A Pathophysiological Study of the Postprandial Human Liver (PLS)

Recruiting
Conditions
Fatty Liver
Cirrhosis
Registration Number
NCT03849235
Lead Sponsor
Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre
Brief Summary

Fatty liver disease is a globally widespread disease The identification of valid biomarkers and targets for potential treatments requires in-depth knowledge about the pathophysiology of the postprandial liver. The study will consist of five work packages (WP) including blood tests and liver biopsies taken after fasting or ingestion of a standardized meal in: healthy controls (WP 1), patients with NAFLD (WP 2), and patients with cirrhosis (WP 3) ; before and after a standardised meal in healthy controls (WP 4), and before and after glucagon in healthy controls (WP5)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postprandial phosphoproteomic changes in liver tissue in healthy individuals60 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Phosphorproteomic changes will be performed using MS-based approach that allows identification of phosphorylations sites at proteins in the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and 'postprandial' samples

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postprandial proteomic, metabolomic and Peptidomic changes in blood obtained from liver vein and peripheral vein in healthy individuals and compared to patients with cirrhosis and patients with NAFLD120 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Proteomic, metabolomic and hormonal changes will be performed using MS-based approaches and ELISAs that allows identification and measurements of proteins, metabolites and hormones from the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and 'postprandial' samples

Effect of exogenous glucagon on changes in phosphoproteomics, proteomics, metabolomics and peptidomic in blood obtained from liver vein and peripheral vein in healthy individuals120 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Proteomic, metabolomic and hormonal changes will be performed using MS-based approaches and ELISAs that allows identification and measurements of proteins, metabolites and hormones from the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and samples obtained after glucagon injection

Postprandial phosphoproteomic changes in liver tissue between healthy participants and patients with cirrhosis or patients with NAFLD.60 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Phosphorproteomic changes will be performed using MS-based approach that allows identification of phosphorylations sites at proteins in the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and 'postprandial' samples

Postprandial proteomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic changes in liver tissue in healthy individuals and compared to patients with cirrhosis and patients with NAFLD60 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Proteomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic changes will be performed using MS-based approaches and Next generation sequencing that allows identification of proteins, metabolites, RNA-transcripts in the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and 'postprandial' samples

Effect of exogenous glucagon on changes in liver phosphoproteomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics in healthy individuals.30 minutes after the meal administered at the study day

Proteomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic changes will be performed using MS-based approaches and Next generation sequencing that allows identification of proteins, metabolites, RNA-transcripts in the liver. The comparison will be done between 'fasted' and samples obtained after glucagon injection
