Clinical Details

Official title: Effect of Metformin on Lactate Metabolism in Healthy Subjects

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Factorial Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: Lactate production following exogenous lactate overload

Secondary outcome:

Production of lactate following muscular exercise test.

Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following exogenous lactate overload (bi-exponential model).

Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following muscular exercise test (bi-exponential model).

Detailed description: Study design: Physiological study, controlled, open, non randomised

Principal objective : To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (production) following exogenous lactate overload.

- Objective 2: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (production)

after muscular exercise.

- Objective 3: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (elimination)

after exogenous lactate overload.

- Objective 4: To evaluate the influence of metformin on lactate metabolism (elimination)

after muscular exercise.

Principal outcome : Lactate production following exogenous lactate overload.

- Outcome 2: Production of lactate following muscular exercise test.

- Outcome 3 and 3': Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following exogenous

lactate overload (bi-exponential model).

- Outcome 4 and 4': Parameters modelizing elimination of lactate following muscular

exercise test (bi-exponential model).
