Filter by:the aim of present study is to compare the specific effects moderate consumption of lean fish on weight loss of healthy obese and overweight female adults, while participants follow energy-restricted diets also to investigate the effects of this intervention on carbohydrate and lipid profiles, as cardiometabolic risk factors.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of sleep duration on weight loss of obese and overweight adult when they are in a weight loss plan (NovinDiet Protocol). The investigators aim is to compare the effects of short term sleep duration with normal sleep duration with respect to body weight (and abdominal adiposity).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of diet type selection based on response to a Carbohydrate Intolerance Questionnaire (CIQ) and genetic screening on success to a weight loss and exercise program.
This pragmatic randomized clinical trial will assess the efficacy, cost, and sustainability of a culturally tailored weight-loss program targeting obese Hispanic women with pre-diabetes or T2D. The intervention will be integrated into patient care at a Federally Qualified Health Center serving over 30,000 low-income patients, and will be delivered by trained clinic staff, with minimal support from research staff. After the effectiveness clinical trial, two cohorts of clinic patients will receive the intervention in a sustainability test.
Patients who are involved in a clinical protocol driven 12 week medical weight loss intervention will be randomized to receive either a placebo or 600 mg of an ashwagandha root extract. The study endpoints are primarily the patients self-reported perception of life stress and sleep quality. The working hypothesis of this study is that the addition of aschwagandha to .the medical weight loss program will improve the self-reported perception of life stress and sleep quality
This research study is being done to determine whether taking a dietary supplement called capsinoids, derived from sweet peppers, can activate brown fat that is already present or even generate new brown fat in individuals with excess weight. Previous studies have suggested that chronic consumption of capsinoids may be able to generate new brown fat in thin individuals. Capsinoids may also have a small positive effect on metabolism (increased calorie-burning) and fat loss. The knowledge gained in this study may eventually lead to more treatment options for people with excess weight.
In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of whey protein supplementation given before night sleep on Fat Free Mass (FFM) preservation during a 4 wk period on Very Low Caloric Diet (VLCD). Half of the participants underwent a 4 week VLCD and walking program, while the other half underwent a 4 week VLCD, walking program and had an additional protein supplement before each night sleep.
Tranexamic acid is a drug that prevents clotted blood from dissolving and hence reduces bleeding. It is routinely given intravenously in many surgical situations where there is a risk of major bleeding. Concerns regarding possible adverse effects from intravenous use prevents a more widespread use, even in smaller surgeries. Topical application - using the drug directly on the wound surface- may give a higher concentration at the site of bleeding but a lower concentration in the rest of the body, and hence a lower risk of adverse effects. Here it will be investigated to what extent a defined dose of the drug is absorbed systemically - into the blood stream - when it is applied topically. This will then be compared to the concentration in the blood stream when administered intravenously. Blood samples will be obtained at defined time intervals after administration from patients receiving topical and patients receiving intravenous administration of the same single dose of tranexamic acid. Will less of the drug enter the blood stream if it is applied directly to the wound?
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in presence of a reduced calorie diet, a breakfast containing high quality protein source (eggs) would be more effective in reducing hunger and increasing feeling of fullness compared to a breakfast containing a lower quality of protein, but equal energy density. A previous pilot study with the same endpoints yielded borderline significant results; this study has been powered based on that pilot to interrogate our hypotheses.
The purpose of this study is to A) capture obesogenic cues that occur in daily life, and B) to deliver cue alerts. Investigators hypothesized that A) black women experience more cues, B) racial disparities in obesity are reduced in models that adjust for cues, and C) the priming arm will achieve a weight loss of 2kg or more. Investigators will explore whether racial disparities in weight loss differ between the groups receiving usual care or those receiving cues.
