Filter by:Introduction: the global sugar consumption has increased in the past 50 years and their abusive intake is responsible for the insulin resistance and causes the metabolic syndrome - obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and coronary heart disease. Objective: To evaluate the effect of scheduled diet without glucose as treatment of labyrinthine disorders associated with glucose-insulin index. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients and Methods: A study conducted at the University of São Paulo with 51 patients divided into two groups: Diet Group (DG) that comprises subjects treated with fractionated diet with glucose restriction and control group (CG) where individuals were not counseled regarding diet. Patients underwent computerized dynamic posturography - sensory organization test (CDP - SOT) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the first and thirtieth days of the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of consuming cocoa on blood glucose levels, glucose metabolism, and other markers of pre-diabetes in overweight and/or obese individuals. Our hypothesis is that consumption of cocoa improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in subjects at risk for developing type-2 diabetes.
This study examined whether dietary-induced reductions in lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma affected metabolic profiles in PBMCs and plasma.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PreCrea® on subjects with higher than normal blood sugar levels.
The study is a pilot, designed to provide data regarding the feasibility and acceptability of conducting such a study on a larger scale. The present study is a clinical trial assessing a programs to help people manage prediabetes and lose weight with a low-carbohydrate diet (LC) along with information about positive affect, mindful eating strategies, exercise, and sleep.
Most new mothers in the United States will start off breastfeeding. For some mothers, despite following best practices, they are not able to meet their breastfeeding goals due to unexplained low milk supply. At the same time, nearly 1 in 4 new mothers are pre-diabetic (elevated blood sugar, but not yet diabetic). My progression of research suggests that the same metabolic factors causing pre-diabetes may also be causing low milk supply. Metformin is a widely prescribed drug to treat high blood sugar. This study is a preliminary, small scale randomized trial designed to test for a trend in the hypothesis that metformin is safe and potentially effective in treating low milk supply in insulin resistant and pre-diabetic mothers.
The main aim of the study is to investigate the effects of dietary ingredients (polyphenols and carotenoids) on vascular function during acute glucose load. Each subject will receive 4 weeks of intervention with test product or placebo product after a dietary restriction run-in period of 14 days. Subjects will be challenged with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) immediately after the run-in phase and at the end of the intervention phase. During the OGTT, blood samples will be taken at regular intervals. The study will be conducted in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.
This study hypothesizes that milk protein consumed together or shortly before a white rice or white bread carbohydrate meal exerts different influence on the glycaemic, insulinaemic responses.
Background About 2/3 patients of coronary heart disease (CHD) are complicated with disorder of carbohydrate metabolism which results in hyperglycemia and subsequent abnormality of coagulation system and inflammation. These patients have serious coronary artery pathology, multiple complications and poor prognosis. Platelets and lymphocytes play important roles in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis. The platelet/lymphocyte rate (PLR) is one simple hematological index. Previous studies confirmed that PLR could predict the long-term mortality of non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). If simple hematological index could predict the prognosis of such kind of patients, it will provide new thought for early diagnosis and treatment in future. Therefore, the present study try to investigate if PLR could predict the poor prognosis of CHD patients complicated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) through calculating PLR. Methods/design The present study is performed with strategy of an observational and prospective single-centre cohort. These patients are recruited from August 2013 to August 2014, according to the inclusion criteria of CHD complicated with IGT. CHD is confirmed with coronary angiography while IGT is determined according to the WHO criteria (1999). Routine blood test and serum glucose data of patients are acquired before hospitalization and surgery. According to the median of PLR after admission, the patients are divided into 3 groups. The patients are followed up for half, 1 and 3 years, respectively. The major clinical endpoint is mortality. The minor clinical endpoint indices are the correlations of PLR with MACE (including mortality, recurrent rate of infarction and reperfusion rate of target vessels), recurrent infarction, re-perfusion rate of target vessel, intra-stand thrombogenesis, stroke and acute onset of heart failure. The correlations are analyzed with receiver operating characteristics (ROC) survival curve and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to find optimal prognosis index. Summary Through regression analysis of long-term follow-up of patients, it is expected to find optimal predicting index of prognosis. While judging whether PLR is effective, other possible factors for new predictor are sought in order to provide help for future study.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of intermittent fasting in subjects that are eating a Mediterranean diet or a Western diet. This study is part of ongoing research in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases at Washington University School of Medicine.
