Study of the Metabolism of 13C Labelled Glucose to 13CO2 in Human Breath
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Oral glucose breath test for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if oxidation of 13C glucose to 13CO2 is changed in type 2 diabetic patients.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Simultaneous oral glucose tolerance test and exogenous 13C-glucose breath test following a 12hr overnight fast. Fasting samples were obtained for plasma glucose, insulin, c-peptide, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, HbA1c and two breath 13CO2 abundance values (at t = -15 and -5min). At t = 0min, each subject drank a 75g glucose solution (Thornton \& Ross, UK) containing 0.15g of 1-13C glucose. Further breath samples (every 15 min over a 240min interval) and further plasma blood glucose, insulin and c-peptide samples (90,120,180min) were also taken.
