Filter by:A self administered 16 weeks plus follow up study to explore the efficacy of mobile phone driven apps for stress reduction coupled with guidance for healthy living among obese and overweight populations. The Study primary end points are weight of the participants, as well as glucose measurements (for subject with diabetes) and blood pressure (of subjects with hypertension).
This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a pre-pregnancy life style intervention to reduce the risk of diabetes and prediabetes.
Prediabetes, defined by either impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance, is a known high-risk condition predisposing to future diabetes mellitus type 2. Strategies to prevent progression from prediabetes to diabetes have been widely studied, however, without striking long-term effects of any kind of intervention (pharmacological, behavioral...). The investigators therefore investigate certain nutritional approaches concerning nutrient content and favorable food components, targeting metabolic improvement.
To evaluate the effect of Gluten Free Diet (GFD) on beta-cell function and glucose metabolism in subjects with one or several islet autoantibodies without and with dysglycemia at baseline. Additionally, all subjects will be given treatment with Vitamin D, omega fatty acids and probiotics. Subjects will be randomized to GFD or normal diet during 18 months. Beta cell function will be evaluated at baseline, and during follow-up by glucose tolerance tests.
An adaptation to a cold environment is a tendency to generate heat within our body. Some of this heat comes from our fat tissue. Although most fat tissue is "white fat", there are pockets deep within the body that are called "brown fat", which are specially adapted to burning fat and making heat. The investigator believes that our white fat, just underneath the surface of our skin, also has this property to burn fat and make heat, although not at the high level of brown fat. This study is to examine this fat-burning property of the white fat under the skin in response to seasons and to cold. Many such studies have been done in mice, but little has been done in humans. There are a number of factors, including age, weight, and medical history, that may make a person eligible or ineligible to participate in this study. Certain medications could make a person ineligible, but if these medications can be safely altered, the individual may become eligible.
In this prospective observational cohort study, women representing the full spectrum of gestational glucose tolerance status are undergoing longitudinal cardiometabolic characterization at regular intervals in the years after the index pregnancy.
The main objective of the study is to investigate if 6 months resveratrol supplementation can improve glucose tolerance in overweight/obese individuals. As secondary objectives we want to investigate whether resting energy metabolism, intra-hepatic lipid content, physical performance, body composition and quality of life change by 6 months resveratrol supplementation in these individuals.
This study evaluates the efficacy of a 12-month resistance training on metabolic control and reducing the risk of diabetes.
The objective of the study is to assess the effect of low-calorie diets with normal (18%) vs. high (35%) protein (mainly coming from animal source) composition on body weight and carbohydrates metabolism in overweight and obese subjects with pre-diabetes or diabetes. A dietary intervention is carried out during 6 months in 100 subjects who are individually randomized to an energy-restricted diet with two types of macronutrients composition: 1) 35% protein, 30% fat and 35% carbohydrates and 2) 18% protein, 30% fat and 52% carbohydrates. Around 80% of total protein in diet comes from animal source (of whom around 40% from lean red meat). Subjects are provided with weekly menus and different recipes to use them as part of the diet. Monitoring visits with the nutritionist will be performed every 15 days. At the beginning of the study, after 3 and 6 months, the following parameters are determined: anthropometric (weight, waist circumference, body mass index and body composition), blood pressure, dietary (72-hours dietary registry) and exercise and biochemical analysis (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoproteins A1 and B, iron, transferring, ferritin, uric acid, glucose, HbA1c, insulin, adiponectin and resistin). Urine samples are also collected to assess microalbuminuria and ureic nitrogen.
The investigators propose that post-exercise milk protein feeding will enhance the mitochondrial protein synthesis (biogenesis) response to an exercise-training program. In addition, the investigators propose that this stimulatory effect of protein feeding will overcome the potential blunting effect of metformin on exercise responses. The investigators will investigate these outcomes over a 12-week exercise-training program in older adults with pre-diabetes with or without metformin treatment.
