Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether telmisartan and/or a low-glycemic index diet are effective in reducing intra-myocellular lipid (muscle fat) content.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chromium (yeast), is effective in improving glycaemic control and insulin resistance.
Foods containing more dairy fat (and thus a higher proportion of short and medium chain fatty acids and possibly some other nutrients or micronutrients with effect on energy intake, satiety or energy metabolism) affect energy balance and metabolic profile in subjects prone to develop abdominal adiposity and metabolic syndrome. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that intake of dairy products has a favorable effect on markers of the metabolic syndrome. To explore such a hypothesis the participants have to be in a free living situation during an extended study period.
Other effects of fluvastatin are investigated in German patients with metabolic syndrome.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of recombinant human growth hormone plus rosiglitazone (an insulin-sensitizing drug) is safe and more effective than either drug alone (or no active therapy) for the treatment of fat accumulation in people with HIV infection and insulin resistance.
This study will determine the effects of a supplement in reducing symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a collection of symptoms that increase the risk for developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chromium supplements can reduce symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a collection of symptoms that increase one's risk for developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
To test the effects of exercise and weight loss on mobility disability of older overweight/obese men and women who have evidence of cardiovascular disease or the metabolic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate levels of inflammatory mediators in children at risk for cardiovascular disease due to family history. We are measuring inflammatory markers in two groups of children and their parents: children with a family history of early atherosclerotic heart disease (cases), and healthy children without such a family history (controls). The design is a cross-sectional study, gathering a fasting blood sample and clinical and behavioral data on children and a parent.
Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased inflammatory cytokines and reduced adiponectin, that may be mediated in part by TNF production from abdominal fat. We reasoned that an anti-TNF agent would reduce C-reactive protein (CRP) and increase adiponectin, improving the inflammatory milieu associated with metabolic syndrome.
