History of Changes
  Purpose

We intend to pursue the following Aims:

  1. Does inflammation contribute importantly to concurrent defects in vascular and metabolic dysfunction in human pre-diabetic obesity?
  2. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with metformin?
  3. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with lisinopril?

The intent of the current project is to efficiently and at low cost generate preliminary data along each of these lines of questioning, studying the minimum number of subjects required to assess the viability of the question using the current measurement approaches.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary endpoints of interest are basal flow and diameter, flow-mediated vasodilation, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal and insulin-mediated vasodilation measured by brachial artery ultrasound [ Time Frame: End of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Other endpoints of interest include circulating levels of endothelin and nitric oxide, levels of inflammatory markers, circulating endothelial progenitor cell numbers, and steady-state glucose disposal rate for the insulin infusion study. [ Time Frame: End of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 14

Study Completion Date: August 2010
Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Nondiabetic lean and obese subjects will be studied in this arm. Subjects will be studied at baseline and after 2 months of treatment with salsalate.
 Drug: salsalate
Subjects will receive 2 months of treatment with 4 gram/day of oral salsalate divided into 3 doses.
Experimental: Metformin
Obese subjects will be pre-treated with metformin 1000mg bid for 4 weeks prior to baseline measurements and will continue metformin in addition to salsalate for an additional 2 months.
 Drug: salsalate
Subjects will receive 2 months of treatment with 4 gram/day of oral salsalate divided into 3 doses.
Drug: metformin
metformin po 1000mg bid
Experimental: Lisinopril
Obese subjects will be pre-treated with lisinopril 20mg qd for 4 weeks prior to baseline measurements and continue lisinopril in addition to salsalate for an additional 2 months.
 Drug: salsalate
Subjects will receive 2 months of treatment with 4 gram/day of oral salsalate divided into 3 doses.
Drug: lisinopril
lisinopril po 20mg qd
