Filter by:PräVaNet is a prospective, 1:1 randomized, controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a new, digitalized prevention strategy ("ePrevention") in cardiovascular high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the outpatient sector.
The goal of this factorial randomized controlled trial is to find out whether time-restricted eating and flexitarian diet (on its own and combined) can improve cardiometabolic health markers in normal weight, young men with metabolic abnormalities? Participants will be assigned to four groups: control, flexitarian, time-restricted eating and time-restricted eating + flexitarian. Investigators will look for men with elevated fasting blood glucose or blood lipids level or blood pressure and with normal body weight and waistline. Participants from the flexitarian group will be asked to follow a diet that has been carefully designed for them by the PI and dietitian for the period of 8 weeks. Participants from the control group will receive general healthy eating recommendations. We aim to investigate if the experiment had any effect on changes in metabolic, inflammation and nutritional markers, blood pressure and body weight and composition. Also, the effect of diets on men's sleep, general wellbeing and satisfaction with treatment will be investigated. The proposed study can test a potentially effective nutritional intervention which is feasible to adopt and sustainable (in line with recent planetary diet recommendations). Confirming its effectiveness can fill the research gap, providing new knowledge and approach to the prevention and treatment of metabolic abnormalities in young, lean men.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of an injection study drug in decreasing bilateral flank adiposity. The main question it aims to answer is: •How safe and effective is the injection study drug in removing bilateral flank adiposity compared to a placebo? Participants will be: - Be given injections every month for 5 months over the right and left flanks. - Be asked to be seen in the clinic for 13 visits and 3 phone call visits during a duration of 1 year.
Dairy consumption has shown associations with decreased incidence of cardiometabolic diseases. With the growing interest in plant-based eating, and the mounting evidence for the cardiovascular benefits of plant forward diets, national dietary guidelines have pivoted away from promoting exclusive daily dairy consumption. Soymilk is the most nutritionally comparable non-dairy plant-based alternative to cow's milk. Although the DGA, Health Canada, and various pediatric associations recognize fortified soymilk as the only non-dairy alternative equivalent to cow's milk and it can carry an approved health claim for coronary heart disease risk reduction based on the soy protein that it contains, soymilk is classified by the NOVA classification as an ultra-processed food (the opposite of the classification of cow's milk as an unprocessed or minimally processed food). To be an acceptable iso-sweet alternative to cow's milk, soymilk is also often sweetened with sucrose, which is designated as an added sugar, whereas the lactose that sweetens cow's milk is not (despite lactose in cow's milk being present in quantities that are double that of sucrose in soymilk products designed to be iso-sweet analogues of cow's milk). With near universal recommendations from major public health authorities to reduce the intake of both ultra-processed foods and added sugars and the FDA proposing to update its "healthy" claim criteria to limit added sugars, the role of soymilk as a "healthy" non-dairy alternative to cow's milk is in serious question. The effect of soy protein on other cardiometabolic outcomes is also unclear. To address this question and better inform health claims and guideline development, the investigators will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of soy protein as soy milk, in substitution for cow's milk, on various intermediate cardiometabolic mediators.
CBD may affect metabolic control and energy intake. However, there is currently little data regarding these specific outcomes in humans. Therefore, this study will investigate whether a single 300 mg dose of CBD can improve metabolic control following a meal and/or reduce energy intake at a subsequent meal. Healthy, adult volunteers will complete two conditions in a crossover design, comparing outcomes following both CBD and placebo supplementation.
Purpose The LDL-C is a very important marker of the lipid panel which allows the introduction of a treatment and then the follow-up to prevent the cardiovascular risk. Friedewald et al have established the most widely used equation at the present time. However, it has many well-known limitations, as being false in postprandial period. New equations have been developed recently. Our work consisted in the assessment of the accuracy of Friedewald, Sampson and Martin-Hopkins equations and evaluated the consequences in terms of misclassification. Given that European recommendations allow the realization of lipid profiles in postprandial period, we studied the accuracy of these equations in non-fasting state . Method The LDL cholesterol concentrations will be calculated using at least three different equations (Friedewald, Sampson, Martin-Hopkins). Results will be compared between equations and between calculated and measured concentrations determined using an ultracentrifugation method. The study is conducted out according to The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) and obtained the agreement of the Scientific and Ethics Committee of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (LDL EQUATION CNIL 21_488) Hypothesis To evaluate the most accurate equation in different conditions: - Fasting and non-fasting state - In subjects with normal or dyslipidemic lipid profile To evaluate the clinical impact on risk re-classification and lipid treatment goals if LDL-c is calculated using the best equation instead of the Friedewald's.
This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Obicetrapib in Participants with a History of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and disease in Chile. It explains 27.6% of the causes of death and 14% of disabled adjusted life years in the Chilean population. Low levels of physical activity and low levels of adherence to pharmacological therapy are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in at-risk populations. This project will design and test the effectiveness of a mobile application based on gamification theory for improving cardiovascular disease control in a population of 900 primary care patients with moderate or high cardiovascular risk levels. A randomized controlled trial was designed to test the effect of the App in improving 30% of the levels of physical activity and adherence to pharmacological therapy and a significant reduction of 20% in cardiovascular risk levels.
This a multicenter, Phase 2b, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to provide data on efficacy and safety of LY3561774 administered subcutaneously at various doses in participants with mixed dyslipidemia and on a stable dose of a statin.
When muscles are not contracting, the local energy demand by muscle and use of specific fuels used to produce energy by oxidative metabolism are minimal. The time people spend sitting inactive (sedentary time) typically comprises more than half of the day. This sedentary behavior is associated with elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and multiple conditions leading to poor aging. From a progressive series of experiments, the driving goal is to develop a physiological method for sustaining contractile activity via oxidative metabolism over more time than is possible by traditional exercise (hours, not minutes per day). Developing a physiological method suitable of prolonged muscular activity for ordinary people (who are often unfit) requires gaining fundamental insights about muscle biology and biomechanics. This also entails a careful appreciation of the ability to isolate specific muscles in the leg during controlled movements, such as the soleus muscle during isolated plantarflexion. This includes quantifying specific biological processes that are directly responsive to elevated skeletal muscle recruitment. The investigators will focus on movement that is safe and practical for ordinary people to do given their high amount of daily sitting time. This includes developing methods to optimally raise muscle contractile activity, in a way that is not limited by fatigue, and is feasible throughout as many minutes of the day as possible safely. This also requires development of methodologies to quantify specific muscular activity, rather than generalized body movement. There is a need to learn how much people can increase muscle metabolism by physical activity that is perceived to them as being light effort. It is important to learn if this impacts systemic metabolic processes under experimental conditions over a short term time span in order to avoid confounding influences of changes in body weight or other factors.
