GLUCOSTRESS: Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in the Pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress pathway is activated in peripheral tissues (adipose tissue) in insulin resistant diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects normoglycemic matched for age and sex an to investigate whether ER stress pathway can be activated in response to insulin. Indeed, some preliminar on rates studies shows that ER stress pathway is activated by insulin in liver and adipose tissue showing that hyperinsulinemia might help trigger stress path ER.
For this, we propose a case control study of type 2 diabetic patients vs control subjects in which markers of ER stress will be evaluated from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue obtained before and after euglycemic hyperinsulinemic. We chose to consider adipose tissue subcutaneous rather than visceral adipose tissue for obvious reasons of lesser invasiveness.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| control control subjects with : Nondiabetic subjects (blood glucose <7.0 mmol/l without hypoglycemic treatment). The control subjects should be matched to patients for age (± 5 years), sex, and BMI (± 2 kg/m2). |
Other: No intervention
