This project will be a three-group controlled 6-wk feeding study where all meals are prepared and provided to obese participants. All participants will be fed a 25% energy-restricted diet. Two diets will be very low in carbohydrate (i.e., ketogenic diets) designed to induce nutritional ketosis and fat loss. Another diet will be low in fat and saturated fat but contain the same total calories. Participants will be randomly assigned to a Ketone Supplement group who are provided an exogenous pre-formed source of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) or a Control group that only receives the standard ketogenic diet. Randomization will be stratified based on insulin resistance, sex, and body composition to ensure balanced group assignment. Because of timing of recruitment (i.e., after most of the ketogenic groups have already completed the study), the low-fat group will not be randomized. Outcome measurements will be made at various intervals over the 6-wk intervention.
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically worldwide, of which 34.3% and 16.4% of adults in China are overweight and obese, respectively, ranking first in the world's obese population. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors that inhibits glucose reabsorption and promotes urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting renal proximal tubular sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The urinary glucose excretion induced by dapagliflozin can induce weight loss through energy loss or body water loss caused by osmotic diuresis. In addition, in patients with type 2 diabetes, dapagliflozin may also induce weight loss by reducing body fat as well as subcutaneous and visceral fat.In a randomized controlled trial, type 2 diabetes patients treated with sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors lost approximately 1-3 kg. Also, sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors have shown good weight loss in obese people without type 2 diabetes. In real-world studies, a minority of type 2 diabetes patients taking dapagliflozin experienced weight gain. The American Lipid Association defines a low carbohydrate diet as the calorie intake of carbohydrates accounting for 10-25% of the total daily energy intake. In a randomized controlled trial, a low-carbon diet showed a more significant decrease in body weight, fat mass index, whole body fat, and visceral fat after 8 weeks compared to the standard diet. So, this study intends to investigate whether the weight loss effect of dapagliflozin is affected by different dietary structures.
Researchers thought that the molecules Sfrp-5, Resistin and Netrin-4, which will be examine, they may have a significant effect on weight gain during pregnancy. Based on these foundations, researchers expect changes in the levels of these molecules in women who gain excessive weight during pregnancy. In this study, researchers aimed to examine the moderator relationship between the molecules will be examine and weight gain in women who gained weight above the normal limits determined during pregnancy. For this reason, 44 participant who gained excessive weight during pregnancy and 46 pregnant participant who gained normal weight were included in the study. The levels of Netrin-4, Sfrp-5 and Resistin molecules in the blood serum of the individuals in the study group were measured with a Commercial Elisa kit.
This single-center, randomized controlled pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TruHeight Growth Protein Shake on improving growth patterns in children aged 4-17 years. Over six months, participants will consume the protein shake daily, five times a week, with outcomes measured in terms of type X collagen concentration in urine, height via a stadiometer, and body composition using an INBODY device.
To study the effects of probiotic supplementation with a weight loss program and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on anthropometric measures, eating behavior, food addiction, and related hormone levels in patients with food addiction and weight regain after bariatric surgery, 50 patients who referred to obesity clinic with weight regain (regaining ≥10% nadir weight) after bariatric surgery (at least 18 months), and food addiction will be randomly allocated to receive a weight loss program and CBT plus either probiotic, or placebo for 12 weeks. At the first and the end of the intervention, anthropometric measurements, eating behavior, food addiction, leptin, serotonin, and oxytocin will be assessed and compared between groups.
The study aimed to explore the complex relationship between various systemic inflammatory indices and birth weight
Evidence shows that anti-fat attitudes and weight stigma are prevalent among healthcare professionals and may affect treatment decisions regarding patients with obesity. The present study aimed to examine the presence of anti-fat attitudes and weight stigma among orthopedic surgeons and their correlation to the therapeutic approach to patients with obesity. In this cross-sectional survey, 150 orthopedic surgeons will complete a web-based questionnaire. the questionnaire is based on Antifat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA), developed by Crandall in 1994. In addition, the questionnaire will include a questionnaire developed by Bocquier in 200521 to explore weight stigma among physicians.
Prolonged dietary protein restriction has been shown to increase energy expenditure in mice simultaneously with an increase in plasma FGF21 levels. In overfeeding studies, a protein-restricted diet reduces weight gain in both mice and humans compared with normal and high-protein diets. Further, in energy balance studies, when lean men are provided with a protein-restricted diet for five weeks, an increase in energy intake was necessary to obtain their body weight. However, whether the effect of a protein-restricted diet is the same when consumed by overweight to obese men has divergent results in both mice and humans.
The physical and mental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been examined by many researchers, but this study aims to evaluate in every aspect how university students who had to receive education with the distance education model due to the pandemic went through this process. Data regarding people's positive and negative habits from anthropometric characteristics and sleep quality, which is one of the sub-dimensions of healthy lifestyle behaviors, were evaluated, and the relationship between these parameters was examined in detail.
