Filter by:Nutrients and chemicals in food are able to regulate expression of genetic elements. Gene-nutrient interaction in response specific diets can increase an individual's risk, shifting the individual from health toward the development of chronic disease. The Transcription Factor 7 Like 2 (TCF7L2) gene may either put individuals at risk for or protect from Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the presence of certain foods. The main purpose of this four-week study is to examine diet-induced gene-nutrient interaction, with a focus on glucose, insulin, inflammation (CRP) and the plasma metabolome in individuals who have either the CC or the TT form of the rs7903146 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (C/T) within the TCF7L2 gene. The (2) one-week study diets, one Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) based and the other low-fat based will be separated by a (1) week return to a regular habitual diet.
Multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT)
The intention is to study presumed changes in daily practice, probably due to New Guidelines concerning stroke patients. The impression is more frequent measurements of blood pressure, serum glucose, troponin and supplementary computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Animal studies have found that vitamin K-dependent proteins matrix Gla protein and osteocalcin beneficially influence lipid and glucose metabolism, respectively. However, this concept has not been tested in humans at risk for dyslipidemia and diabetes risk. Vitamin K supplementation presents an opportunity to test the hypothesized link between the vitamin K-dependent proteins and markers of lipid and glucose metabolism. The investigators will conduct an 8-week vitamin K intervention (to manipulate carboxylation of matrix Gla protein and osteocalcin) and determine its effects on markers of dyslipidemia and diabetes risk. Sixty obese children will be randomly allocated to either the control group receiving placebo or the low-dose (45 mcg/d) or high-dose group (90 mcg/d) receiving vitamin K (menaquinone-7).
Study population : 90 Participants. 60 with T1DM , and 30 healthy controls. T1DM patients will be recruited by research publication in diabetes mellitus forums. Baseline visit: informed consent signing. Medical history data, vital signs, physical exam and neurocognitive testing. Capillary glucose prior to testing > 70 mg/dl. Session 2 - combined simultaneous EEG , continuous glucose monitor system (CGMS) assessment, neurocognitive testing, and sleep quality assessment. Participants will be hospitalized for 30 hours in the continuous-EEG unit at the Pediatric Neurology Department, Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center. Continuous simultaneous EEG and CGMS monitoring, and two separate sessions of neurocognitive assessments at glucose > 240 mg/dl and at glucose < 180 mg/dl, respectively. Neurocognitive assessment will be performed after lunch on day 1, and after lunch on day 2. Day 1, regular insulin dose before lunch, and a cognitive assessment which will be performed with glucose level > 70 mg/dl and below 180 mg/dl. On day 2, with no regular insulin dose before lunch and the same cognitive test will be performed with glucose level > 240 mg/dl During the 30 hours the participants will be connected to continuous EEG recording, sleep monitoring and CGMS. The study participants and research team will be blinded to the EEG and CGMS readings while recorded. Participants will be able to convey their daily activities in their room. They will have their regular diet and regular daily activities. Participants will measure at least 4 blood glucose measurements by prick tests, insulin management by multiple daily injections or pump therapy and meals. Healthy participants will measure twice daily as required for CGMS calibration. The participants will stay connected to the CGMS for additional 4 days at their home setting for complete sleep quality assessment by sleep diary and actigraph. The first night in hospital is to assess the association between actigraph and EEG and CGMS variability. The 4 nights at home are for assessment of CGMS, quality of life and actigraph readings. Control group (healthy) will perform only one session of neurocognitive studies on day 1, after lunch with no insulin injection and will be discharged after 24 hours, with the CGMS and actigraph
In this study, the investigators will test the hypothesis that acute in vivo exposure to hyperglycemia increases mitochondrial network fragmentation and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production (ROS) production in human arterial endothelial cells.
Reduction of postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG) is a major target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Skipping breakfast has been consistently associated with higher HbA1c and overall PPHG in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to explore the effect of skipping vs eating breakfast on PPHG after subsequent isocaloric (700kcal) lunch and dinner
This is a single-centre, 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-treatment arm pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BTI320 in the treatment of high risk subjects with pre-diabetes. This is a pilot study aiming to test whether taking a medicine named BTI320 that slows down carbohydrate absorption in the gut, will lower blood sugar. The study aims to recruit 60 individuals in Hong Kong. To take part in the study, subjects must have pre-diabetes, that is, they have blood sugar levels that are above normal but not reaching diabetes range. The medicine BTI320 is currently licensed as a health supplement in Hong Kong and is known alternatively as SUGARDOWN®. The investigators are comparing the effectiveness of BTI320 against a dummy tablet. Both tablets look and taste identical and during the study, subjects will not know which of these tablets they are taking. There is a 4 in 5 chance of receiving active medication and 1 in 5 chance of receiving placebo. Subjects will be followed up closely every 2 to 4 weeks for a period of time up to 22 weeks. The study visits will take between 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on additional checks that are required on a particular visit including oral glucose tolerance test and meal tolerance test. At visits involving meal tolerance test, subjects will be required to stay for approximately 3 hours. In addition, at Visit 2, Visit 4 and 3 days before Visit 7, a continuous glucose monitoring system device will be installed. Throughout the study period, subjects will return to the study center for check-ups including careful enquiry about whether they have developed any side-effects from taking the medication, physical examination, as well as blood tests.
Genetic factors contribute to risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as blood lipids, blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and may also influence dietary choices, physical activity, and responses to stress. The most robust genetic variant associated with myocardial infarction (MI) is the 9p21 variant, which may raise the risk of MI by up to 40% in those who carry 2 copies of the gene. The investigators recently found that among those who carry the 9p21 variant, the risk of MI may be "turned off" if individuals eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables. The investigators seek to determine how a "prudent" or "anti-inflammatory" diet interacts with the 9p21 risk allele to alter the risk of MI.
The purpose of this study is to study the use of a counterbalancing system of glucose and insulin infusion with frequent blood glucose monitoring and combined adaptive algorithm can produce tight glycemic control without hypoglycemia; study to develop a closed loop for use in intensive care units and surgery
