Dexamethasone/Pancreatic Clamp P&F
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled (crossover) clinical study designed to investigate the specific dose-response impact of insulin infusion rate (IIR) on blood glucose levels during a pancreatic clamp study in the setting of dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance. The investigators will recruit participants with a history of overweight/obesity but no history of prediabetes or diabetes. Participants will be rendered temporarily insulin resistant by taking seven doses of dexamethasone. They will then undergo two pancreatic clamp procedures in which individualized basal IIR are identified, followed in one by maintenance of basal IIR (maintenance hyperinsulinemia, MH) and in the other by a stepped decline in IIR (reduction toward euinsulinemia, RE). In both clamps the investigators will closely monitor plasma glucose and various metabolic parameters. The primary outcome will be the absolute and relative changes in steady-state plasma glucose levels at each stepped decline in IIR.

Detailed Description
Although high blood sugar and risk of heart disease are the most well-known health effects of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in which too much fat accumulates in the liver, has come to be recognized as another important complication. Unchecked, NAFLD can progress to severe liver inflammation, liver failure, and even liver cancer. The investigators suspect that high levels of the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin leads to excessive fat production by the liver, and so lowering insulin levels might help to improve NAFLD. In order to answer this question, the investigators will temporarily render volunteers insulin resistant -- that is, simulating the risk of T2DM and NAFLD -- using seven doses of dexamethasone. They will then perform a "pancreatic clamp" - a procedure in which the body's production of insulin is temporarily shut off and then replaced at the same or lower levels. Again, the investigators expect that lowering insulin levels will lower fat production. Because this is a new research approach, the investigators first need to understand how lowering insulin levels affects blood sugar. Research participants in this pilot study will therefore undergo two pancreatic clamps, each following seven doses of dexamethasone, in random order: one roughly maintaining their own internal ("basal") insulin level and one in which the investigators lower that basal insulin level by 10%, 25%, and 40%. In each case, the investigators will observe the absolute and relative changes in blood sugar and the levels of certain fats as the investigators change the insulin level. Once the investigators have found a lower insulin level that they can safely maintain, the investigators will go on to study its effect on fat production in a later study.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Maintenance hyperinsulinemia (MH) protocol The basal insulin infusion rate (IIR) necessary to maintain participants' mean basal fasting plasma glucose (mbFPG) will be determined during the basal titration period. Then, during the intervention period, the IIR will remain at 100% of basal for the full duration (225 min). The IIR and resulting insulin levels are expected to be relatively high (cf. hyperinsulinemia) because of dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance. |

| Experimental: Reduction toward euinsulinemia (RE) protocol The basal insulin infusion rate (IIR) necessary to maintain participants' mean basal fasting plasma glucose (mbFPG) will be determined during the basal titration period. Then, during the intervention period, the IIR will be reduced progressively, at 75-min intervals, to 90%, 75%, and 60% of basal IIR. Thus, the basal hyperinsulinemia expected due to underlying insulin resistance will be reduced toward euinsulinemia. |
