Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall variation in the assessment of fatty acid uptake and blood flow in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in the fasted and postprandial states by evaluating the repeatability of whole-body three-dimensional kinetic (4D) combined positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) readouts in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and non-diabetic control participants. Each volunteer participates 4 scanning sessions.

Detailed description

A total of approximately 13 T2DM and 6 control subjects (a total of 19 subjects) are planned to be enrolled to achieve 11 T2DM and 5 control subjects to complete the study, assuming a 15% drop-out rate. The test-retest repeatability of the ratio of FTHA uptake rates in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) to skeletal muscle is measured using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Assuming an ICC of 0.85, with a 5% two-sided type I error rate, a sample size of 16 completers will yield approximately 90% power to detect an ICC statistically significantly greater than 0.4 (usually considered as a criterion for moderate agreement). The total radiaooin burden for tshi sitdu yis 27.4 mSv. The study is approved by the local Ethical committtee and Fimea.

Interventions

One arm: Subjects are studied under two consecutive conditions, after overnight fasting and after a liquid meal ingestion. During each condition they are examined for fatty acid uptake in subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle by FTHA(\[18F\]-FTHA) PET/MRI as well as adipose and skeletal muscle blood perfusion by radioactive water(\[15O\]-H2O ) PET/MRI. This was done at two occasions, 2-14 days apart, to assess repeatability of the measurements. Assigned interventions: \[18F\]-FTHA tracer injections \[15O\]-H2O tracer injections PET/MRI imaging Overnight fasting Liquid meal ingestion
