Filter by:The metabolic syndrome is a group of cardiometabolic risk factors that reflect a sedentary lifestyle and the excessive intake of food among the risk factors that comprise it are located the obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. It has been observed that the interventions of lifestyle changes that promote weight loss through the practice of physical activity and intake of a hypocaloric diet, reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as Metabolic syndrome. Adherence is defined as the extent to which a person's behaviour - taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider. The World Health Organization has estimated that in developing countries, as in Mexico, less than 27% of people with chronic diseases will continue treatment as directed. Adherence to treatment of chronic disease is a multifactorial problem that includes not only patient-related barriers, but also providers of health services and social security systems themselves. Furthermore, as WHO has pointed out, as increasing prevalence of chronic non-adherence to treatment will become a global problem even more serious. The purpose of this study is develop and implement a methodology to overcome barriers affecting adherence to treatment of women over 20 years with non-communicable diseases such as metabolic syndrome (diabetes , hypertension and dyslipidemia) evaluating its impact through various quantitative indicators such as weight loss or metabolic syndrome prevalence. This study will include two phases: 1. Phase 1. Design. Qualitative methodology was used primarily to identify the barriers faced by individuals to adhere to treatment. From this methodology, we developed a tool to assess adherence to treatment of subjects with these conditions and then an intervention to improve it. 2. Phase 2. Implementation of intervention (24 weeks). To recruite a group of 180 overweight and two of the following comorbidities: diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia or hypertension. All study subjects will be randomized to a control group and intervention. The control group will receive a medical traditional clinical care. The intervention group will receive a lifestyle treatment with behavioral intervention to improve adherence for improve eating behaviors, physical activity and metabolic control.
The aim of the project was the evaluation of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of a whole grain pasta, enriched in barley β-glucans and fortified with strains of Bacillus coagulans, versus a control wheat pasta on healthy volunteers, using a parallel randomized controlled trial.
The important role played by the GI tract microflora on the metabolic health of an individual are increasingly recognized. In this respect, the initial studies of Metchinkoff that suggested a role of fermented food (specifically yoghourts ) to modulate the gut microflora have evolved into the concept of "probiotics". Probiotics are living microorganisms that bring a benefit to the host when administered in sufficient quantity (WHO/FAO, 2001). Here the investigators will study, in normal young male volunteers, the potential to modulate post-prandial metabolic and inflammatory responses by the administration of a yoghourt containing the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG).
This study evaluated change over time in neurocognitive testing in patients receiving statin therapy in combination with evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with patients receiving statin therapy in combination with placebo.
Bergamot-derived products have shown significant effects on plasma lipids. We aim in the present study to evaluate the effect of bergamot on several cardio-metabolic risk markers.
To evaluate if nutritional treatment with nutritional supplementation of dietary fiber reduces cholesterol levels and triglycerides (dyslipidemia) in patients with HIV/AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of the drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given once a day for 12, 24, and 52 weeks to participants with abnormal amounts of cholesterol and/or fat in the blood stream. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. This study will also evaluate how the study drug reacts in the body when given once a day for 12, 24 and 52 weeks and how the body responds and returns to normal when the treatment is complete. The relationship between study drug and the results from the how the study drug reacts in the body may be explored, if needed.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. The disease is characterized by a high mortality rate (about 40%) and a course continuously altered by lifestyle, gene polymorphisms and therapeutic treatment. Fasting concentration of blood lipids and lipoproteins only partially express the complex relation between dyslipidemia and CHD. Following the indication stated nearly 40 years ago by Zilversmit, there is now accumulating evidence that postprandial lipemia plays an important role in the atherogenic process [ref Kolovou], particularly that most hours of the day are spent in the postprandial state. Furthermore, the increases in blood glucose and triglycerides (TGs) following meals stimulate oxidative stress, impair endothelial function, and rises the inflammatory factors that lead to atherosclerosis. Previous studies reported on postprandial lipemia in subjects with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, elderly, patients with CHD and others. However, currently the estimation of cardiovascular disease risk is based on fasting blood values of triglycerides (TGs) and inflammatory markers. The effect of postprandial atherogenic factors on the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis is actually not known.The Hellenic Postprandial Lipemia Study (HPLS) was designed to study the consequences of postprandial lipemia in CRP as inflammatory marker in high-risk adults. Furthermore, the HPLS study will investigate whether hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic or antihypertensive medication may lessen the exaggerated postprandial lipemia as well as the rest abnormal postprandial metabolism. Finally, the HPLS study is intending to evaluate the influence of gene polymorphisms involved in lipid and glucose metabolism on postprandial lipemia and cardiovascular outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of CKD-519.
The structural and functional alterations of high density lipoproteins (HDL) levels in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients linked to hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidation, play a major role in the increased macrovascular risk in these patients. An impaired function of the adipose tissue (AT) in T2D contributes to low HDL concentrations. Objectives: 1) Quantitative and qualitative characterisation of HDL subclasses by ultracentrifugation, proteomic and metabolomic techniques. 2) To study the relationship between the HDL subclasses, preβ1 HDL and remnant HDL, and clinical determinants of arteriosclerosis. 3) Functional in vitro studies of the HDL subclasses determined in Objective 1. 4) To study the role of AT determining the low HDL levels. 5) To study the impact of HDL increasing drugs on HDL qualitative changes.
