Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

GLP-1 increases skeletal and cardiac microvascular perfusion and improves insulin's microvascular responses in human subjects with T1DM, leading to improved metabolic insulin responses, endothelial function, and increased muscle oxygenation

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

The proposed study will determine the effect of GLP-1 infusion on microvascular perfusion and microvascular insulin responses in both skeletal and cardiac muscle microvasculature in humans with T1DM. The investigators will study 20 participants with T1DM using a state-of-the-art technology, contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU), to assess whether GLP-1 augments skeletal and cardiac microvascular blood flow (MBF) as a representation of microvascular perfusion, flow-mediated dilation (FMD) as a measurement of endothelial function, and augmentation index (AI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) as surrogates for large vessel compliance. The investigators will use the combined CEU and euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp approach to determine if microvascular and metabolic IR improves as a result.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: GLP-1

GLP-1 infusion 1.2 pmol/kg/min for 150 min

Drug: GLP-1
glucagon-like peptide 1

Active Comparator: GLP-1 + Insulin clamp

GLP-1 infusion 1.2 pmol/kg/min for 150 min and insulin 1 mU/kg/min + Dextrose 20% at variable rate to maintain euglycemia for 120 min

Drug: GLP-1
glucagon-like peptide 1

Drug: Insulin
we are using to replace basal insulin and to raise insulin concentrations during the insulin clamp

Drug: Dextrose 20 % in Water
We are using Dextrose to maintain Euglycemia during the insulin clamp

Active Comparator: Saline + Insulin clamp

Saline infusion at 30 ml/hr for 150 min and insulin 1 mU/kg/min + Dextrose 20% at variable rate to maintain euglycemia for 120 min.

Drug: Insulin
we are using to replace basal insulin and to raise insulin concentrations during the insulin clamp

Drug: Dextrose 20 % in Water
We are using Dextrose to maintain Euglycemia during the insulin clamp
