Upper Body Subcutaneous Exosome Release in Response to a Meal in Obesity
Recruiting now · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT07031297
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to understand the specific outflow and difference between normal weight and volunteers with obesity of upper body subcutaneous adipose tissue in response to a mixed meal challenge by site specific cannulation of the superior epigastric vein. We will characterize the exosome signatures in response to a meal and compare to the exosome signature of arterialized venous plasma samples.

Meal Study
Participants will consume a mixed meal drink (Ensure) equivalent to 40% of basil metabolic rate as calculated via Harris Benedict equation. Following consumption of the drink they will undergo a series of blood draws over the following 4 hours: * Plasma glucose will be measured according to a mixed meal test protocol every 10 minutes for the first hour and then every 15, then 30 minutes for the last 3 hours. * 1 ml plasma aliquots for exosome analysis and insulin concentrations will be drawn every 30 minutes following consumption of ensure for 4 hours. * Blood gasses will be drawn every 30 minutes for the 4 hours following the meal. Participants will undergo a second abdominal adipose tissue biopsy 3 hours following mixed meal drink.
Primary outcomes
Blood flow will be measured in the upper body subcutaneous adipose tissue using Xenon washout and reported as blood flow in ml/min/100g adipose tissue.
