Filter by:The proposed study builds upon preliminary studies in self-selected populations to identify opportunities for early identification of World Trade Center-related health consequences in adolescents. If adverse health consequences are identified, proactive cardiometabolic and pulmonary screening of exposed children may be indicated, with targeted interventions intended to prevent development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes in adulthood.
The purpose of this study is to determine the health benefits of cranberry extract in people who are at risk for diabetes and heart problems.
Elective colectomy procedures typically require bowel preparation starting 2 days prior to the surgery. Osmotic laxatives such as Colyte® are administered 2 days prior, and Nothing by mouth (NPO) is required 1 day prior to ensure no fecal residue is left in the bowel. Though it may ensure a cleaner and safer surgery, this longer period of starvation increases insulin resistance and may increase post-op complications. However, there is evidence that administration of oral rehydration solution(ORS) prior to surgery reduces insulin resistance. Our purpose is to evaluate the difference of insulin resistance in those who received ORS 1 day prior to surgery and those who did not.
The aim of this study is to investigate the markers of bone mineral metabolism in an unconfounded group of patients with hypogonadism and to search for a relationship between endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance.
The purpose of the study is to see if a twelve-week exercise intervention in overweight or obese subjects with pre-diabetes or early disease course type 2 diabetes can lead to improved skeletal muscle capillary blood flow by improving substances that dilate blood vessels and result in improved insulin sensitivity.
We examined the effects of short-term (2-wk) consumption of HF- and HG-sweetened beverages in adolescents (15-20 yr of age) on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, insulin clearance, triacylglycerol (TAG), and cholesterol concentrations.
Renal denervation has recently shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in addition to reducing blood pressure. The mechanisms are however unclear. The investigators hypothesize that renal denervation alters adipose tissue function by reduced sympathetic outflow, measured by fat biopsies and markers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. 15 clinical patients undergoing renal denervation are recruited to the study investigating anthropometry, peripheral blood samples, body composition, heart rate variability and subcutaneous fat biopsies at baseline and 6 months after renal denervation.
Insulin Clamp Ancillary study for Assessment of Insulin Resistance will be conducted as a sub-study to the main protocol, Metformin Therapy for Overweight Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes (NCT01881828). The purpose of this ancillary study is to assess if metformin will improve tissue-specific insulin resistance (IR) in type 1 diabetes using a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp; a 3-month randomized trial comparing metformin versus placebo in 12 to <20 year olds with BMI >85th percentile ( total daily insulin dose >0.7 units/kg, and HbA1c 7.0%-9.9%).
The investigators will use exercise training and weight loss to discover localized lipid species related to diabetes risk in people.
High intensity interval training is applied for several diseases. Hypothesis: High intensity interval training improves insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes.
