Filter by:This multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of berberine on preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus among individuals with high cardiometabolic risk in China.
This is a prospective collection of data from adult patients who have had an endoscopic metabolic and bariatric endoscopy procedure (EMBT) for primary or revision surgical procedures for obesity.
Adipose tissue secreting a number of adipokines which regulate insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and vascular homeostasis, so the dysfunction of adipose tissue is linked with the incidence of obesity accompanied with insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (1). Obesity is known to alters the expression of adipokines due to the adipose tissue hypertrophy (2), including adiponectin, in which able to exert a potent anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effect (2). It has been proposed that adiponectin acts to prevent the vascular dysfunction due to obesity and diabetes by improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and protects the vasculature through its pleiotropic actions on endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages (1). The concentrations of adiponectin of 5 to 25 mg/mL had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule induced by TNF-α in vitro. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which adhesion molecules on arterial endothelial cells are responsible for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes. While obesity is low-grade inflammation in which make a contribution on endothelial dysfunction by increasing the oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) due to adipocyte hypertrophy, leads to an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction (3). Adiponectin is accumulated in the vasculature, and it reduced on obesity due to suppression by TNF-α and lead to adiponectin-deficiency which stimulate the significant increases of Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or known as CD54 in aortic intima (4). Here we investigate the level of adiponectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 with the incidence of MetS in obese adolescents.
Investigate the effect of a probiotic (live bacteria) and postbiotic (heat-treated bacteria) strains in overweight individuals.
Dose-ranging, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study
In a previous study, 24 volunteers consumed two conventional eggs or two eggs naturally enriched with omega 3, 5 and 7 every day for 3 months. It was shown that these eggs were well tolerated and that the omega enrichment led to a reduction in waist circumference of 3 cm in 3 months. The objective of Omegasnack study was therefore to go further in the evaluation of these effects on waist circumference; 1) confirm the effects of these eggs on waist circumference when included in a snack, 2) determine whether this reduction in waist circumference is linked to a reduction in muscle and/or fat mass (subcutaneous and/or visceral) and 3) evaluate whether these effects are associated with a modification in the accumulation of ectopic fat in the muscle and/or liver.
In this randomized, placebo controlled, double blind trial, effects of relatively high doses of chicken protein hydrolysate (CPH) or casein hydrolysate (placebo) supplementation will be investigate in healthy persons with abdominal obesity. The 12-week study examines potential effects on body weight, abdominal obesity, body composition, plasma parameters of metabolic health including lipids, inflammatory parameters, redox state and microbiota biomarkers.
The objective of this double-blind, parallel, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of consumption of polyphenol-rich cranberry extract standardized in PACs (36 mg PACs/capsule) on cardiometabolic and neurocognitive health in women and men presenting abdominal obesity over an 8-week intervention period. The study will be conducted at Quebec Heart and Lung Institute - Laval University. The study will involve a total of 60 adult men and women presenting abdominal obesity. Included participants will be randomly assigned to the consumption of a cranberry extract or a placebo at a rate of one capsule per day for 8 weeks (56 days). The main outcomes are changes in metabolic profile, neurocognitive performance as well as brain structure and function following polyphenol-rich cranberry extract standardized in PACs compared with the placebo.
Weight control is an essential part of treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Weight loss is associated with decreased haemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels. In particular, visceral fat is accompanied by more alterations in glucose and lipid metabolism. Quantification of visceral fat with bioimpedance (BIA) is closely related to measurement with computed axial tomography. Different available oral antidiabetics cause weight loss and total body fat (biguanides, DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors), but it has only been shown that SLGT2 inhibitors decrease visceral fat. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the amount of visceral fat measured with BIA in T2D patients between three oral antidiabetic regimens after twelve weeks of treatment, to compare the effect on visceral fat between metformin, DPP4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors.
Abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with the hyperactivation of the endocannabinoid system. Several animal and human studies indicate that circulating endocannabinoid (EC) levels are correlated with body fat. Thus, adipose tissue, which possesses the enzymatic machinery for the synthesis of ECs, could be the main producer of plasma ECs. Today, it is clearly established that stimulation of the endocannabinoid system, via activation of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1s) located in the brain, leads to increased food intake and weight gain. Moreover, peripheral CB1s present in organs such as the liver, muscles and adipose tissue are involved in the establishment of metabolic deregulations linked to obesity (steatosis, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia). Thus, ECs produced by adipose tissue could play a key role in the regulation of carbohydrate-lipid homeostasis through their autocrine or paracrine actions by activating central and peripheral CB1s. Therefore, the objective of this study is to: 1. clarify whether obesity, associated or not with diabetes, leads to an overproduction of ECs (specifying which ones) by visceral or subcutaneous adipose tissue 2. to determine whether blocking CB1s with new peripherally acting antagonists can lead to a reduction in the production of ECs by adipose tissue. This study will also provide an opportunity to evaluate the production of adipokines and cytokines involved in the control of energy homeostasis under the different experimental conditions.
