Filter by:This clinical trial is designed to study the effects of pregnane X receptor activator rifampicin on the glucose, lipid and hormone homeostasis in healthy volunteers. The main hypothesis is that rifampicin raises postprandial glucose studied with oral glucose tolerance test. The study is a non-randomized, one-phase, open-label trial. Twelve subjects will be given 600 mg of rifampicin a day for a week. The main outcome measures are the changes in the glucose and insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance test.
Hypomagnesemia is common in renal transplant recipients and is mainly because of enhanced renal magnesium wasting, caused by immunosuppressive drugs (calcineurin inhibitors). Glucose metabolism disorders, including insulin resistance and decreased insulin secretion, are also prevalent post-transplantation and often precede the development of diabetes. As magnesium supplementation has been demonstrated to increase insulin sensitivity in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, its potential therapeutic supplementation (post-transplantation) deserves further examination. The hypothesis is that magnesium supplementation in renal transplant recipients exerts a beneficial effect on insulin resistance and/or secretion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of feeding frequency on glucose and insulin metabolism and substrate partitioning.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether different protein diets affects glucose and insulin metabolism and substrate partitioning.
Insulin resistance typically characterizes type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and prediabetic states and is the prominent feature of the metabolic syndrome.Adiponectin plays an important part in glucose metabolism,insulin resistance, the deterioration of renal function.we hypothesize there is a difference serum adiponectin levels between obese and non-obese women with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, these two groups would respond difference to the RAs blocker(Losartan).
This study is a randomised, placebo-controlled study of the effect of treatment with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, pravastatin, in HIV-infected, protease inhibitor treated patients with high serum cholesterol. We hypothesise that pravastatin will result in greater reductions in cholesterol than placebo when used in conjunction with appropriate dietary advice.
