Conditions
Brief summary
The clinical study aims to investigate the effect of the intravenously administrated amylin analogue (pramlintide) on the circulating levels of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) (a marker of bone resorption) and N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP) (a marker of bone formation) in individuals with type 1 diabetes and matched healthy controls during fasting euglycemic conditions.
Detailed description
Using a randomised double blinded placebo-controlled crossover design the investigators will evaluate the effects of the intravenously administrated amylin analogue (pramlintide) on circulating levels of CTX-1 and P1NP in ten individuals with type 1 diabetes and ten healthy controls matched for age, gender and body mass index (BMI) during fasting and euglycemic conditions. Each participant will receive double-blinded infusions of pramlintide (3 pmol/kg/min) and saline on two separate study days performed in randomised order. The primary endpoints are the relative changes in the plasma levels of P1NP and CTX-1. The changes in plasma concentrations will be assessed by the total and incremental (baseline-subtracted) area under the curve for plasma CTX-1 and P1NP as well as %-changes from baseline including nadir. The secondary endpoints encompass changes in plasma concentrations of calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, glucagon, insulin, C-peptide, glucose, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucagon-like peptide 2.
Interventions
At time 0 min, continuous infusion of a stable amylin analogue (pramlintide) will be initiated at a rate of 3.0 pmol/kg/min. The infusion will be terminated after 180 minutes.
At time 0 min, continuous infusion of isotonic saline will be initiated at a rate of 150 ml/h. The infusion will be terminated after 180 minutes.
