Filter by:The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet supplemented with exercise, on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet with exercise among elderly adult women with abnormal weight gain.
Ketogenesis is a physiologic phenomenon due to starvation or ketogenic diet (KD), a drastic restricted carbohydrate dietary regimen that induces lipid metabolism and ketone body (KB) synthesis. We followed, in a dietician clinical setting, a group of migraineurs who randomly received a one-month prescription of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction, then another one-month of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction. Experimental diets are a very-low calorie KD, or an isocaloric non-ketogenic diet. Aim of our study is verify if during ketogenesis migraine improves.
Mediterranean diet (Med-D) has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO and was shown to be beneficial for the treatment of obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Individuals with the highest adherence to Med-D (classified according to Sofi et al., 2010) were characterized by increased levels of specific fibre-degrading bacteria, increased faecal levels of short chain fatty acids, and lower urinary concentrations of the atherogenic compound TMAO. However, the interplays between Med-D and microbial populations in the intestine remain unclear. Moreover, a number of clinical conditions like obesity, T2D, and atherosclerosis are associated with dysbiotic microbial ecosystems in the gut, i.e., shifts in the structure and function of the microbiota, but the characteristic features of dysbiotic gut communities and the impact of diet are not very well defined. The present study will evaluate the impact of Med-D on cardiometabolic health in human subjects via modification of intestinal microbial communities and its impact on health outcomes, mainly related to inflammatory, oxidative and hormonal status, in overweight subjects.
The primary purpose of this study (Part A) is to assess changes in body weight and body circumference parameters that are achievable after 4 weeks on the Nutrisystem program compared to a self-directed diet (i.e. Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension or DASH). In Part B, subjects on the Nutrisystem program will be given the option to continue the program for another 8 weeks.
The Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is one of the most common reasons for subfertility, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. With the occurrence of 6-20% of the general adult women population. One of the main criteria of this syndrome is a hyper androgenic state. More than 50% of women who have PCOS are overweight. In the teenage population, PCOS is common in 5-10% of teenage girls. A recent research has shown that elite athlete teenage girls have higher serum androgen levels, especially in anaerobic types of sport. The purpose of this experiment is to examine the reaction of teenage PCOS overweight girls towards anaerobic exercise. To determine if their hyperandrogenic state is more adapted to excel in anaerobic exercise compared to teenage overweight girls without PCOS.
Negative-calorie diet is among the popular dieting guides for weight loss; however, there is still little knowledge about this method. The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet.
To evaluate the lipolysis effect of resveratrol and lipoic acid transdermal patch in overweight volunteers
The purpose of the Deaf Weight Wise 2.0 (DWW 2.0) study is to test an evidence-based, comprehensive program to modify obesity-related health behaviors with Deaf people ages 21 to 70 who use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language. Participants will be randomized to one of four arms: immediate intervention vs. intervention delayed one year, and in-person group intervention vs. individual intervention delivered via videophone. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that participants in the immediate DWW 2.0 intervention will increase their physical activity and reduce their caloric intake and body weight compared with those in the delayed intervention group (no intervention yet).
Strong Hearts for New York is a research study which aims to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD), improve quality of life, and reduce CVD related health care costs in rural communities. Our aim is to better understand how changes in lifestyle can affect the health of rural women and others in their communities.
This study is to evaluate the benefit and tolerability of two dosages of IQP-AE-103 (990mg and 1980mg daily) in reducing body weight in overweight and moderately obese subjects
