Filter by:The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of equivalent diet- or exercise-induced weight loss and related insulin resistance in abdominally obese women.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of spironolactone and furosemide on insulin resistance in patients with chronic heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of losartan, an ARB, on glucose metabolism and inflammatory cytokines in CHF patients treated with ACE inhibitors.
Observational, Cross-sectional, longitudinal, multi-center, diagnostic study Cross-sectional part of the study: To evaluate the influence of acromegaly on glucose tolerance Longitudinal part of the study: To evaluate the changes of impaired glucose tolerance during standard treatment of acromegaly. Adult patients with established acromegaly Cross-sectional part of the study: 150 patients Longitudinal part of the study: 58 patients
To elucidate the effect of preoperative supplementation of carbohydrate and branched-chain amino acids on postoperative insulin resistance in patients undergoing hepatic resection, we set a randomized trial.
We hypothesize that the hearts of HIV+ people with The Metabolic Syndrome use and oxidize fats and sugars inappropriately, and that this may impair the heart's ability to pump blood. We hypothesize that exercise training or pioglitazone (Actos) will improve fat and sugar metabolism in the hearts of HIV+ people with The Metabolic Syndrome. This study will advance our understanding of cardiovascular disease in HIV+ people, and will test the efficacy of exercise training and pioglitazone for improving insulin resistance, heart metabolism and heart function in this at risk population.
The broad goal of this study is to understand the mechanisms by which Vitamin D receptor activation leads to changes in insulin signaling in advanced uremia. We hypothesize that 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 deficiency due to advanced chronic kidney disease leads to insulin resistance and that administration of a vitamin D3 analog will restore insulin sensitivity in End Stage Renal Disease patients.
No proven treatment exists for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children and adolescents. We aim to determine the efficacy of lifestyle intervention with or without antioxidant therapy in pediatric NAFLD.
The purpose of the study is to investigate some of the mechanisms behind severe insulin resistance and to determine the dose response to insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if co-treatment of acromegalic patients, who beforehand are considered well-controlled on SA monotherapy, with pegvisomant and SA will improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and if these effects of co-treatment can be obtained at a neutral cost as compared to SA mono therapy. Second to investigate body composition, substrate metabolism, symptoms, intrahepatic and intramyocellular fat.
