Filter by:The current project is designed as a 30-day pilot trial to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of resveratrol therapy in overweight adolescents to decrease liver fat, and improve insulin sensitivity to prevent type 2 diabetes.
The main objective of this study is to investigate in detail how a high-(prebiotic)fibre diet and a high-PUFA diet affect the gut microbiota composition in a metabolic challenged population, and if the diet-induced modulation of the gut microbiota mediates changes in metabolic risk markers. Intake of both experimental diets over 4 weeks are expected to induce beneficial changes in the gut microbiota composition and to affect markers for insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism and inflammation. The investigators hypothesize that the effect of both interventions on the metabolic risk markers will be partly mediated by the diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota composition.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of interactive video game in management of overweight in children. The investigators will evaluate the effect of product versus standard physical activity.
In order to address and curb the high prevalence of childhood obesity in Malaysia, a school-based intervention program, MyBFF@school is developed for implementation in all schools in the country. The program is specific for overweight and obese students and it is hypothesized that by participating in this program, students will be able to control their body mass index.
While eating the majority of energy earlier in the day appears to have a positive effect on weight and cardiometabolic outcomes, it is not clear how eating earlier in the day influences other behaviors that have a circadian rhythm (sleep), other energy balance behaviors important for weight loss (physical activity), and self-reported feelings of appetite control (hunger and fullness). Thus the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of timing of eating on sleep patterns, physical activity, and self-reported feelings of appetite control. It is hypothesized that those who eat the majority of their calories earlier in the day will have greater weight loss than those who eat the majority later in the day.
Objectives: To determine the effect of protein content of familiar breakfast meals on subjective appetite, food intake (FI), glycemic response and Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) in normal weight (NW) and overweight (OW)/obese (OB) children. Specific Objectives: 1a.To determine the effect of familiar breakfast meals (450 kcal containing eggs and varying in protein content (15, 30, and 45g) on subjective appetite, glycemic response and food intake at a test meal 4 h later in NW and. OW/OB children. 1b. To describe the effect of isocaloric (450 kcal) familiar breakfasts either high in protein (optimal protein from Objective 1a) or low in protein on TEF and substrate utilization over 5 h in NW and OW/OB children.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability and efficacy of a two month technology-based weight loss program for overweight and obese college students.
The inclusion of breakfast cereals enriched with omega-3 for female users of a pharmacy who had some lipidic profiles to the limit is highly conditioned by their nutritional acceptance. The main objective is to assess the effect of breakfast cereals intake with omega-3 on women lipid profile values to the limit, users of a pharmacy in Elche and in this way reduce the small dyslipidemia.
The investigators hypothesized that there will be a significant difference between the effects of trans-free palm-, interesterified palm- and interesterified soybean oil blend on cardiovascular disease, inflammation, insulin resistance and obesity.
The goal of this project is to characterize changes in emotion regulation pathways associated with healthy behaviors in people who have recently lost weight and are seeking to maintain weight loss over a 1-year period.
