Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
muscle oxidative stress in diabetic patients
muscular protein carbonylation level (unit: reactive carbonyl derivates, arbitrary unit) by Western blot (oxyblot kit from Chemicon) and pro et antioxidant genes expression (unit: mRNA levels normalized by housekeeping gene, arbitrary ratio) by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- plasmatic oxidative stress by dosing plasmaticmarkers:
Dosing plasmatic malondialdéhyde, plasmatic H2O2, protein carbonylation of plasmatic protein and urinary isoprostans, and finally antioxidants (vitamins C and E, glutathione (unit: from µM to M)
alterations in mitochondrial structure of skeletal muscle with transmission electron microscopy
Analysis of mitochondria area (in µm2) and density (in %)
mitochondrial density by measuring the ratio mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA)/nuclear DNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in skeletal muscle
mitochondrial function
Expression of genes implicated in mitochondrial action (messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and proteins levels by Western Blot)(unit: arbitrary ratio relative to housekeeping gene/protein).
quantification of intramuscular lipids by histology (biopsy analysis)
Staining Oil Red O evaluate the intramuscular lipid accumulation using the software ImageJ(unit: % of labelling by field).
sensitivity to insulin using a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp
sensitivity to insulin will be expressed as the glucose infusion rate (GIR)/insulinemia ratio.
uricemia and xanthine oxidase activity in sera and muscles(unit: mg/l for uricemia and mU/ml for XO activity)
Plasma concentrations of uric acid will be measured before and after treatment to assess patient compliance . The reduction of xanthine oxidase activity in serum and muscle protein lysates will be measured using the kit " Amplex Red xanthine / xanthine oxidase assay kit" from Molecular Probes
Tolerance of the treatment measured by any adverse events during treatment and between each visit.
Any adverse events during treatment and between each visit.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Our recent data in mice have demonstrated a key role of xanthine oxidase in hyperglycemia-induced by Reactive oxygen species production, and a preventive role of allopurinol (inhibitor of xanthine oxidase) on the keeping of mitochondria number and structure, in skeletal muscle of diabetic mice. The investigators want to initiate a clinical trial in order to evaluate the efficacy of allopurinol on the improvement of mitochondrial alterations, oxidative capacities and insulin sensitivity, in skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic patients.
