capacity and efficiency (Aim 3). Collectively, these studies will provide important mechanistic insight into the therapeutic potential of dietary nitrate supplementation for improving skeletal muscle blood flow, mitochondrial function and exercise capacity in patients with T2D.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Function
时间窗: Pre and post 8 weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation
Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis using a Bergstrom needle with suction under local anesthesia, which will yield \~200-250mg of tissue. Mitochondrial function was assessed as follows: Fiber bundles were chemically permeabilized with saponin and mitochondrial respiration was analyzed by in situ high-resolution respirometry at 37°.
Maximal Exercise Capacity (VO2max)
时间窗: Pre and post 8 weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation
A 12-lead ECG, symptom limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing with gas exchange measurements will be performed on a cycle ergometer using a ramp protocol to determine maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and exercise efficiency.
Change in Skeletal Muscle Perfusion During Exercise
时间窗: Pre and post 8 weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation
Forearm blood flow will be determined using Doppler ultrasound during rhythmic forearm exercise.
