There are about 28871 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Canada. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This crossover study investigates the effects of restricting arterial blood flow during cycling exercise on PGC-1α and its upstream signalling pathways. In a randomized order, participants will exercise once for 30 minutes with restricted blood flow and then will exercise once for 30 minutes with no blood flow restriction.
This study will provide insights on the infusion parameters, dosing, and experience of participants transitioning to CUVITRU in a real-world setting.
Relationship between carbetocin dose on transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR).
This is a Phase 2b, randomized, double blind, parallel group, multicenter study with an extension period. The study will have a maximum duration of approximately 60 weeks. This includes an up to 4 weeks Screening Period, a 24 week dose ranging period, an up to 24 week extension period and a 8 week Follow up Period.
It is established that resistance training improves metabolic health; however, the mechanisms of this process are not fully understood. A biologically active substance, irisin, has recently received interest in the scientific community with respect to its effects on energy expenditure and weight loss. The purpose of this study is to compare the different irisin release response during a resistance exercise training session. The study will compare individuals two different age groups (young adults: age 18-30; older adults: age 65-75) living with obesity.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of secukinumab at Week 16, based on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) rates versus placebo, along with the maintenance of efficacy of secukinumab at Week 52 in subjects with moderate to severe HS. Moreover, this study assessed the safety and tolerability of secukinumab.

The PROPhecy study aims to detect the presence of atrial fibrillation/flutter in patients who have suffered an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) using 30 day cardiac monitoring. We hypothesize that the presence of any of the following features on long-term heart rhythm monitoring (holter monitoring) or heart ultrasound (transthoracic echocardiogram), either individually or in combination, will have additional predictive value for the detection of atrial fibrillation lasting 30 seconds or longer on 30 day holter monitoring: - greater than 100 premature atrial beats in 24 hours - greater than 2 runs of atrial tachycardia (4 or more non-sinus beats) in 24 hours - Left atrial enlargement on transthoracic echocardiogram
It is well known that dietary protein is a powerful transient stimulator of the muscle protein synthetic rate (MPS) whereby changes in MPS in response to feeding may be regulated by specific downstream target proteins of mammalian target of rapamycin signaling, such as S6K1, rpS6, and eIF2B. A meal deficient in protein, however, does not increase the rate of MPS because a rise in the bioavailability of amino acids does not occur. In addition, the source of dietary proteins has been shown to impact postprandial blood levels of amino acids. The concept that certain types of proteins are "fast acting" or "slow acting" has been shown to affect the postprandial profile of amino acids appearing in the systemic circulation. Native whey and micellar casein are both dairy proteins that contain a similar amount of essential (EAA), but blood EAA levels increase faster and to a higher level after the consumption of whey protein. Differences in gastric emptying, digestion and absorption kinetics between micellar casein and native whey are the underlying factors. Nonetheless, micellar casein protein has been shown to protract MPS in humans. Despite the significant amount of information gained with respect to both of these protein sources, the effects of combinatorial formulations on the postprandial profile of amino acids appearing in the blood is less well known. The purpose of the present study is to determine post-ingestion aminoacidemia, glycemia, and insulinemia from a specially formulated dairy protein blend.
