Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a combined vitamin D and magnesium supplementation on parathyroid hormone and cardiometabolic health in persons living with obesity.
This study evaluates the effects of a prescribed 4-week raw, plant-based dietary intervention in the treatment of excess body weight, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension in the clinical setting.
The aim of the present study is to test whether late eating dinner could affect the amount of weight loss in healthy obese women in a weight-loss program.
1.Objective The investigators aim to determine the effect of brisk walking prescription (> 10000 steps, > five days, per week) on body components and metabolic risk factors among patients with overweight/obesity. The objectives are as follow: 1. The body components changes before/after the brisk walking prescription (> 10000 steps, > five days per week) intervention in overweight/obesity population; 2. The metabolic risk factors changes before/after the brisk walking prescription (<10000 steps or <five days per week) intervention in overweight/obesity population 2.Study design This study is a prospective 4-month follow-up scheme in which patients were treated with the following intervention: > 10000 steps, > five days, per week. For individual follow-up, body components and metabolic risk factors will be tested before and after the study. Every participants will be followed up in community visits every month. 3. Statistical analysis Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS 16.0 version package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL.). Numerical data will be presented as mean ± standard deviation for normal distribution or otherwise median (interquartile range). Two-sided independent t-test is adopted for between-group comparison on end-points with normal distribution, otherwise non-parametric test. Row-Column table will be analyzed through chi-square test. P<0.05 is taken as statistical significant.
The purpose of the current study is comparing the effect of almond and pistachio, as the two common types of nuts, consumption on healthy obese and overweight female who following a hypocaloric diet for 12 weeks. The secondary aim of the current study is to evaluate of these two type of nuts on other cardiometabolic risk factors.
the aim of present study is to compare the specific effects moderate consumption of lean fish on weight loss of healthy obese and overweight female adults, while participants follow energy-restricted diets also to investigate the effects of this intervention on carbohydrate and lipid profiles, as cardiometabolic risk factors.
The effect of overweight and obesity on IVF outcomes is still questionable. The purpose of this study was to determine if overweight/obesity in women with PCOS were associated with an adverse IVF outcome compared to those with normal weight. Design: Retrospective cohort study.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of sleep duration on weight loss of obese and overweight adult when they are in a weight loss plan (NovinDiet Protocol). The investigators aim is to compare the effects of short term sleep duration with normal sleep duration with respect to body weight (and abdominal adiposity).
The aims of this project are: to investigate the impact of VLCD on control of muscle protein synthesis, muscle structure and function, cardiac function (ejection fraction), vascular function (blood flow and capillary function), overall physiology status (cardiopulmonary function) and metabolic status (insulin sensitivity) in overweight and obese middle-aged male with or without exercises. There are 3 groups for the study, to which each participant will be randomly assigned into one of either: 1. VLCD only 2. VLCD with resistance exercise training (RET) 3. VLCD with high intensity interval training (HIIT) The total duration of the intervention is six weeks, with exercises taking place three times per week at the research unit under close supervision by trained staff.
Overweight divers face a challenging activity such as immersions, starting from a higher levels of circulating cytokines and oxidative stress. Ketogenic Diet (KD) is described as effective in weight loss, in countering inflammation and oxidative stress, and used in the control of drug-refractory seizures. The aim of our pilot study was to evaluate if a ketosis state induced by a specific dietary regime, may have a protective effect on oxidative stress damages and inflammatory status, that accompanies both overweight and diving activities. Blood and urine samples from six overweight divers were obtained a) before (CTRL) and after a dive breathing Enriched Air Nitrox and performing light underwater exercise (NTRX), b) after a dive (same conditions) performed after 7 days of KD (K-NTRX). We measured urinary 8-isoprostane and 8-OH-2-deoxyguanosine evaluating lipids peroxidation and DNA oxidative damages. Plasmatic IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were measured to investigate the inflammatory status.
