NCT ID: NCT05147909 Recruiting - Physical Inactivity Clinical Trials

Impact of Dietary Phosphate Excess on Exercise Capacity and Visceral Adiposity

Start date: September 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Studies in mice demonstrated that dietary phosphate (Pi) loading that mimic the level of US adult consumption leads to reduced spontaneous locomotor activity, exercise capacity, and reduced resting metabolic rate when in normal mice by impairing skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and fat oxidation. However, relevance of this findings in humans remains unknown.

NCT ID: NCT03592732 Recruiting - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

The Role of Adipokines In Atrial Fibrillation

Start date: March 29, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The principal aim of the present study is to analyze adiponectin, omentin-1, apelin and visfatin plasma levels in patients with and without AF in an effort to identify their potential role in the development of AF.

NCT ID: NCT03363542 Recruiting - Visceral Obesity Clinical Trials

The Effects of Increased Fiber Diet Consumption on Outcomes of Subjects With Visceral Obesity

Start date: October 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators propose to undertake a controlled dietary intervention study in UAE subjects with visceral obesity to examine the feasibility of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and/or whole-grain fiber in the UAE population. The research will also investigate the longer-term influence of increased fruits, vegetables and fiber consumption on health and its capacity to sustain lifestyle change.

NCT ID: NCT01447745 Recruiting - Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Abdominal Fat and Imaging Measurements of Heart Disease

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Although it is frequently mentioned in the media that overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions worldwide and in this country, some Canadians are perplexed and sometimes confused about the role of obesity in diabetes and heart disease. In fact, the investigators even hear from time to time that there could be "healthy" obese individuals. In clinical practice, assessment of obesity as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a challenge as even some physicians are confused. However, studies conducted in our laboratory and by other research teams around the world over the last 20 years have clearly shown that body shape is more important than body size when evaluating the risk of overweight/obesity and that high accumulation of abdominal fat (excess belly fat) increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The investigators now need to better understand the link between excess belly fat and atherosclerosis (the thickening of artery walls by fatty deposits, also referred to as atherosclerotic plaque), leading to complications such as angina (chest pain) and myocardial infarction (heart attacks). Using non-invasive imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, the investigators therefore propose to examine the relationships between measures of fatness and of abdominal fat and the size of atherosclerotic plaque in large blood vessels of apparently healthy human subjects. This study is also a unique opportunity to look, for the first time, at the relationship between belly fat, blood sugar, several well-known risk factors for heart disease (cholesterol, blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, etc.) and the size of atherosclerotic plaques. This research program should pave the way to the development of new improved preventive/therapeutic approaches focusing not on body weight but rather on abdominal fat and associated blood abnormalities which are predictive of the development of atherosclerotic plaques leading to the premature development of heart disease.

NCT ID: NCT00431587 Recruiting - Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Changes in Different Fat Compartments and Their Effect on Particular Manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome After Bariatric Procedures.

Start date: June 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The metabolic risks associated with obesity are closely correlated with central (abdominal), rather than a peripheral (gluteofemoral) fat pattern It has been shown that weight loss after bariatric surgery is followed by metabolic improvements. The amount of fat lost from each site may be independently regulated. Very scant information is found in the literature regarding the relative changes in different fat body compartments, and their effect on the improvement of the metabolic profile. In this study we define the absolute and relative changes in the different adipose tissue compartment after weight loss surgery
