NCT ID: NCT01679652 Completed - Clinical trials for Essential Hypertension

The Effects of Nebivolol on the NO-system in Patients With Essential Hypertension

NEBI
Start date: August 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Investigators want investigate the following hypothesis: 1. Nebivolol increases nitric oxide activity in the systemic circulation and the kidney 2. The increased activity of nitric oxide during nebivolol treatment can be demonstrated by inhibition of NO synthesis with L-NMMA. We expect increased responses in blood pressure and sodium excretion is expected during nebivolol treatment compared to placebo.

NCT ID: NCT01678261 Completed - Aortic Aneurysm Clinical Trials

X-chromosome Inactivation, Epigenetics and the Transcriptome

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The human genetic material consists of 46 chromosomes of which two are sex chromosomes. The sex-chromosome from the mother is the X and from the father the Y-chromosome. Hence a male consist of one Y and one X chromosome and a female of 2 X-chromosomes. Alterations in the number of sex-chromosomes and in particular the X-chromosome is fundamental to the development of numerous syndromes such as Turner syndrome (45,X), Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), triple X syndrome (47,XXX) and double Y syndrome (47,XYY). Despite the obvious association between the X-chromosome and disease only one gene has been shown to be of significance, namely the short stature homeobox gene (SHOX). Turner syndrome is the most well characterized and the typical diseases affecting the syndrome are: - An Increased risk of diseases where one's own immune system reacts against one's own body (autoimmune diseases) and where the cause of this is not known; For example diabetes and hypothyroidism. - Increased risk of abortion and death in uteri - Underdeveloped ovaries with the inability to produce sex hormones and being infertile. - Congenital malformations of the major arteries and the heart of unknown origin. - Alterations in the development of the brain, especially with respect to the social and cognitive dimensions. - Increased incidence obesity, hypertension, diabetes and osteoporosis. In healthy women with to normal X-chromosomes, the one of the X-chromosomes is switched off (silenced). The X-chromosome which is silenced varies from cell to cell. The silencing is controlled by a part of the X-chromosome designated XIC (X-inactivation center). The inactivation/silencing of the X-chromosome is initiated by a gene named Xist-gene (the X inactivation specific transcript).This gene encodes specific structures so called lincRNAs (long intervening specific transcripts) which are very similar to our genetic material (DNA) but which is not coding for proteins. The final result is that women are X-chromosome mosaics with one X-chromosome from the mother and the other X from the father. However, numerous genes on the X-chromosome escape this silencing process by an unknown mechanism. Approximately two third of the genes are silenced, 15 % avoid silencing and 20 percent are silenced or escape depending on the tissue of origin. The aforementioned long non-protein-coding parts of our genetic material (LincRNAs) are abundant and produced in large quantities but their wole as respect to health and disease need further clarification. Studies indicate that these LincRNAs interact with the protein coding part of our genetic material modifying which genes are translated into proteins and which are not. During this re-modelling there is left foot prints on the genetic material which can indicate if it is a modification that results in silencing or translation of the gene. It is possible to map these foot prints along the entire X-chromosome using molecular techniques like ChIP (Chromatin immunoprecipitation) and ChIP-seq (deep sequencing). The understanding achieved so far as to the interplay between our genetic material and disease has arisen from genetic syndromes which as the X-chromosome syndromes are relatively frequent and show clear manifestations of disease giving the researcher a possibility to identify genetic material linked to the disease. Turner and Klinefelter syndrome are, as the remaining sex chromosome syndromes, excellent human disease models and can as such help to elaborate on processes contributing to the development of diseases like diabetes, hypothyroidism, main artery dilation and ischemic heart disease. The purpose of the study is to: 1. Define the changes in the non-coding part of the X-chromosome. 2. Identify the transcriptome (non-coding part of the X-chromosome)as respect to the RNA generated from the X-chromosome. 3. Identify changes in the coding and non-coding parts of the X-chromosome which are specific in relation to Turner syndrome and which can explain the diseases seen in Turner syndrome. 4. Study tissue affected by disease in order to look for changes in the X-chromosome with respect to both the coding and non-coding part of the chromosome. 6. Determine if certain genes escape X-chromosome silencing and to establish if this is associated with the parent of origin.

NCT ID: NCT01677741 Completed - Neoplasms, Brain Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT01677273 Completed - Increased Satiety Clinical Trials

The Effect of Hydrolyzed Casein on Energy Expenditure and Subjective Appetite

HerKulES
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim is to examine and compare the effects of hydrolyzed casein (HC), intact casein (IC) and intact whey protein (IWP) on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). Furthermore, to study the effects on appetite regulation assessed by subjective appetite sensations, ad libitum energy intake and appetite regulating hormones. Whey and casein differ in absorption and digestion rate, with whey being a fast protein and casein being a slow protein. When casein undergoes hydrolysis the absorption and digestion rates approaches the rates of whey. In the present study the importance of absorption rate and amino acid composition, in regards to energy expenditure and appetite regulation, will be examined. HC and IC have identical amino acid composition, but differ in absorption rate, whereas HC and IWP have similar absorption rates, but differ in amino acid composition. We hypothesize that consumption of HC will increase DIT and fat oxidation to a greater extend that IC. Moreover, that HC and IWP will increase satiety shortly after protein consumption, whereas IC will be more satiating after several hours. The study is a controlled, randomized, 3-arm crossover study. It consists of three visits in a respiratory chamber separated by at least two weeks. 26 healthy, overweight and obese (BMI 27-35 kg/m2) young men will be enrolled and randomized to the order of the three protein supplements (HC, IC or IWP). At each visit protein supplements (containing either HC, IC or IWP) will be served as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Respiratory measures will be obtained over 24 hours and appetite will be assessed by visual analogue scales and appetite regulating hormones. Furthermore, ad libitum energy intake will be assessed.
