Filter by:In obese (OB) patients, the presence of an increased inflammatory state in the body due to the increase in abdominal adipose tissue and increase in the frequency of gallstones and lipid levels are expected to increase the development of acute pancreatitis (AP). The effect of obesity on the clinical course of acute pancreatitis has much been attracted the attention of researchers. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the prevalence and severity of AP, as well as Balthazar tomographic scoring, differs in BMI groups (normal, overweight, obese).
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that is harmful to health. Dietary habits modification through a caloric restriction, macronutrient distribution including linoleic and linolenic (n-6:n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ratio, has been suggested for obesity management. It has been proposed that the optimal n-6: n-3 ratio should be between 1:1 and 5:1 to maintain a healthy balance. Purpose: Compare the effect of a diet n6:n3 ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids with a group supplemented with n-3 PUFA on lipid profile in erythrocyte membrane, biochemical and inflammatory markers in subjects with obesity. Methods: 58 subjects were randomly divided into two groups: fish oil group and the placebo group. Anthropometric and biochemical data were evaluated, cytokine levels was performed using the Bio-PlexPro™ HumanTh17Cytokine Assays (MagPix) panel. The fatty acid profile quantification in the erythrocyte membrane was carried out by gas chromatography. Statistical analysis was performed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v.22 software.
Hydroxytyrosol is a phenolic compound drawn from the olive tree and its leaves as a by-product obtained from the manufacturing of olive oil and has antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. The use of HT extract in food products is a good strategy to improve their nutritional quality. However, this extract has a strong odour and flavour, so it is important to be encapsulated for the odour and flavour to be covered up. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of regular consumption of bread enriched with HT on biochemical parameters (blood glucose and cholesterol levels).
The study aims to investigate the kinetics of the naturally occurring peptide liver-enriched antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP-2) in healthy volunteers. The overall objective is to investigate the physiological importance of LEAP-2 in healthy subjects.
This study will examine the effectiveness of a structural intervention (baseline proportion of lower energy ready meals vs increased proportion of lower energy ready meals) on calories (kcal) ordered and consumed. The study will use a within-subjects design, meaning all participants will be exposed to both conditions (baseline vs increased lower energy meal menus). The procedure will involve participants placing orders for supermarket ready meals, which are then delivered to their homes for their consumption. This study will also investigate whether the effectiveness of the intervention varies, depending on socioeconomic position (SEP). The primary hypothesis is that increasing proportion of lower energy options will decrease total kcal ordered and consumed, and that there will be no difference between higher and lower SEP. To address the limited evidence on longer term impacts of dietary interventions on daily energy intake, the present study will also examine post-meal energy consumption up to midnight on the following day. Finally, this study will explore the psychological processes that might underlie the effectiveness of the intervention among individuals with higher and lower SEP; namely, food choice motives, satiety responsiveness, plate clearing tendencies, and food waste concerns.
Many individuals do not achieve clinically significant weight loss following traditional lifestyle modification interventions, potentially because weight loss is dependent upon calorie tracking compliance (to achieve calorie prescriptions), which decreases over time for most. By contrast, non-energy-restricted whole food plant-based diets (WFPBD) have been demonstrated to promote clinically significant weight loss even without calorie prescriptions. The present pilot trial represents the first, to the knowledge of our study team, to empirically test a remotely delivered WFPBD behavioral weight loss intervention for adults with overweight or obesity. Over 12-weeks, participants (N = 21) will follow a non-energy-restricted WFPBD and received nutritional counseling and behavioral weight loss intervention. Participation will occur in two phases (Phase 1: n = 7; Phase 2: n = 14), between which iterative changes to the intervention will be made. Assessments will occur at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up. Data will be analyzed using an intent-to-treat approach. The primary aims of the study will be to assess retention feasibility and acceptability. The secondary aims will be to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on: (1) percent weight loss; (2) dietary intake (i.e., increased intake of low-fat plant-based whole foods and decreased in intake of processed foods and animal products); and (3) waist circumference. The exploratory aims will be to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on physical- and mental health-related quality of life, and to examine potential moderators of treatment success (plant-based diet history, internal disinhibition, social support vs. social sabotage, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility).
Recently, the number of bariatric surgery is increasing but ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for bariatric surgery needs revision with evidence. So we investigated usefulness of ERAS protocol for bariatric surgery in morbidly obese patients.
The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of ERX1000 in obese subjects.
Study to assess the effects of weekly subcutaneous administration of the GLP1-RA semaglutide 2.4mg on kidney function parameters in obese/overweight individuals at high risk of CKD progression.
Overweight and obesity are today considered among the most important health risks facing humanity with more than one in two adults overweight or obese in western countries. In addition, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common comorbidity associated with overweight and obesity and counts for 5% of the French population under 65 years of age and 15% in people over 65 years old. Despite the accumulation of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of physical activity, obese and diabetic people remain insufficiently active and current programs struggle to engage and sustain physical activity of patients over long periods of time. It is therefore urgent to develop interventions that can effectively change individuals' behavior. In this context, "e-health" interventions and gamification appear to be a particularly promising avenue to improve physical activity and reduce attrition rates of current programs. This clinical trial aim to test the effectiveness of a digital intervention based on gamification and teamwork in comparison to a supervised physical activity program. The investigators hypothesized that the intervention will be efficient by the development of a self-determined motivation through the process of gamification on the one hand. On the other hand, through the in-group collaboration with other people who share the same stigmatized criteria that will help participants to overcome weight stigmas, acting generally as physical activity barriers.
