Molecular Mechanisms of Antipsychotic-induced Insulin Resistance

Early Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Adverse Effect of Other Antipsychotics and Neuroleptics
Insulin Resistance
Interventions
Drug: placebo
Registration Number
NCT02708394
Lead Sponsor
Wayne State University
Brief Summary

This study will investigate the molecular mechanisms of atypical-antipsychotic induced insulin resistance. This will be accomplished by administering olanzapine or placebo to healthy subjects for 7 days and analyzing genetic and protein changes in peripheral tissues known to play an important role in insulin resistance pathophysiology.
