Filter by:Limited interventional human studies suggest that probiotic supplementation may be a beneficial strategy for promoting weight loss when added to a nutritional intervention via their effects on lipid absorption and metabolic signaling molecules. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of addition of a probiotic supplementation to a weight loss intervention on body weight, body composition and overall health in overweight adults.
The iTrackFitness study aims to test the "engagement engine" that was developed from activity tracker and survey data gathered during phase I of the study. For the current phase the "engagement engine" will support successful and sustained engagement with health trackers thereby increasing physical activity.
This trial is conducted in The United States of America. The aim of this trial is to investigate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and Pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of Multiple Dosing of NNC0174-0833 in Subjects with Obesity or Overweight.
The C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene is related to several significant biochemical changes, as dyslipidemia, changes in serum levels of homocysteine, folic acid, vitamin B12 and some oxidative stress markers such as the CAT and MDA, leading to a high risk of the emergence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A diet containing antioxidants, especially folate, is characterized by being beneficial for individuals with this genetic alteration to possess anti-inflammatory function, act on and oxidative stress play an important gene function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the C677T polymorphism of the MTHFR gene and the effect of a diet containing folate on oxidative stress, lipid profile and homocysteine levels in adult women are overweight or obese. This is an intervention study, double-blind, held in a city in northeastern Brazil. The study included 48 adult women (20-59 years old) with BMI of 26.19 kg / m² and 49.64 kg / m², in which we evaluated the CAT levels, MDA, lipid profile, folic acid, homocysteine and vitamin B12 addition genotyping for the C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene and the food consumption by the food recall 24 hours, being divided by randomization into two groups received daily for 8 weeks, 300g vegetables rich in folate containing 191 ug and 90 ug of this nutrient.
This study will compare two energy reduced diets; one diet will include one Haas avocado/day while the other diet will follow the usual American dietary pattern. All subjects will receive a dietary plan that reduces their usual intake by 500kcal/day with the same percentage of fat, protein and carbohydrates. The results from this study may help to explain if eating one Haas avocado/day can achieve at least equivalent weight loss when compared to the usual American diet.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of the frequency and duration of breaks in sitting time on the metabolic risk factor profile.
The investigator is pilot testing the feasibility and impact of a low-cost intervention that uses existing gymnasiums, and therefore has the potential to be replicated across the United States. The intervention, PlayFit, is designed for adults aged 21-50. PlayFit has five key components, intended to overcome the major barriers to physical activity. First, it will assist people in finding others to play with, using the Pick-Up model of designating times to play and making those times known in the community. Second, it will overcome a lack of confidence in physical activity by including games of lower intensity for relatively unfit adults, then building up to moderate and vigorous games. Third, it will require team members of varying ages and genders to encourage intergenerational play. Fourth, it will use modified equipment (e.g., softer, lighter balls) and smaller game space to require less running, so that even relatively unfit people can feel confident participating. Fifth, it will be designed to be led by community volunteers, which will increase its disseminability. AIM - Understand the optimum design for PlayFit. To meet this aim, the investigators will come up with a list of games to play and pilot the games at a gymnasium. The investigators will observe the participants playing the games and have them complete a brief survey.
Trial Investigating Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics for Single Doses of NNC9204-1177 in Subjects being Overweight or with Obesity
The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine the effect of weight loss on a wide range of biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence in overweight and obese breast cancer survivors. We hypothesized that weight loss would result in a statistically significant improvement in biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of active video game play on youth physical activity.
