Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of pitavastatin in hypercholesterolemic patients with the metabolic syndrome.
The objective of this study is to determine whether targeted pharmacological improvement of insulin sensitivity will normalize the associated elevations of thrombotic and inflammatory cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers in individuals with insulin resistance.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the metabolic effects of anti-androgens and oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), compared with placebo, in the treatment of women with PCOS. We hypothesized that controlling elevated androgen levels with either anti-androgens or OCPs would produce improvement in metabolic markers in PCOS women and would reduce their long term metabolic risk.
This is a randomized trial of an educational intervention to reduce the risk of diabetes among urban American Indian women
The purpose of the randomized trial is to quantify the effect of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and systemic inflammation and other cardiometabolic outcomes in ambulatory adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
The metabolic syndrome has been recognized as a proinflammatory state. It has been shown that many different diets such as Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, Foods with low glycemic index and low saturated fat diet, independent of weight loss, may be effective in improving the metabolic syndrome. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen levels in metabolic syndrome.
this study was conducted to assess the insulin resistance indices in the subjects undergoing Ramadan fasting (diet which consisted of two meals at 12 hours intervals)for a thirty days period.
The LIPGENE Human Dietary Intervention Study, multi-centre, trans -European, single-blinded, randomised, controlled trial with two principal aims. Firstly to determine the relative efficacy of reducing dietary SFA consumption, by altering quality of dietary fat and reducing the quantity of dietary fat, on metabolic and molecular risk factors of the metabolic syndrome. Secondly to determine if common genetic polymorphisms affect an individual's responsiveness to dietary therapy.
Immigrants from South Asia in Norway have a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and conditions related to the metabolic syndrome. It has been documented that these conditions may be prevented by changes in lifestyle. No previous intervention studies on immigrants with focus on diet and physical activity have been carried out in Norway. This project concerns a randomized controlled trial with intervention to change diet and physical activity in 200 high risk female Pakistani immigrants living in Oslo. The intervention will be evaluated both in terms of outcome and process.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Aliskiren on insulin resistance (IR) and endothelial dysfunction (ED) in patients with high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. The efficacy of Aliskiren was compared to Amlodipine.
