Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Changes in cardiac function and metabolism following treatment with PPARg agonist versus current state of the art therapy, metformin.
Secondary outcome
Glucose and FFA uptake by adipose tissue and skeletal muscle Cardiac high-energy-phosphate (HEP) metabolism.
Hemodynamic and vascular parametersBody composition (body mass index (BMI), waist, adipose tissue distribution, including liver fat content, body fat percentage and fluid retention) Plasma parameters of glycemic control and lipoprotein metabolism Circulating levels of markers of inflammation, coagulation activation, fibrinolysis and endothelial functions Whole-body insulin sensitivity (by clamp).
Background summary
Background/hypothesis:
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) have a considerably higher risk to develop cardiac disease with a poorer outcome. Ectopic triglyceride (TG) accumulation underlies diabetic cardiomyopathy. These cardiac abnormalities can be reversed by lowering myocardial TG using a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) g agonist. Metformin, the present gold standard treatment for type 2 diabetes, might also have cardioprotective properties due to its recently proposed mechanism of action.
Study objective
Lipotoxicity-related cardiac abnormalities can be reversed by PPAR g agonist therapy in type 2 diabetes patients.
Study design
N/A
Intervention
80 subjects on monotherapy sulfanylurea for at least 10 weeks will be enrolled. Following, participants will be randomised to Metformin or Pioglitazone for 24 weeks.
Group 1: Metformin;
Group 2: Pioglitazone
10 healthy subject will only undergo baseline measurements.
