The study was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin d3 alone and in combination with calcium phosphate on bone metabolism and further physiological parameters in healthy subjects. It is postulated that calcium phosphate beneficially influences the bone specific action of vitamin d3.
Background: - Corticosteroids have been used to treat inflammation and immune system diseases for decades. However, despite their widespread use, there is little information on the specifics of how corticosteroids affect the immune system in humans. The Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases is interested in studying how the steroid hormone hydrocortisone affects the immune system in healthy volunteers, and in doing so to understand how hydrocortisone given at different doses works in treating many immune and inflammatory conditions. Objectives: - To evaluate the effects of hydrocortisone on the immune and inflammatory responses of healthy volunteers over the short and intermediate term (up to 28 days after administration). Eligibility: - Healthy volunteers at least 18 years of age. Design: - Participants will be screened with a full medical history and physical examination, and blood and urine tests. At this visit, participants will be separated into two groups, with each group scheduled to receive a different amount of hydrocortisone during the study visit. - One week before the study visit, participants will provide a blood sample for baseline testing. - Participants will be admitted for a 24-hour inpatient stay that will involve frequent blood draws. Between blood draws, participants will be able to work, watch TV, walk around, and so on, and will be provided with regular meals. - Blood will be drawn 1 hour before the infusion of hydrocortisone. Participants will be divided into two further sets of groups with different blood draw schedules: - Groups 1 (lower dose) and 2 (higher dose) will have blood draws 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after the hydrocortisone infusion. - Groups 3 (lower dose) and 4 (higher dose) will have multiple blood draws over 24 hours, with timing based on data from the previous groups blood test results. - Participants will provide additional blood samples 7 and 28 days after the in-patient visit....
This placebo-controlled crossover study is intended to measure the effect of four doses of lorazepam on brain activity measured by magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). This study will conduct MEG and EEG scans as well as simple cognition testing on 16 healthy male volunteers. On each of five study days subjects will be randomized to receive either 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mg lorazepam or placebo. Brain activity will be measured by MEG and EEG in each subject a total of 4 times each study day: prior to medication administration and 2, 4, and 6 hours after medication administration. Blood samples to determine medication levels and cognition testing will be performed at pre-medication baseline and immediately after each post-medication scan time. Data will be analyzed to identify changes in brain activity compared to baseline and placebo administration using both standard approaches and the Orasi Synchronous Neural Interaction® (SNI) test. This study will test the hypothesis that dose-response changes in brain functional activity can be accurately measured by MEG/EEG in healthy volunteer subjects after single, acute doses of lorazepam.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of diltiazem on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of E5555 and its metabolites in healthy subjects.
This study will be a single-center, open-label, randomized, 3-treatment crossover bioavailability study of single oral doses of E5501 old tablet formulation under fasted conditions and a new tablet formulation administered under fed and fasted conditions in healthy subjects.
The study will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center, 2 treatment,3-way crossover to investigate the pharmacodynamics, i.e. the flush-symptom of a single oral repeated dose of 500 mg nicotinic acid in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomly allocated to a treatment sequence - AAB, ABA or BAA. The two treatments will be: - Treatment A: 500 mg nicotinic acid - Treatment B: Placebo
Background: - Rates of obesity have increased dramatically in recent decades, and researchers are investigating how changes in diets and physical activity have contributed to this increase. To understand how weight might be controlled, it is important to learn what kinds of dietary changes can affect hunger and might lower body weight. Essential fatty acids, for instance, are an important part of a healthy diet, but researchers have not yet determined the ideal amount of essential fatty acids that people should eat. By studying how different diets affect body chemistry and hormone levels in women who are overweight or obese, researchers hope to be able to determine better diets or treatments to help people reach and maintain an optimum healthy weight. Objectives: - To examine how certain fats in the diet affect body metabolism, hormones, and weight regulation. Eligibility: - Healthy women between 18 and 50 years of age who are overweight or obese (body mass index between 25 and 35). Design: - This study has an initial screening visit and three phases. All participants will be involved in the first two phases of the study, and some participants will be involved in the third phase. - Participants will be screened with a physical examination and medical history, in addition to blood and urine tests and questionnaires about eating habits and other diet factors. - Phase 1: Participants will have three visits to the National Institutes of Health over a 4-week period. At the visits, participants will have blood and urine tests, complete questionnaires, and have other tests including brain and body imaging studies. Participants will then be assigned to one of three study diets. - Phase 2: Participants will have a 12-week diet phase, with all foods supplied by the study researchers. Participants will keep a daily log of food and beverage intake, and will have three testing sessions with procedures similar to those performed in Phase 1. - Phase 3: Participants assigned to a particular study diet (one-third of all participants) will be given the option of continuing the diet for an additional 36 weeks (9 months), with food consumption, monitoring, and testing procedures similar to those performed in Phase 2....
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose (SD) pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and tolerability of 10, 40, and 80 mg E5501 followed by a selected dose for multiple dosing (MD) in healthy Japanese, Chinese, and Caucasian subjects.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups to receive the following vaccines: Group 1: 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7vPnC) and diphtheria, tetanus, and accelular pertussis vaccine (DTaP), Group 2: DTaP alone. Group 2 subjects will also receive catch-up doses of 7vPnC. The study vaccines will be open-label. The main purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the immune responses as measured by serum antibody responses to diphtheria toxin, tetanus toxin, pertussis toxin (PT) and filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) induced by DTaP given concomitantly with 7vPnC are comparable to the immune responses induced by DTaP given alone. In addition, the study aims to evaluate the side effects (safety profile) after vaccination of 7vPnC when given with DTaP in healthy Japanese infants.
