Filter by:The investigators are examining the effects of potato consumption on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in overweight and obese individuals with type two diabetes mellitus (T2D) to provide feasible and effective dietary ways for individuals to enhance their quality of life. The overall objective of this crossover study is to collect data regarding the effects of potato consumption on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health among overweight and obese individuals with T2D. The central hypothesis of this crossover study is that the daily consumption of 100 g white potato for 12 weeks will contribute to improvements in glycemic control, reductions in inflammation, and improvements in blood lipids and vascular function in overweight and obese individuals with T2D compared to a macronutrient-matched refined grain (75 g cooked long-grain white rice) for 12 weeks (with a 2 week washout period between interventions). Specific Aim) The assessment of blood glucose control, vascular function, body composition and overall cardiovascular risk after consumption of potatoes (100g/d for 12 weeks) in individuals with T2D compared to a calorie matched refined grain at the initial baseline visit as well as the 6-, and 12-week study visits (for each 12-week intervention period). This aim will assess changed in blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-β as well as the following: 1. blood pressure (BP) 2. markers of endothelial function [flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and endothelin-1 (ET-1)] 3. markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein) 4. body composition via bioelectrical impedance (BIA), lean mass and fat mass assessment 5. lipid profiles, consisting of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL). Atherogenic risk ratios (TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, HDL-C/LDL-C) will also be assessed 6. anthropometrics [weight, height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WC/HC)]
The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has derived a pandemic in which its evolution and complications depend on the immune capacity of the host. The virus has been characterized by presenting an inflammatory cascade, increased by the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, the decrease in metalloenzymes and also the rapid spread of the virus. There are several lines of treatment, however, nutritional treatment only considered a caloric intake. For this reason, this study will evaluate the evolution of patients with COVID-19 assisted by nutritional support system and the effect of this therapy in reducing complications and comorbidities. Research question: Will the nutritional support system reduce complications in stage III positive COVID-19 patients with comorbidities (type 2 DM, SAH, overweight / obesity with BMI <35), with a better benefit than that achieved with the conventional nutritional treatment ?. Hypothesis: The nutritional support system will reduce the complications of patients with COVID-19 in stage III with comorbidities. General Objective: To determine the effect of the use of a nutritional support system on complications in patients with COVID-19 in stage III with comorbidities. Methodology: A controlled, blinded, randomized clinical trial will be conducted in patients with COVID-19, hospitalized at the ISSEMYM Toluca Arturo Montiel Rojas Medical Center, who meet the inclusion criteria. The evolution of the group of patients receiving the nutritional support system (NSS) and the normal diet implemented by the hospital will be evaluated against the group of patients receiving only the diet, using clinical examination, laboratory and cabinet tests during their hospital stay. Statistical analysis: for independent groups with normal distribution, Student's T will be applied. If the distribution does not meet normality criteria, a Mann Whitney U will be performed; Two-way ANOVA will be applied to monitor the groups over time with normal distribution. If the distribution does not meet normality criteria, a Friedman test will be performed, in both cases post hoc tests will be performed. The results will be analyzed using version 6 of the Graphpad Prism software.
This is a single arm phase II study designed to determine the effects of pharmacotherapy and a remote behavioral weight loss intervention on weight loss in breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese, and the impact of successful weight loss on serum biomarkers and gut microbiome.
To assess whether orange peel fermentation has the effect of reducing body fat in adults
The purpose of this study is to develop an auto-injector (AI) device for the BMS-986036 subcutaneous formulation that can be self-administered conveniently by participants.
In order to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on mothers with gestational diabetes and their offspring in the first 18 months of life, The intervention will be applied to mothers with gestational diabetes, and a group of mothers without diabetes, against a control group with the normal post-partum treatment. Effects on overweight and obesity will be evaluated in both mothers and offspring.
Non-commercial depersonalized multi-centered registry study on analysis of chronic non-infectious diseases dynamics after SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults.
We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 28-week trial. 300 non-diabetic obese subjects or overweight subjects with co-morbidities were randomly assigned. Eligible participants were randomized 2:1 to once-daily subcutaneous injections of either liraglutide or placebo. The primary outcome is to investigate the safety, tolerability from baseline to end of treatment.
Evaluation of the effect of Epitomee Device on Gastric Emptying Rate in healthy subjects
This is a within-subjects crossover study that examines subjective appetite, food intake, hormone and metabolic responses to consumption of mid morning snacks of pecan nuts as compared to an iso-caloric amount of tortilla chips. Pecans are high in fat and calories and low in carbohydrate by weight, while tortilla chips are mostly carbohydrate and essentially devoid of fat. These two very different nutrient profiles should elicit different metabolic and biomarker responses. The study aims to determine whether these treatments also elicit different subjective appetite and food intake responses. Participants will be healthy volunteers with overweight and obesity, a population that may be seeking healthy snacking options that are satisfying and satiating.
