Free Fatty Acids-Induced Hypertension, Endothelial Dysfunction, Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, and Autonomic Dysfunction in Lean and Obese Subjects
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intralipid 20%, Normal Saline, and 1 other intervention for Diabetes and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although a large number of obese patients develop high blood pressure, the cause is unknown. The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of high fatty acids (a type of fat) in the development of high blood pressure in obese people.

Interventions
Lean and obese normotensive subjects will receive Intralipid 20% infusion. Intralipid is an oil-in-water emulsion derived from egg phospholipids, soybean, and glycerol. The Intralipid 20% long-chain triglyceride emulsion contains: 200 g of soy bean oil; 12 g of egg yolk; 25 g of glycerol. The emulsion is composed of the following free fatty acids (FFAs): linoleic acid: 50%, oleic acid: 26%, palmitic acid: 10%, stearic acid: 9%, egg yolk, phospholipids: 3.5% It will be given intravenously at 20 ml/hr (96 g/24 h) for 24 hours.
Lean and obese normotensive subjects will receive normal saline at 20 ml/hr for 24 hours.
Lean and obese normotensive subjects will receive an oral fat load at 96 g/24hr. The oral liquid fat load will be given in equal amounts (16 g) every 4 hours (total 96 g over 24 hours).
