Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Our objective in this study is to identify the extent to which insulin drives the accumulation of lipids in skeletal muscle of humans. We will test the hypothesis that 4-hours of mild hyperinsulinemia will result in significant muscle lipid accumulation and that such effects will be similar in lean and overweight/obese humans.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Metabolic Study Visit

Participants will complete a study visit for metabolic phenotyping and determination of the impact of hyperinsulinemia on outcomes of interest.

Other: Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic Clamp
Participants will be administered a constant-rate insulin infusion (to induce mild hyperinsulinemia), with an infusion of dextrose to maintain blood glucose concentration (to maintain euglycemia).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in skeletal muscle lipid content during hyperinsulinemia compared with basal resting conditions [Muscle samples will be collected in basal and hyperinsulinemic conditions separated by ~4.5 hours during the metabolic study visit]

    Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (targeted lipidomics) will be used to assess species-level changes in skeletal muscle lipid content in biopsy samples collected before and after the insulin infusion to induce mild hyperinsulinemia.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity during hyperinsulinemia compared with basal resting conditions [Muscle samples will be collected in basal and hyperinsulinemic conditions separated by ~4.5 hours during the metabolic study visit]

    High-resolution respirometry will be used to assess changes in skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity in biopsy samples collected before and after the insulin infusion to induce mild hyperinsulinemia.
