To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Allergan CoolSculpting® system using CoolAdvantage applicators for non-invasive subcutaneous fat reduction of the upper arms and inner thighs in participants of Chinese descent.
Hardening of the blood vessels, called arterial stiffness, is a risk factor for future heart disease and its causes are unclear. The proposed study will 1) randomly assign adolescents at high risk of stiffening blood vessels to take a protein supplement called carnitine and study its effects on arterial stiffening and 2) study carnitine related genes for their effect on arterial stiffening. The study will definitively establish a role for carnitine action as a cause of stiffening blood vessels and signal a way to treat or prevent stiffening.
The primary objective in this proposed study is to determine the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation compared to standard care metformin treatment, and fish oil in combination with metformin on plasma lipids and apoB-remnant lipoprotein metabolism in overweight-obese young women with PCOS.
This prospective study aims to assess the feasibility and implementation of a plant-based, weight-loss program in an office setting. The study will also assess changes in body weight, blood pressure, plasma lipids, glycated hemoglobin, and body composition with a 12-week, plant-based, weight-loss program. These health benefits may illustrate feasibility to physicians and healthcare professionals elsewhere.
Open-label, baseline-controlled, multi-center study evaluating a 1064 nm diode laser, pulsed electromagnetic fields and vacuum assisted radio frequency for non-invasive fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks.
The present research protocol will analyze whether a short-term modification (one week) of dietary habits would have an impact on the postprandial metabolism of dietary fatty acids and on their uptake by non-adipose tissues, in healthy subjects. Each subject will participate in two protocols randomly determined and separated by a period of one month: a 7-day isocaloric diet (Protocol A) and a 7-day carbohydrate-rich diet containing +50% of the subject's energy needs. (Protocol B). At the end of each diet, the subject will go through a postprandial metabolic study of 8 hours where different parameters will be measured thanks to PET imaging and perfusions of stables isotopes.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether MCT oil is effective in the change of blood lipid profile and body compositions on overweight or obese women aged 20-45.
This study will examine markers of vascular endothelial function (vascular health) and metabolic profiles in younger versus older transgender women (people who were assigned male at birth but whose gender identity is female). Data will also be compared to those from cisgender women and men.
The rationale of this research is that deep phenotyping of individuals at the extremes of cholesterol efflux will identify key determinants of efflux that are potential novel therapeutic targets to prevent or reverse Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD). The investigators propose to carry out the objective by studying participants at extreme low and high cholesterol efflux identified from the investigator's study in the population-based Dallas Heart Study by accomplishing the following aims: 1) determine the heritability of and genomic factors associated with cholesterol efflux by establishing a family pedigree of extreme low and high efflux and sequencing candidate genes involved in HDL metabolism; and 2) identify the protein and lipid signature of extreme low and high cholesterol efflux in a sex- and ethnicity-specific manner using mass spectroscopy and ELISA in FPLC-derived fractions. The investigators expect to identify genetic variants and sex- and ethnicity-specific combinations of proteins and lipids in participants with extreme low and high efflux that may lead to novel ways to modulate efflux. This proposal leverages a well-phenotyped population-based study to characterize the gene-protein-lipid signature of 1) extremes of cholesterol efflux in a sex- and ethnicity-specific manner. Successful completion of these aims will have immediate and direct impact on the use of cholesterol efflux as a clinically relevant biomarker of therapeutic benefit and are necessary for the clinical development of appropriate new targets for manipulation of the key atheroprotective function of cholesterol efflux to reduce ASCVD.
