The purpose of this study is to identify gene variants that increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes, particularly genes related to stress factors.
In Aim 3, 100 subjects who participated in previous studies will be recruited to test the ability of a 5HTR2C agonist (lorcaserin) to increase and antagonist (ziprasidone) to reduce cortisol response to mental and metabolic stress in men carrying the rs6318 C allele and women in the rs6318 CC genotype of 5HTR2C. Lorcaserin is serotonin receptor agonist indicated for use as a weight loss drug. Ziprasidone is an antipsychotic indicated for treatment of bipolar disorder. Subjects will be treated with a single dose of each drug, 1 to 2 weeks apart, followed by a mental stress test and an oral glucose tolerance test with multiple blood draws. Each subject will also receive a placebo drug during one of the study visits.
