NCT01771614

Brief Summary

Experimental hyperglycemia (5 hours) will be induced via a constant- or fluctuating-rate glucose infusion to establish different patterns of glycemia in healthy individuals. The effects of these acute models of hyperglycemia on the adaptations to a single aerobic exercise bout will be tested. Changes in pancreatic endocrine function, insulin sensitivity, endothelial function, and oxidative stress will be measured.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pancreatic endocrine function

    The plasma insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon responses to a 0.33 g/kg intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) will be measured. In each trial, the IVGTT will be performed at T = 0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours.

    0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Glucose tolerance

    0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

  • Endothelial function

    0, 6, 7, 9, and 24 hours

  • Oxidative stress

    24 hours

Study Arms (3)

Normoglycemia + exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

At T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.

Behavioral: Exercise

Steady-State Hyperglycemia + exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

At T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. During this time, steady-state hyperglycemia (\~10 mM) will be induced experimentally via a variable-rate intravenous infusion of 20% dextrose. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.

Behavioral: ExerciseProcedure: Hyperglycemia

Fluctuating Hyperglycemia + exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

At T = 0 h participants will undergo an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.33 g/kg glucose) immediately followed by a 4-hour rest period. During this time, fluctuating hyperglycemia (\~8-15 mM) will be induced by intravenously injecting 0.15 g/kg boluses of 20% dextrose every 30 minutes. At T = 5 h, participants will undertake 45 minutes of moderate-intensity (70% VO2max) bicycle ergometry. Immediately following (T = 6 h) and 1- (T = 7 h), 3- (T = 9 h), and 18- hours (T = 24 h) after exercise, participants will undergo additional IVGTTs.
