Molecular Mechanisms of Antipsychotic-induced Insulin Resistance
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in DNA methylation [Baseline (day 1) to endpoint of intervention (day 7)]
Change in peripheral tissue candidate gene methylation will be measured in the olanzapine intervention group compared to placebo
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in protein levels [Baseline (day 1) to endpoint of intervention (day 7)]
Change in peripheral tissue candidate protein levels will be measured in the olanzapine intervention group compared to placebo
- Change in protein activity [Baseline (day 1) to endpoint of intervention (day 7)]
Change in peripheral tissue candidate protein phosphorylation will be measured in the olanzapine intervention group compared to placebo
