Influence Of Endothelial Function On Central and Peripheral Causes Of Exercise Impairment In Type 2 Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise program and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) for Type 2 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will evaluate the effects of impaired blood flow regulation on exercise. It will also determine whether the effects are more important in the heart or in the skeletal muscle tissue during exercise. In addition, this study will decide whether temporarily reversing these problems will improve blood flow control, improve heart and muscle tissue function and help improve exercise capacity in person with type 2 diabetes. This study will do so using two methods: (1) by giving vitamin C intravenously (IV) and (2) a three month exercise training program. Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled in this study.

Timeline
Interventions
Three month exercise program located at the Anschutz Medical Campus at I-225 and Colfax. The program runs three times per week for about an hour each session. Gym is open Monday - Saturday during specific hours (morning, noon, evening).
During one exercise study visit, 0.06 grams of Vitamin C per kilogram fat-free mass per 100 milliliters (mL) of normal saline administered; Subjects will receive a bolus of 100mL Vitamin C solution given at 5ml/minute over 20 minutes followed by a "drip-infusion" given at 1.7ml/minute.
