Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a parent/guardian intervention for adolescent overweight/obesity more effective than a nutritional counseling education curriculum for reducing body mass index z-score (BMI Z-score) and related outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine how VI-0521 affect speed and reaction time on specific tasks that require eye and hand coordination, compared to placebo.
Metabolic environment of the foetus during pregnancy in obese women is altered and the child exposed at an increased risk of obesity. Rapid infancy and childhood weight gain is associated with subsequent obesity. The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of an educational intervention during pregnancy in obese or overweight women, on the reduction of rapid infancy weight gain in the two first years of life.
PF-04620110 is a novel compound proposed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics following a single oral dose.
Hypothesis: Overweight subjects using a Virtual Coach will demonstrate improved adherence to an exercise regime. This study is designed to examine the effect of a computer program called a "Virtual Coach" and find out if it helps people become more active. This program acts as a kind of a personal trainer and will give you feedback. All participants in the study will receive an activity monitor to wear during the study and a website to use to track activity. Half of the participants will also receive the virtual coach software. This software will have to be downloaded onto your computer, and we will ask that you check in with the coach using the software three times a week for 12 weeks. The group you will be placed in will be selected by chance.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to examine the safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of subcutaneous AC2307 in obese or overweight subjects.
This study will provide data on two systems for assigning point values to food choices in a diet plan. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the two systems with regard to changes in body weight.
Evidence indicates that almond consumption is associated with multiple health benefits. However, nuts are commonly excluded from diets on the basis that their high energy content may induce weight gain. Evidence from numerous studies show that this is not the case, yet the mechanism responsible for the less than predicted effect on weight is unknown. This study aimed to examine the effects of increased mastication on lipid bioavailability and satiety related peptide released in humans. Its purpose is to provide valuable mechanistic data to support the results from previous completed clinical studies.
The aim of this trial was to compare postprandial metabolic response to glucose load in healthy overweight and type 2 diabetic subjects, by using glycemia, insulinemia, lipid profile, nutrient oxidation follow-up. Stable isotopes of glucose were used to assess postprandial total,exogenous and endogenous glucose kinetics.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of dose and content of an enhanced weight maintenance treatment on children's ability to maintain weight loss following a standard weight loss treatment.
