ADAM17 and Vascular Function in Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this project is to determine the extent to which administration of the dietary supplement phosphatidylserine (PS), a competitive inhibitor of ADAM17 sheddase activity, improves vascular function and insulin-stimulated leg blood flow in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Detailed Description
As part of a randomized, double-blinded crossover design, each of the 34 subjects will complete 4 weeks of supplementation with 400mg of PS and 4 weeks of placebo. Subjects will have a 4-week washout period between regimens. Assessment visits (2) will occur after each of the 4-week dosing schemes and include: Vitals, DEXA scan for body composition, fasting blood work, brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), skeletal muscle biopsy, glycocalyx integrity assessment via Glycocheck, and 1-hour insulin clamp procedure with blood flow measurements.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Insulin-stimulated blood flow [week 4 and week 12]
Measure of blood flow during insulin clamp. Leg blood flow measures will be performed non-invasively via Ultrasound.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Vascular function [week 4 and week 12]
Flow mediated dilation (FMD) in arm. Brachial artery FMD measures will be performed non-invasively via Ultrasound.
