Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test how soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition with GSK2256294 affects tissue sEH activity and insulin sensitivity.

Detailed Description

We will test the hypothesis that soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition with GSK2256294 improves insulin sensitivity using the gold-standard, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, with stable isotop...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Exclusion

  • Diabetes type 1 or type 2, as defined by a fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dL or greater, a two-hour plasma glucose of 200 mg/dL or greater, a HbA1c \>6.4%, or the use of anti-diabetic medication
  • Subjects who have participated in a weight-reduction program during the last six month or whose weight has increased or decreased more than two kg over the preceding six months
  • Resistant hypertension, defined as hypertension requiring the administration of more than three anti-hypertensive agents including a diuretic to achieve control
  • Use of spironolactone
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Any history of smoking
  • Any history of cancer including skin cancer, any history of a precancerous lesion, abnormal PSA, or lack of screening adherent to American Cancer Society Guidelines for the Early Detection of Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease such as myocardial infarction within six months prior to enrollment, presence of angina pectoris, significant arrhythmia, congestive heart failure (left ventricular hypertrophy acceptable), deep-vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, second- or third-degree heart block, mitral valve stenosis, aortic stenosis, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Abnormal corrected QT interval on screening ECG (QTc).
  • Treatment with anticoagulants
  • History of serious neurologic disease such as cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, or transient ischemic attack
  • History or presence of immunological or hematological disorders
  • Diagnosis of asthma requiring regular inhaler use
  • Clinically significant gastrointestinal impairment that could interfere with drug absorption
  • Impaired hepatic function (aspartate amino transaminase \[AST\] and/or alanine amino transaminase \[ALT\] \>3.0 x upper limit of normal range)
  • History of gastrointestinal bleed
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)\<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or with an albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) \>300µg/mg, where eGFR is determined by the four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, where serum creatinine is expressed in mg/dL and age in years: eGFR (mL/min/1.73m2)=186 • Scr-1.154 • age-0.203 • (1.212 if black) • (0.742 if female)
  • Hematocrit \<35%
  • Any underlying or acute disease requiring regular medication which could possibly pose a threat to the subject or make implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
  • Treatment with chronic systemic glucocorticoid therapy
  • Treatment with lithium salts
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse
  • Treatment with any investigational drug in the month preceding the study
  • Mental conditions rendering a subject unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study
  • Inability to comply with the protocol, e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and unlikelihood of completing the study
