Filter by:The study evaluates analgesic, antiinflammatory and metabolic effects of a supplement Epigenome-Antivir (extracts of glycyrrhiza roots, hippophae rhamnoides leaves, curcumin, green tea, and vitamin C) combined with acupuncture in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and metabolic syndrome.
A high intake of fish is associated with positive health effects, including prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and type 2 diabetes. These health effects have traditionally been attributed to the omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish, but recent studies have suggested that also fish proteins may improve biomarkers of metabolic disease. Intake of cod fillet have previously shown beneficial effects on blood lipids, glucose regulation and body composition in adults with overweight or obesity. Health effect of cod residual material from fillet production (i.e., head, backbone, skin, cutoffs and entrails) have so far not been investigated, but residuals from other fish species have shown promising effects on glucose regulation in rats. The main aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of protein from cod fillet and cod residuals on serum lipids, glucose regulation and inflammatory markers in healthy overweight or obese adults.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aimed at evaluating the effects of a 3-months treatment with Policaptil Gel Retard on postprandial incretin hormones release and satiety in obese women
The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Arom Digest Slim in facilitating weight reduction along with a series of minimal nutritional interventions.
This study evaluates the effects of physical exercise through active videogame in the microcirculation, macrocirculation, cardiorespiratory function and physical fitness in overweight adolescents. For that, they will be randomized into two groups, one being a control group and the other intervention group. The randomization will be made by school. The intervention group will perform the physical exercise through the active video game, three times a week, for 50 minutes, during 8 weeks. Reassessments will be performed before and after the intervention to evaluate the outcome variables.
A method has been developed to measure in vivo adipose kinetics and turnover rates, which is a substantive departure from previous indirect and in vitro approaches. This technique involves drinking deuterium (2H)-labeled water, with an initial ramp-up to increase body water 2H enrichment, followed by daily intake to maintain enrichment values. The 2H from the heavy water is incorporated into the DNA of the dividing cells, as well as the lipid component, providing measures of cell formation, lipid synthesis, and adipose turnover. The objective of the proposed study is to enroll women who are overweight (sedentary or physically active) in order to collect 2H-enriched adipose tissue specimens that will be utilized to establish this innovative 2H-labeling protocol at Pennington Biomedical Research Center. This study will also assess adipose kinetics in individuals with different levels of physical activity to better understand the association between in vivo adipose cell kinetics, physical activity, and metabolic health in humans.
A randomized controlled trial for the efficacy of contingency management to encourage smoking cessation and weight loss.
The primary aim of the study is to evaluate how GIP receptor activation influence food intake and mechanisms regulating food intake in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes that are in steady treatment with metformin and a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
Body-weight based interval training (IT) performed 3 times per week will lead to reductions in abdominal adiposity and reduce overall body fat percentage in overweight and obese sedentary adults more effectively than moderate intensity continuous training (MICT). Body-weight interval training will improve exercise capacity (peak VO2) in overweight/obese adults.
The aim of the present research is to test the effect of helping people to reward themselves when they have successfully lost weight and the impact this will have on subsequent weight. Each participant will be randomly allocated to one of four conditions. The trial requires 200 participants to perform a fully powered statistical analysis. The four conditions are: (1) a control condition, (2) intervention 1 (form a single self-incentivising implementation intention from a drop-down menu), (3) intervention 2 (form multiple self-incentivising implementation intentions from a drop-down menu), or (4) intervention 3 (asked to form a single self-incentivising implementation intention of their own devising). The main outcome measure will be BMI, which will be self-reported.
