Brief Summary

Aim: Evaluate the regulation of muscle derived Interleukin-6 (IL-6)during exercise and in particular whether it is regulated by the Interleukin-1 (IL-1) system. Rationale: It has been shown that IL-1 antagonism improves glycemia and insulin secretion in patients with type 2 Diabetes. However, IL-1 antagonism also decreases IL-6 levels. The effect if IL-6 on the glucose metabolism has been unclear in the past and subject to intense debate, with recent evidence indicating a beneficial role in regulating glucose metabolism. However little is known about regulation of muscle-induced IL-6 produced during exercise. It is therefore our aim to investigate whether exercise induced increases in IL-6 are dependent on the IL-1 system. If IL-1 antagonism does decrease IL-6 and along with it, the beneficial potential of IL-6, this may require additional medication like IL-6 substitution or dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV)antagonists. In addition, the investigators will assess the effect of IL-1 antagonism on insulin and Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion as well as muscle soreness,fatigue and vascular function in response to an acute exercise bout.

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 50 Years
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • male
  • non-smoking
  • apparently healthy
  • BMI \> 18 and \< 26kg/m2
  • Age 20-50 years
  • Regular exercise including a minimum of two runs weekly of a total duration of \> 2h

Adequate contraceptive measures include hormonal methods used for two or more cycles prior to Screening (e.g., oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive patch, or contraceptive vaginal ring), double barrier methods (e.g., contraceptive sponge, diaphragm used in conjunction with contraceptive foam or jelly, and condom used in conjunction with contraceptive foam or jelly), intrauterine methods (IUD), sterilization (e.g., tubal ligation or a monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner), and abstinence.

You may not qualify if:

  • Impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose \> 5.5mmol/L)
  • Hematologic disease (leukocyte count \< 1.5x109/L, hemoglobin \< 11 g/dL, platelets \< 100 x 103/uL)
  • Kidney disease (creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL for men and 1.4mg/dL for woman)
  • Liver disease (transaminases \> 2x upper normal range)
  • Heart disease
  • Pulmonary disease
  • Inflammatory disease
  • History of carcinoma
  • History of tuberculosis
  • Alcohol consumption \> 40g/d
  • Known allergy to Kineret
  • Use of any investigational drug within 30 days prior to enrollment or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer
  • Subject refusing or unable to give written informed consent
