Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of a single session of exercise on changes in the cellular composition of the body fat of humans.
This experiment consists on a 20-day reduction in daily step in free-living active individuals to induce physical inactivity. This will be used to test the efficacy of the anti-oxidant cocktail we aim to test as a new countermeasure in 2016 during the 60-d bed rest planed by ESA/CNES. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the cocktail of natural antioxidants XXS-2A comprising vitamin E and coupled with omega-3 helps to prevent and / or reduce the glucose intolerance and improve oxidative defenses induced by 20 days of physical inactivity through daily step reduction Although physical inactivity is reported to affect glucose tolerance within days of inactivity, we selected a period of 20 days for the effect of the cocktail to take place and assess secondary molecular mechanisms. The effect of this short period of inactivity on metabolism will moreover be boosted during the last 10 days by taking fructose, a sugar found in abundance in fruits, honey and juices, which is known to quickly trigger metabolic deregulation.
Aim of the study is to investigate genes regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in subjects whose glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, blood flow, or body fat distribution has been measured using positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) or computed tomography (CT) as part of their previous participation in clinical trials conducted at Turku PET Centre. By combining information from PET, MRI, CT, proteomics, metabolomics and genetics analyses we aim to find connection between genetic variation and metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
Objective: Arterial blood gas (ABG) is essential in the clinical assessment of potential acutely ill patients venous to arterial conversion (v-TAC), a mathematical method, has recently been developed to convert peripheral venous blood gas (VBG) values to arterialized VBG (aVBG) values. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of aVBG compared to ABG in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Method: Consecutive patients admitted to the ICU with pH values <7,35 or >7,45 are included in this study. Paired ABG and aVBG samples are drawn from patients via arterial catheter, central venous catheter and/or peripheral venous catheter and compared.
The effect of cholecystectomy on postprandial plasma GLP-1 responses (primary endpoint) and glucose metabolism will be evaluated in 30 patients planned to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Healthy male participants are recruited to observe potentially deleterious changes in appetite regulation and metabolic control. Participants will be provided with an energy intake representative of their daily requirements on the first day of one trial and will be provided with an additional 50% energy intake on the first day of another trial. Outcome variables will be assessed during the second day of each trial in response to a fixed mixed macronutrient meal tolerance test.
Development of a new MS-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Tyrosinemia type 1 from blood (plasma)
This study will determine whether exposure to short-term high blood glucose levels impairs exercise-induced adaptations in glucose tolerance, and whether the pattern of high blood glucose levels plays a role.
Analyzed iron status, HFE mutations and ethnicity for women in five primary care centers in the United States and Canada using de-identified data from the HEIRS study.
The purpose of the study is to investigate, in healthy middle age subjects, effects of whole grain rye on cognitive functions, mood, and cardiovasculair risk markers
