Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intranasal FE 992097 in children and adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
The P300 is one of the cognitive wave of the Event-Related Potential (ERP) that is used to investigate the cognitive process. The P300 component are accepted as electro-physiological markers of neuropsychiatric disorders like alcoholism or drug addiction. Recent scientific data suggest that eating disorders, leading to weight gain and obesity, will be similar of those of drug addiction: it is the incentive sensitization theory that implicates the dopaminergic reward system. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the alteration of P300 auditory ERP in obese women with eating disorders in comparison with obese and lean women without eating disorders.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as it modifies hyperphagia in obese subjects, non-obese subjects, and subjects with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
This is a study of treatment approaches aimed to improve self-control and decrease stress and unhealthy/maladaptive behaviors such as drinking, overeating, and smoking. High levels of stress may make it harder to maintain self-control, especially when trying to control our unhealthy behaviors. Training on improving self control and decreasing stress may help decrease unhealthy behaviors. The goal of this new training program will be to decrease a subject's unhealthy behavior by helping them better manage their stress and improve their self control over unhealthy habits.
It has been shown that large fat cells are associated with more risks for insulin resistance and more cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol or triglycerides.
There is a need for effective weight control methods for obese children. Environmental strategies such as reducing the size of dishware and serving utensils, storing food out of view and reducing food consumption while watching television may reduce food intake without requiring conscious, cognitive self-control. The investigators propose to test these methods when added to a current state-of-the-art behavioral program.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK1521498 will cause weight loss in obese but otherwise healthy subjects with over-eating behaviours.
Objective: To study the effect of fast food-based hyper-alimentation on liver enzymes and hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC)and metabolism. Design: Prospective interventional study with parallel control group. Setting University Hospital of Linköping, Sweden. Participants: 12 healthy men and six healthy women with a mean (SD) age of 26 (6.6) years and a matched control group. Intervention: Subjects in the intervention group aimed for a body weight increase of 5-15% by eating at least two fast food-based meals a day with the goal to double the regular caloric intake in combination with adoption of a sedentary lifestyle for four weeks. Main outcome measures: Weekly changes of serum aminotransferases and HTGC measured by proton nuclear magnetic resonance-spectroscopy at baseline and after the intervention.
