Study Summary

We hypothesize that the hearts of HIV+ people with The Metabolic Syndrome use and oxidize fats and sugars inappropriately, and that this may impair the heart's ability to pump blood. We hypothesize that exercise training or pioglitazone (Actos) will improve fat and sugar metabolism in the hearts of HIV+ people with The Metabolic Syndrome. This study will advance our understanding of cardiovascular disease in HIV+ people, and will test the efficacy of exercise training and pioglitazone for improving insulin resistance, heart metabolism and heart function in this at risk population.

Primary Outcome

Radio-tracer (11C-glucose) and positron emission tomography quantification of myocardial glucose utilization rate. The rate at which glucose exits the blood, enters the muscle cells in the left ventricle, and is metabolized (ATP generation, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, or lactate production). Total glucose utilization rate in the left ventricle of the heart.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Exercise Training
  • DRUG Pioglitazone
