Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of adiposity on resistance to insulin's ability to suppress hepatic glucose production and to stimulate peripheral glucose metabolism in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. In addition, this study will also examine the role of fatty liver disease on the insulin resistance of obesity in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to test the potential ability of vinegar to significantly decrease visceral fat in healthy adults with "central obesity". During the 8-week trial, participants will either consume a low-dose vinegar pill (control treatment) or a vinegar drink twice per day. Research Aim and Hypothesis H1 Daily vinegar consumption will be associated with loss in visceral fat (as measured by DXA) after 8 weeks compared to the placebo treatment (low-vinegar pill) in a group of healthy adults with "central obesity". H2 Daily vinegar consumption will be associated with a decrease in abdominal circumference after 8 weeks compared to the placebo treatment (low-vinegar pill) in a group of healthy adults with "central obesity".
The objective of this study was to determine how metabolic and inflammatory effects of physical exercise in overweight individuals are altered when sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are consumed after physical exercise. A randomized, controlled crossover trial was performed in which participants performed exercise with and without the ingestions of SSB during exercise or a non-exercise control condition to evaluate metabolic and inflammatory responses one day after the exercise and or SSB treatment.
The goal of this study is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of whole-body and tissue-specific glucose metabolism after consuming a mixed meal in lean people and people with obesity, before and after 20-35% weight loss induced by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
The aim of the intervention is to gain insight into the long term effect of dietary fatty acid quality on insulin sensitivity and health parameters in healthy men. Whole body and peripheral insulin sensitivity were measured, together with analyses of plasma hormones and metabolites. The plasma proteome was also analyzed. Molecular adaptations in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue were subject for investigation. Furthermore, gut microbiota population number and diversity will be analyzed from faeces samples obtained before and after the intervention.
Insufficient or disrupted sleep, lack of physical activity and poor diet are linked with obesity and are now potential targets to combat obesity. Sleep related issues have become more important as people have been able to work, socialize, and use electronic devices outside of daylight hours. This has also altered how we eat and how we exercise. All of these factors can cause the body to not handle glucose (sugar) well resulting in insulin resistance. In time this could lead to type 2 diabetes.
The present trial is a pilot study to investigate the effect of auricular acupressure on insulin resistance in women with PCOS.A total of 100 subjects will be enrolled into this study and will be randomized into two groups. Auricular acupressure or sham auricular acupressure will be treated for three months. The primary outcome is the whole body insulin action assessed with HOMA-IR.
Background: Diabetes has been associated with many cancers including liver, pancreas, endometrial, colorectal, breast and bladder cancer. Excess body fat has also been linked to cancer. One reason for this might be resistance to insulin. Researchers want to look for links between insulin, diabetes, and certain cancers. They want to study data that has already been collected. Objectives: To study links between insulin, diabetes, and cancers. To study how the links might differ by gender, race, and other factors. Eligibility: People who already participated in 1 of 8 cardiovascular disease studies Design: Researchers will study data that has already been collected. There will be no active participants. Participants gave permission to share their data. The data contain no personally identifying information. Researchers will look at biomarkers like diet, medicines, and tobacco use. They will do statistical analysis of the data
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 6-months program of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) on lifestyle, physical activity levels, insulin resistance and adipokines, oxidative stress, microcirculatory haemodynamics and serum levels of specific circulating miRNA in post-menopausal, physically inactive breast cancer patients in oncologic follow-up with or without hormone therapy that had completed adjuvant treatment (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) . Furthermore, the study will determine the impact of APA on functional capabilities, on self-reported physical activity, quality of life and psychic health.
This study pilots the feasibility and acceptability of a family-based lifestyle intervention for decreasing diabetes risk called "Salud sin Barreras" (meaning, "Health without Barriers") delivered in the community to Latino teens at risk for type 2 diabetes. This program combines traditional lifestyle intervention to change eating and physical activity with learning mindfulness-based stress reduction tools. We also are exploring how Salud sin Barreras lowers stress and improves insulin resistance in Latino teens, as compared to lifestyle-only intervention, the "La Vida Saludable" (meaning, the Healthy Living Program; HeLP).
