This study will define the relationship of cardiac, vascular function and skeletal muscle blood flow (individually and together) to cardiovascular exercise capacity in in men and women with and without type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Identification of differences in the effects of exercise training on the integrated cardiovascular system and metabolism in men and women with and without T2DM will reveal specific adaptive responses to exercise.This study will evaluate & compare exercise function in a total of 60 subjects from the Denver area (30 people with T2DM and 30 overweight control subjects). Specific Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that the integration of cardiac function, macrovascular function, and microvascular function is impaired in T2D and correlates with cardiovascular exercise capacity (CVEC) impairment. Specific Aim 2: To test the hypothesis that exercise training will elicit adaptive responses in cardiac and vascular function, muscle perfusion and metabolism with differences by T2D status. Differences between the exercise responses in people with T2DM and healthy people will help further identify the disease process of T2DM and direct future research of treatments and interventions.
Background: Overweight and obesity affect health, quality of life and ability to work. Therefore, the scientifically evaluated program "SHAPE AND MOTION - medically ◦ accompanied ◦ slimming" was developed to support overweight and obese people in weight loss. Method: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, the effect of a lifestyle intervention with meal replacement by formula diet, exercise stimulation, and telemedicine coaching is examined compared to a control group with routine care. The learning contents are taught in 7 group trainings, a practical unit with shopping and cooking training, as well as in 4 individual telephone conversations. The state of health is examined at the beginning, after 12 and 26 weeks. Objective: The aim is to develop a training and counseling program for overweight or obese individuals with diabetes risk or type 2 diabetes, which can be used both for primary and for tertiary prevention of overweight-related diseases.
Primary Objectives: - Main study: To assess in overweight to obese subjects and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients not requiring anti-diabetic pharmacotherapy the safety and tolerability of 3 different dose escalation regimens of SAR425899 in terms of the relative and absolute frequency and severity of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs). - Six-month safety extension period: To assess the safety and tolerability of SAR425899 after 6 months treatment at the maximum dose that was individually well tolerated during the main part of the study in terms of the relative and absolute frequency and severity of GI AEs. Secondary Objectives: Main study and 6-month study extension period: To assess in overweight to obese subjects and T2DM patients not requiring anti-diabetic pharmacotherapy: - The effect of once-daily dosing of SAR425899 on body weight (BW), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). - Safety and tolerability.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a resistance training programme of one or three times a week on body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and handgrip strength in overweight and obese women
Comparison of a randomized, double-blind, and control-group study for the effect of oral ingestion of low-molecular collagen peptides derived from Skate Skin on body fat reduction in adults
Background: Artificial sweeteners like sucralose are found in many foods and drinks. Sucralose might affect hormones and cause health changes. Objective: To see if sucralose changes how medicines are absorbed and processed, how hormones are secreted, gut bacteria, and how fat cells are metabolized. Eligibility: People ages 18-60 who: - Are black or Hispanic - Weigh more than 110 pounds - Have a body mass index of 25-40 - Do not have a condition that requires drug treatment Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood, heart, and urine tests Participants must not eat or drink anything with artificial sweeteners throughout the study. Over 7 days, Participants will answer questions, and give daily urine samples and 1 stool sample. Participants will repeat these throughout the study. Overnight Visit 1: participants will fast starting the night before. They will get breakfast at the visit. The visit includes: - An IV will be placed in the arm. Participants will get 2 tablets of medicines. Blood will be drawn several times over 24 hours. - A piece of fat tissue may be taken from the abdomen (biopsy). - Participants will have a sweet drink. Blood samples will be taken over 2 hours. Then participants will be randomly assigned to take either a sucralose capsule or placebo. They will take it twice a day for 2 weeks. They will complete two 24-hour food diaries. Overnight Visit 2 repeats Visit 1 except the biopsy. Then participants will take the capsules for another 2 weeks. Overnight Visit 3 repeats Visit 1. Participants may be contacted by phone within 4 weeks after they finish.
This human intervention study will test if 12 weeks of supervised HIIT-based intervention improves skeletal muscle NOGD capacity in obese subjects.
Approaches are needed to help primary-care pediatricians address high blood pressure. This study will test whether an electronic health-record-based tool to address high blood pressure is feasible and improves the evaluation and management of high blood pressure in clinical practice. If successful, this approach can be used to address other lifestyle-related and complex health problems (e.g., dyslipidemia and diabetes), then disseminated and used nationwide. The investigators have developed a new, electronic health-record (EHR)-based tool that is designed to help pediatricians: 1. IDENTIFY AND DOCUMENT 1. when a child's blood pressure is elevated, and 2. whether it has been elevated before--including number of prior elevations to document the correct diagnosis (for example, elevated blood pressure, vs. hypertension stage 1, vs. hypertension stage 2), THEN 2. ORDER the next action(s) needed per guideline-based recommendations, AND per prior actions taken--including: 1. laboratories and studies per 2017 updated guidelines 2. follow-up interval in primary care 3. referral to nephrology, when indicated, and 4. patient education on diet/lifestyle modification. The investigators are working on improving this system further with addition of orders for: 1. referral for sleep-apnea testing and treatment, when indicated, and 2. blood-pressure medications (for example, initiation, titration, or addition of agents depending on blood-pressure control, comorbid conditions [e.g., diabetes], and risk for pregnancy)
There are limited evidence-based treatments for adolescents with binge eating and fewer specifically targeting adolescents with both binge eating and overweight/obesity. The existing research for adolescents with overweight/obesity and loss of control (LOC) eating supports a stepped-care model of treatment in which enhanced behavioral weight loss treatment is the first line of treatment followed by more intensive therapeutic treatment for individuals with remaining emotional eating difficulties. Thus, in this proposed study, the investigators will systematically develop a stepped-care protocol and manualized interventions for adolescents with LOC and binge eating behaviors. The investigators will then evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the interventions in a pilot trial and gather preliminary outcome data to inform development of a subsequent randomized controlled trial.
