Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare de effect of vitamin K2 in young adults with overweight or obesity. The main questions to answer are: What is the effect of Vitamin K2 supplementation on methylation, serum concentration of ucOC, cOC, Gas6, leptin, inflammatory markers, cardiometabolic risk factors, and cardiovascular risk in overweight or obese young adults? Participants will be assigned to one of two intervention groups where they will consume Vitamin K2 100 µg per day or cornstarch 500 mg per day for 90 days. If there is a comparison group: Investigators will compare the supplementation group (Vitamin K2) with the placebo group (cornstarch) to see if vitamin K2 supplementation modifies methylation, increases serum vitamin K, osteocalcin, growth arrest-specific 6 protein serum concentration, decreases serum leptin concentration, inflammatory markers and reduces cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular risk.
This study is designed as a two-group parallel randomized controlled trial (N=50) to test effects of 8-weeks of Qigong/Tai Chi (QTC) intervention compared to QTC plus HRVB on HRV parameters (primary), and cardiometabolic risk factors and sequelae (secondary) (e.g., BMI, waist circumference/percent body fat, sleep quality, stress, anxiety/depression, emotional regulation, eating behaviors, and cognitive performance).
Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Recently, dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Animal studies have demonstrated that administration of probiotics help delay the progression of atherosclerosis through several mechanisms. This trial aims to examine its protective effect in humans.
A randomized, double blind, counterbalanced, placebo controlled independent groups design to determine the effects of 3 month supplementation with tart cherry concentrate on indices of cardiometabolic health, exercise capacity and cognitive function. Following screening and recruitment, participants are familiarised with the testing equipment and procedures after which they will be randomly assigned to receive either Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (MC) or an isocaloric placebo (PLA), stratified by gender. The study is comprised of two experimental visits and outcome variables are assessed at baseline (before supplementation) and at 3 months (follow up; after supplementation).
This study aimed to compare the effects between sunlight exposure and oral vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and metabolic markers in Korean young adults.
