Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Obese nondiabetic insulin resistant subjects- Panel A

IV nesiritide 3 pmol/kg/min or placebo for nesiritide

Drug: Continous IV infusion of Nesiritide
Nesiritide (fhBNP) administered by continuous IV infusion during 48 hours.

Drug: Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp
48 hours IV infusion of nesiritide on insulin sensitivity (IS) measured by two-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in obese nondiabetic insulin resistant subjects.

Drug: Placebo
48 hours of placebo.

Active Comparator: Obese nondiabetic insulin resistant subjects- Panel B

IV nesiritide 2 pmol/kg/min or placebo for nesiritide

Drug: Continous IV infusion of Nesiritide
Nesiritide (fhBNP) administered by continuous IV infusion during 48 hours.

Drug: Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp
48 hours IV infusion of nesiritide on insulin sensitivity (IS) measured by two-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in obese nondiabetic insulin resistant subjects.

Drug: Placebo
48 hours of placebo.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. IV infusion of nesiritide at a 3pmol/kg rate [48 hours]

    Average changes in glucose disposal rates (GDR) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) from baseline corrected for body weight at steady state of the clamp during the high- and low-dose portions.
