Filter by:This randomized, controlled trial aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which a plant-based dietary intervention causes weight loss. Using a low-fat, plant-based diet for 16 weeks, along with an untreated control for comparison, the study will measure changes in body weight, body composition, intramyocellular and/or intrahepatocellular lipid, and changes in association to body weight.
This study employs a cross-sectional design to profile the gut microbiome and urine metabolome in overweight/obese children with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The purpose of this project is to use white-skinned sweet potato as the main material for weight control for overweight and obesity, the non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes) are also included. All high quality sweet potato are provided by CAES in Taiwan to produce special nutrient food and health food that to do functional study in Shih Chien University and Taipei Medical University. In this study, the investigators will recruit overweight and obesity subjects that divide into white sweet potato group (experimental group) and no intervention group (control group) by using randomized, parallel and open clinical study in sixty days.
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of drinking a sugar-sweetened beverage along with a meal on insulin concentrations and, glucose and lipid metabolism, in overweight and obese subjects, during a 10-hour visit.
Glucosanol had previously been proven to be effective in aiding weight loss and weight loss maintenance. Studies have also shown that Glucosanol (also known as Phaseolamin), was effective in aiding weight loss and also has evidence on reducing post-prandial glucose levels. This study is to enrich the existing evidence on dose-dependent post-prandial glucose effects of Glucosanol
It was proven in a previous clinical study that Glucosanol™ is effective and safe in reducing weight in the overweight and obese. The present study aims at expanding the data concerning the weight management effect of Glucosanol™ in overweight and moderately obese population.
The aim of the study is to examine if motivational interviewing can have a positive effect on weight loss over a 6 month period. By losing weight, the investigators assume the patients will have a positive effect on quality of life, and also that weight loss will help to regulate the factors that are present with polycystic ovary syndrom (PCOS); such as menstrual disorders and infertility. Participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group. Both groups will be followed as normal with blood samples and other tests such as scans of the ovaries and measurement of height and weight at the beginning of the study and after six months. In addition, there will be a small hair sample taken from the neck at the first consultation and after 6 months. This is done to measure the stress hormone cortisol in the body over the duration of the experiment. The treatment group receive individual motivational interviews by a nurse every 14 days for a period of six months. After half a year, tests are repeated to see if there are significant differences between the groups.
The BrainFit Study aims to examine acute effects of High Intensity Interval- vs Resistance or Combined program has benefits on Cognitive Function as well as on secretion and regulation of neurotrophic factors or neurotrophins in a cohort of sedentary, overweight adults (aged 18-30 years) from Bogota, Colombia.
RCT to investigate whether metformin co-treatment would improve IVF outcomes in overweight and obese women with PCOS.
This research is being done to study the impacts of a computerized learning task on health behaviors. The investigators are interested in studying whether this computerized learning task can help with weight loss.
