Apelin

Placebo

Arm Description

An apelin clamp in which an apelin infusion will be administered prior to reference clamp

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Rate of glucose infusion
Measuring the difference between the rate of glucose infusion measured in the last 30 minutes of a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in the presence of a continuous infusion (PYR1)-apelin-13 infusion rate of glucose measured in the same conditions in the presence of a continuous infusion of placebo.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Changes in the measurement of systolic blood pressure during each clamp
Changes in the measurement of diastolic blood pressure during each clamp
Changes in heart rate measurement during each clamp
Changes in ECG during each clamp
Clinical signs of intolerance / allergy / toxicity at visit 2,3 and 4
Determination of plasma insulin at all sampling
Determination of plasma glucagon at all sampling times
Determination of plasma apelin at all sampling times
Determination of plasma leptin at all sampling times
Determination of plasma adiponectin at all sampling times

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The (PYR1)-apelin-13 is an endogenous peptide discovered relatively recently (1998). The apelin and its receptor, which is named apj, are expressed in many tissues including sensitive to the action of insulin, such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and heart tissue. Recent work by the team of Prof. P.Valet (INSERM U1048, Toulouse) opened a new field of investigation, demonstrating for the first time in mouse models that apelin exerts a glucose-regulating in vivo action. The investigators propose a translational clinical research project whose goal is to provide the proof of concept of the favorable influence of apelin on insulin sensitivity in humans.
