Filter by:Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are considered two of the most prevalent metabolic diseases linked to the onset of knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Regular exercise has been documented as a principal component of a prevention, management, and treatment strategy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. However, evidence-based exercise protocols for individuals with comorbidities such as obesity, T2DM, and KOA are scarce. Thus, the present pragmatic randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a 12-week home-based circuit training (HBCT) protocol on various indicators related to KOA and cardiometabolic health among overweight/obese older adult patients with KOA and T2DM during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: Seventy overweight or obese patients with KOA and T2DM (62.2 ± 6.1 years; 56% female) were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 35, HBCT) or the no-exercise control group (n = 35, CON). HBCT performed a progressive protocol (seven exercises; 15-30 repetitions per exercise, 1 min passive rest between exercises; 2-4 rounds per session; 20-60 min total session duration). The knee injury and osteoarthritis symptoms, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, and renal function were assessed at baseline and following the 12-week intervention. Results: HBCT significantly improved HBCT improved the vast majority of outcomes related to cardiometabolic health and knee osteoarthritis symptoms compared to CON (p<0.05). No significant differences were detected in total bilirubin, sodium, urea, resting heart rate, or KOOS-sport between HBCT and CON. Conclusion: These findings suggest that an injury-free HBCT program may improve several cardiometabolic health- and KOA-related indices in overweight/obese patients with T2DM and KOA. Such results may encourage clinicians and practitioners to adopt real-world exercise training approaches when prescribing physical exercise to patients characterized by impaired metabolic and musculoskeletal health.
the effects of high-intensity interval training on myocardial function will be studied in a group of patients under medical treatment for the components of metabolic syndrome.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that lacks curative therapy. Epidemiological studies show increase in the burden of disease. Total joint arthroplasty is one of the best treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis. However, the specific effects of total joint arthroplasty on cardiovascular risk and metabolic profile are largely unknown. The aim of this project is to elucidate how hip and knee total joint arthroplasty impacts cardiovascular risk and metabolomic profile in comparison with general population. We hypothesize that arthroplasty decreases pain, systemic inflammation levels and increases functional status that all lead to decreased metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
Double-blind and placebo-controlled study on intervention effect of medium and long chain fatty acid triglyceride on glycolipid homeostasis in patients with metabolic syndrome and mechanisms
Non-invasive laser therapy is laser blood irradiation improves many metabolic parameters. So, this study aims to assess the impact of Non-invasive laser therapy on lipid metabolism and renal out comes
The improvement effects of GLAC biotech probiotics contains 5 specialized strains on the biochemical analysis and gut microbiota will be verified in the clinical trial through cooperation with the ADPRC. Through this project, the difference and improvement before and after the GLAC biotech probiotics taking will be clinically validated fromseveral aspects, including blood biochemical values, NGS gut microbiota analysis, GAIS and SCFAs levels. Therefore, by this industry- academic cooperation project, the investigators can explore the improvement of human gut microbiota by GLAC biotech probiotics, to understand the essence of clinical benefit, and the investigators expect the accomplishments of this project can help the consumers understand the added value and excellence of the GLAC products, and thus enhance consumer confidence and expand product markets.
The objective of this clinical trial is to verify whether the beneficial effects of weight loss on visceral fat measured by computed tomography and metabolic risk factors for coronary heart disease are maintained once high-risk patients without symptoms and with visceral obesity and dyslipidemia are stabilized and maintained for two additional years after a one-year weight loss (5-10%) program. Before entering the study, after the one-year intervention program, and after the 2-year maintenance period, participants will be asked to take part in multiple assessments: fasting lipid profile and apolipoproteins measurements, oral glucose tolerance test, anthropometric measurements, computed tomography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, oral lipid tolerance test, measurements of inflammatory markers, physical activity and dietary diaries, cardiorespiratory fitness assessed by a submaximal treadmill test, and measurements of resting and exercise blood pressure. During the one-year intervention, participants will be closely monitored by the study's dietitians and kinesiologists to achieve the target weight loss. Dieticians will not recommend a daily energy deficit greater than 500 calories and will focus on foods rather than the nutrient composition of the diet. Participants will have access to the dieticians at all time, and appointments every two months will be required during the first year. Regarding physical activity, kinesiologists will supervise the exercise prescription which will aim at 160 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic-exercise. The physical activity prescription will be adjusted by the kinesiologist according to the participant's preferences and habits. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a worsening in some features of the metabolic syndrome over the two-year weight maintenance period. However, it is suggested the greater the weight loss during the intervention, the less marked the deterioration will be. Finally, the investigators put forward that even in the absence of weight loss during the intervention, the lifestyle modification program will prevent visceral fat accumulation expected to be observed over the two-year maintenance period in the control group maintaining their usual behaviour.
A dietary pattern based on Mediterranean diet has been reported as healthy for humans, as well as doing aerobic exercise regularly, diminishing the development of potential inflammation in subjects. Protein intake has been proposed as nutritional strategy to further improve these positives outcomes in terms of preventing inflammation diseases. In this work, overweight patients followed a Mediterranean diet together with aerobic exercise according to WHO-guidelines and were supplemented with 20 g of hemp protein/day, for twelve weeks. Anthropometric and biochemical measures (including analysis of oligoelements), as well as plasma circulating amino acids were evaluated in each patient at the end of the intervention, to assess whether biologically relevant changes could be observed.
The increasing burden of metabolic disturbances among People Living with HIV especially in developing countries has posed need for scientifically-proven, innovative, sustainable and cost-effective local adjuvant remedies to supplement conventional medical interventions. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the potential of Tamarindus indica fruit juice to improve cardiometabolic health of PLWH and elevated Triglycerides (TG). The main aims it aims to answer are to; - evaluate the efficacy of T. indica fruit juice on selected markers of lipid and glucose metabolism, and vascular health. - investigate a possible dose-response relationship on cardiometabolic control following intake of varying concentrations (fruit pulp percentages) of T. indica fruit juice. Participants will be required to consume 600 ml of either 10% or 30% fruit pulp juice a day for 30 days. From the baseline measurements, participants will be asked to comeback for repeat measurements after 14 days and finally on the 3oth day (Endline). Researchers will compare the groups that will be expose to the two juice prototypes to determine potential differences in TG levels.
