E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary objective to investigate the effect of Eplerenone 200 mg once daily compared to placebo on: • Liver fat content by proton MR spectroscopy |
undersøge effekten af eplerenon sammenlignet med placebo på leverens fedtindhold målt ved MR scanning |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives to investigate the effect of Eplerenone on: • Fat mass distribution: total abdominal fat, VAT/subcutaneous and lower body fat • Insulin resistance by HOMA and Matsuda index, glucose homeostasis by HbA1c • Global longitudinal strain (GLS) • Systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricule: LVEF, EDV, ESV, S’, E’ • Regional and global fibrosis, and LV mass by MRI • Biomarkers of myocardial stress and fibrosis: NT-proBNP, MR-proANP, Galectin-3, GDF-15, MR-proADM • Biomarkers of adipocyte function: adiponectin, leptin, TNF-α, FFA, IL-6, MCP-1, MAC-1, FGF-21 • Biomarkers of molecular biology: microRNA profiles, gene, RNA, SNPs-profiles, telomere length in white blood cells • Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio • Pulse-wave velocity and pulse-wave analysis • 24 hour blood pressure • Quality of life (WHO-5, W-BQ12) |
