Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of six weeks of watermelon puree supplementation, compared to control (no treatment), on blood antioxidant capacity, inflammation markers in the blood, biomarkers of metabolism in the blood, and cardiovascular disease markers in the blood, and biomarkers in the blood related to watermelon ingestion in overweight post-menopausal women. The secondary purpose is to compare body composition and body mass between the watermelon supplement group and the control group.
This study is set up to determine the consumption safety and the effect of a food supplement containing dietary fiber from cassava on the alterations of physiological parameters including fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, atherogenic index, blood pressure and gut microbes in overweight female volunteers.
The study will look at how two different forms of semaglutide reach and stay in the blood after injection. None of the two forms of semaglutide have been approved by the authorities to treat obesity. Participants will get 1 of the 2 forms of semaglutide - which one is decided by chance. Participants will get the medicine as an injection under the skin of the stomach with the use of a pen-injector. The type of pen-injector is different for the two forms of semaglutide. The study staff will teach participants how to inject themselves with the medicine. As part of this training participants will self inject placebo (dummy medication) 3 times. Participants will take an injection once a week and will get 21 injections in total of study medication. The study will last for about 27-30 weeks. Participants will have 25 study visits with the study doctor. For 2 of the visits, participants will stay in the clinic for 3 days and 2 nights. Participants may have to stop the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
This is a randomized controlled pilot study to evaluate the effects of intermittent caloric restriction compared with low carbohydrate diet in youth with cardiometabolic risk.
This study looks at NNC0247-0829 (a potential new medicine) for weight management in people with overweight or obesity. The study looks at how NNC0247-0829 works in the body. Participants will either get NNC0247-0829 or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine) - which treatment is decided by chance. NNC0247-0829 is an experimental medicine which has not been approved by the US FDA. Participants will get either 1 injection or a total of 4 injections (one week apart) by a study nurse at the clinic depending on what group they are in. The study will last for about 18 months, but participation will last from 11 to 23 weeks. This will depend on the group participants are in. Participants will attend 8 to 14 visits at the clinic with the study staff. Some participants will have one 16-day, 15-night visit and one 2-day, 1-night visit. Others will have two 2-day, 1-night visits. At all visits except one, participants will have blood tests and other checks. They will be asked about their health, medical history and habits including mental health questionnaires.
This study in healthy men and women compares the injection site experience of the DV3396 pen to that of the PDS290 pens when both pens are used to deliver 0.25 mg semaglutide subcutaneously (sc, under the skin). Participants will receive 2 single doses of semaglutide 0.25 mg on 1 day. The 2 injections will be given at least 30 minutes apart, one in each side of the stomach. Participants will be in the clinic research center for 1 day. A follow-up phone call will take place between 4 and 5 weeks after the injections were given.
We want to investigate whether an acute administration of hydroxychloroquine sulphate affects hedonic food intake, appetite related sensations and gastrointestinal hormone release in overweight female subjects.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of FT-4101 as a single agent in overweight/obese subjects with NASH. The study may be conducted in up to 2 dosing cohorts.
Low- grade inflammation is a pathological feature of a wide range of chronic conditions, including the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the accelerated reduction in bone density. Previous research shows that diets rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce chronic inflammation. To date there is no data on multiyear clinical interventions assessing the effect of plant-based dietary supplements on low-grade inflammation, cardiovascular disease prevention and indicators of biological aging, including individuals' cognitive function. In this study, the investigators are thus exploring whether separate ingestions of two plant-based nutritional products over 2 years, are able to modulate low-grade inflammation, parameters of CVD prevention, circulating micronutrients, upper respiratory tract- and gastro-intestinal symptoms, quality of life, indicators of biological aging, and cognitive function in overweight seniors.
The primary aim of this study was to examine weight reduction in primary care in obese or overweight subjects with a comorbidity that would benefit from weight loss during 1-year comprehensive lifestyle management programme including medical examinations, personalized dietary and exercise advice, guidance on shopping behaviour and food preparation, and group discussions.
