Study information
Scientific title
Acronym
IGT-FRA-oo30-I
Study hypothesis
The study aim is to investigate whether:
1. Experimental hyperglycemia reduces renal hemodynamics (glomerula filtration rate, renal plasma flow)
2. Angiotensin II Type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker treatment prevents hyperglycemia induced changes of renal hemodynamics
Ethics approval
The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Technical University of Munich.
Study design
Single-centre, open, prospective, longitudinal, non-randmoised controlled trial.
Primary study design
Interventional
Secondary study design
Non randomised controlled trial

Patient information sheet
Condition
Impaired glucose tolerance/ renal changes in prediabetes
Intervention
12 participants were recruited in each of the two groups. Statistical calculation was carried out by the Institute of Statistics, Technical University of Munich.
Participants of both groups (control and IGT-group) received the following two interventions:
1. Experimental hyperglycemia (clamp technique)
2. Valsartan (AT1 receptor blocker)(oral, taken once a day in the morning) treatment for 4 weeks. The initial dose was 80 mg/day, and the dosage was increased after 7 +/- 2 days of administration to 160 mg /day.
A safety visit was made at 5 +/- 2 days after the beginning of the study for the measurement of serum creatintine, potassium and blood pressure.

Drug names
AT1 receptor blocker
Primary outcome measure
The following were measured at rest (U1 rest, U2 rest) and during hyperglycemic stress testing (U1 stress, U2 stress) with and without AT1 receptor blocker treatment:
1. Glomerular filtration rate (inulin clearance)
2. Renal plasma flow (Para-AminoHippurate [PAH] clearance)
U1: Without AT1 receptor blocker
U2: After a 4-week treatment with valsartan
Secondary outcome measures
The following were assessed at U1 and U2:
1. High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
2. Adiponectin
3. HbA1c (blood tests)
U1: Without AT1 receptor blocker
U2: After a 4-week treatment with valsartan
