Filter by:Our aim is to investigate the effects of a 12-week structured aerobic exercise on fasting and 2 h glucose, insulin and lipid concentrations in sedentary overweight subjects in whom impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance was observed for the first time.
To examine whether a lifestyle program results in weight loss and thereby delays or prevents progression of pre-diabetes to diabetes, we propose a pilot randomized controlled trial of 6 weeks duration with 30 participants held at Stephanie Tubbs Jones Health Center. Participants are randomized to receive all of the following: nutrition education, exercise instruction, stress management instruction, and culinary education or follow usual care. Outcomes include: blood sugars and cholesterol, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, diet, physical activity, perceived stress, and class attendance. Analysis is by Intention to treat analysis of variance. Results will be used to help design larger randomized trial in the future.
The study will evaluate the effects of resveratrol/leucine and resveratrol/HMB for their ability to control glucose levels in persons without diabetes but with impaired fasting glucose. Secondary assessments will examine the effect of these nutritional supplements versus placebo on inflammation, fasting lipids, HbA1C, and fructosamine, longer term metabolic markers of risk in diabetes.
This research study will examine brain glucose metabolism after an overnight fast to determine the effect of exenatide on brain glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism.
In this proposal,the investigators will examine whether the selectivity of eplerenone for the MR will translate into a better glucose and metabolic profile compare to spironolactone in patients with HF with glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes. In addition, the investigators will also compare the impact of these two agents on changes of concentrations of established prognostic biomarkers of neurohormonal activation and extracellular matrix turnover.
It is known that small dense LDL particles are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. LDL particles can be separated by gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE) according to their size. The risk to suffer from coronary heart disease is 3-7 fold elevated in subjects with small dense LDL particles compared to subjects with large LDL particles. This study aims at evaluating the predictive value of small dense LDL particles in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus concerning future changes in intima media thickness, flow-mediated dilation and other risk factors of atherosclerosis (e.g. insulin resistance). 60 patients with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes will be recruited for the study. Assessment will include medical history (risk factors), physical examination (blood pressure, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio), collection of serum, oral glucose tolerance test, measurement of intima media thickness and endothelial dysfunction by ultrasound. All measurements will be repeated after 2 years. Data will be analysed to assess whether the amount of small dense LDL particles can predict further structural and functional changes of the cardiovascular system or changes in the severity of the disease (insulin resistance).
Objectives: The investigators examined whether rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione (TZD), is beneficial for pre-diabetes mellitus (DM) adults with documented coronary artery disease (CAD). Background: Microvascular and macrovascular complications are common in type 2 DM. There is no evidence about the effects of TZDs, synthetic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ activators (insulin sensitizers and adipose transcriptional regulation and anti-inflammatory process activators) on pre-DM patients with documented CAD.
The Ahmanson-UCLA Cardiomyopathy Center is conducting a clinical research study that will assess the use of the medication metformin to improve quality of life, exercise capacity, and improved outcomes in heart failure patients with pre-DM or early DM (type II). If the patient participates in this study, the patient will receive the drug metformin for approximately 3 months. During the study the patient will undergo comprehensive testing which includes blood draws and echocardiograms. The patient will also fill out a questionnaire. The patient must be 18 years old to participate.
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly growing. Patients with T2DM are at increased risk of developing long term micro- and macrovascular complications. Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) show increased blood glucose levels after an oral glucose load. These subjects have a markedly increased risk of later T2DM development. T2DM development can be prevented or delayed by lifestyle modifications. To support lifestyle changes and reduce the risk of T2DM development, foods containing functional ingredients are being developed. An interesting functional ingredient is protein hydrolysate. An egg protein hydrolysate has been experimentally shown to improve endothelial function, to inhibit plasma angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and to reduce blood pressure in rats. Egg protein hydrolysate could thus be a interesting ingredient to treat the cardiovascular dysfunction associated with T2DM. In the present study, the effects of egg protein hydrolysate will be evaluated in subjects with overweight or moderate obesity and IGT or T2DM.
The purpose of this study is to prevent the professional drivers from pre-diabetes to diabetes.
