Study of the Role of PCSK9 and FXR in the Physiopathology of the Joint Dyslipidemia Associated to the Human Immunoresistance

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Interventions
Procedure: biopsy of muscle, of liver, and of adipose tissue
Procedure: clamp euglycemic - hyperglycemic
Behavioral: diet
Other: biopsies for biological and genetic analyses
Registration Number
NCT00422006
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

Experimental results are strongly suggesting that PCSK9 and FXR could occur in the physiopathology of human joined dyslipidemia. But no data in the literature can validate the potential role of these two genes in the lipidic and glucidic metabolism control in physiopathological situations. This protocol is based on the hypothesis that the expression levels of PCSK 9 and FXR are modified for some patients suffering from insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.
