Filter by:Beta-amino isobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a myokine produced in skeletal muscle and has been shown to impact how our body metabolizes fuel. We seek to examine changes in body composition, weight loss, glucose control, and cardiometabolic risk factors after adding supplementation of BAIBA to exercise in overweight and obese men and women.
The goal of this intervention study is to examine changes in body composition, weight loss, and cardio-metabolic risk factors after adding supplementation of L-Beta aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA) and Grains of Paradise to exercise in overweight and obese men and women. Participants will supplement for 8 weeks and complete a 8 week exercise protocol.
There are two parts to this study: 1. The investigators will study if the benefit from eating a healthy, balanced diet depends on the types of food processing in the diet. The investigators will do this by providing participants with two diets that follow the Eatwell Guide (referred to in this study as Diet A and Diet B to avoid unblinding), but containing foods with different types of food processing, for 8 weeks each. The investigators will collect data on blood pressure, body composition, physical activity and fitness, questions regarding quality of life, mental health and wellbeing, and blood samples at the start of each diet and at 4 and 8 weeks into each diet. 2. The investigators will then study whether participants are able to switch from their usual unhealthy diet to a healthy, balanced diet, and the benefits of doing so. The investigators will do this by providing participants with 6 months of personal support. The investigators will also look at what helps participants to maintain a healthy diet, and what makes it difficult. The investigators will also support participants to be more physically active.
This study will provide nutrition counseling via FaceTime on an iPad to persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) who are overweight or obese and are at least one-year post-injury. Nutrition counseling may help participants to develop eating behaviors that match the participants' needs and help improve heart health. The purpose of this project is to decrease the risk of complications like obesity, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and explore associations between bowel and bladder function and nutrition. This study will require 3 in person visits that are about 3 months apart. The total length of the study is about 6 months and includes 3 months of telenutrition counseling.
The aim of the CArdioMetabolic Prevention (CAMP) pilot study is to investigate the effect of a group intervention on lifestyle in adolescents and on at least one adult family member. This will be followed by telemedicine tools for 12-week-time period. A face-to-face group intervention addressing nutrition, physical activity and well being together with an assessment of anthropometry parameters, body composition, questionnaires, blood and stool sampling will be done before and after 12 weeks of telemedicine. The study aims to investigate: - the effect of 12-week intervention on body weight, anthropometry parameters and cardiometabolic markers in comparison to the conventionally led obesity clinic for adolescents - the compliance with telemedicine tools that will focus on the support of balance nutrition, physical activity (evaluation of daily steps through smart bands) and family well being in regards to the effect on anthropometry and laboratory parameters - the effect of the intervention on data from questionnaires (eating disorders, quality of life, psychological health) before and after the intervention - data analysis of family members with respect to theirs offspring
This is an intervention study aiming to test the effectiveness of a vegan diet, My Plate with low purine choices, and amla fruits on uric acid and other cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with high serum uric acid levels.
Visceral obesity and adipose inflammation is considered a driving force of obesity-related systemic disease, e.g. cardiometabolic disease, liver cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammatory resolution is actively regulated by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including the endogenous eicosanoid LXA4. Impairment of SPMs may underlie development of obesity-related pathology.We hypothesize that obese patients who develop obesity-related disease do so because they suffer from impaired endogenous production of pro-resolving lipids. This will result in aggravated adipose inflammation and fibrosis, which contribute to the systemic pathologies. We thus wish to investigate adipose inflammation and the pro-resolving lipid profile of obese subjects with and without obesity associated metabolic disease. We also aim to investigate whether LXA4, LXB4 and other anti-inflammatory agents (such as AICAR) can alter the phenotype of human adipose macrophages in ex vivo tissue culture. We also investigate basic pathways in inflammatory regulation and obesity related cardiometabolic disease.
