Filter by:Gut microbiota ecology is altered in obesity and could link obesity and its complications. Bariatric surgery enables a major and sustained weight loss therefore improving obesity related disease. the investigators primary aim is to evaluate gut microbiota adaptation to weight loss and the specific role of energetic restriction. Furthermore we aim to compare gut flora of obese patients post bariatric surgery to that of lean healthy volunteers. Thus, the investigators plan to compare gut microbiota from 140 obese individuals before and after either restrictive (gastric banding) procedures or gastric bypass procedures to that of 40 lean healthy volunteers at baseline.
Main objective : The purpose of this study is to prove that the effects of bacterial endotoxin and cytokine TNF-α, on protein loss, fatty acid release, and glucose metabolism depend on two mechanisms: 1. Direct local effects in muscle tissue. 2. Activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis and a stress-hormone response Study protocols: 1. Acute metabolic effects of TNF-α(Beromun, Boehringer-Ingelheim Germany) vs placebo perfused into the femoral artery of the leg in 8 healthy subjects. 2. Acute metabolic effects of - placebo(saline) - endotoxin(US standard reference E.Coli, endotoxin) - TNF-α(Beromun, Boehringer-Ingelheim Germany) given systemically - in 8 patients with hypopituitarism(to block stress hormone release) and in 8 healthy subjects all studied thrice.
The study is designed as an interventional (as blood investigations will be done) dietary survey of diabetic & non-diabetic population sample of India to understand & compare dietary patterns among them.The study objective is to find out amount of carbohydrate content of daily diet of diabetic population study . This study does not intend to study the effect of any drugs. There will be 2 groups : Type 2 diabetics and non diabetic population. The study will begin after the study approval by ethics committee. The subject will involved after they sign the consent form. The study involves general examination of patients, collection of data like history of disease, interview by dietitian with the help of questionnaire, blood investigations (only in diabetic population only) and glycaemic control status of only diabetic population.The study is planned to be enroll 800 subjects (400 in each groups) from 10 study centers spread across India. The study data will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.
The purpose of this study is to quantify the systemic inflammatory and metabolic response of lean subjects and obese subjects to the ingestion of three caloric doses of a high-fat meal.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the conversion of OP to OC in individual X and the family member of individual X. The investigators hypothesize that one or more of the single nucleoprotein polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CES1 gene represent a clinically important functional polymorphism.
The purpose of this study is to compare ways of giving advice and providing support to improve diet and physical activity in adult primary care patients with elevated body mass index and dysglycemia.
This Phase 1 study has been designed to evaluate the absolute bioavailability of PF-04950615 (RN316) in subjects with hypercholesterolemia who are not currently on lipid-lowering therapy.
Studies of the human gut microbiome have suggested that treatment or prevention aimed at the obese microbiome could influence the development of obesity-associated metabolic disturbances. The objective of this project is to explore if a dietary intervention in 60 obese women with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp paracasei F19 or flax seed fibres targeting the gut microbiome, can reduce insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation or dyslipidaemia, and to explore the interaction between the human genome and the gut microbiome. The study is based on the following hypotheses: - Treatment with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp paracasei F19 and flax seed fibres will lower the metabolic risk profile in the intervention groups compared with placebo. - The effect on the metabolic risk markers can be correlated with changes in the gut microbiota (measured in faeces). After completion of the dietary intervention, the participants are offered a 10-week weight reduction program. Those who participate in the weight-loss program are invited to an optional follow-up visit in connection with the last visit at the clinical dietician, for the purpose of exploring the effect of weight loss on the gut microbiota and obesity-associated metabolic disturbances.
Glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) can be present in an overt and a subclinical way. They have negative impact in survival of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Their prevalence has not been determined in compensated cirrhotic patients.
The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in patients with inherited metabolic disorders.
