Filter by:This is an intervention study aiming to test the effectiveness of a vegan diet, My Plate with low purine choices, and amla fruits on uric acid and other cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with high serum uric acid levels.
This is a pilot study evaluating an online cardiometabolic and weight loss program which is offered by The Wellness Institute. The program is 16 weeks and is developed by a multidisciplinary team and delivered by a degreed health professional (health coach) to assist participants in achieving their personal wellness goals. This study will also investigate the impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) on participants lifestyles and access to lifestyle programs and supports.
The primary purpose of this proof-of-activity, phase 2 trial is to evaluate the safety and activity of orticumab in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis and cardiometabolic risk factors.
The investigators are examining the effects of potato consumption on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in overweight and obese individuals with type two diabetes mellitus (T2D) to provide feasible and effective dietary ways for individuals to enhance their quality of life. The overall objective of this crossover study is to collect data regarding the effects of potato consumption on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health among overweight and obese individuals with T2D. The central hypothesis of this crossover study is that the daily consumption of 100 g white potato for 12 weeks will contribute to improvements in glycemic control, reductions in inflammation, and improvements in blood lipids and vascular function in overweight and obese individuals with T2D compared to a macronutrient-matched refined grain (75 g cooked long-grain white rice) for 12 weeks (with a 2 week washout period between interventions). Specific Aim) The assessment of blood glucose control, vascular function, body composition and overall cardiovascular risk after consumption of potatoes (100g/d for 12 weeks) in individuals with T2D compared to a calorie matched refined grain at the initial baseline visit as well as the 6-, and 12-week study visits (for each 12-week intervention period). This aim will assess changed in blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-β as well as the following: 1. blood pressure (BP) 2. markers of endothelial function [flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and endothelin-1 (ET-1)] 3. markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein) 4. body composition via bioelectrical impedance (BIA), lean mass and fat mass assessment 5. lipid profiles, consisting of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL). Atherogenic risk ratios (TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, HDL-C/LDL-C) will also be assessed 6. anthropometrics [weight, height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WC/HC)]
Visceral obesity and adipose inflammation is considered a driving force of obesity-related systemic disease, e.g. cardiometabolic disease, liver cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammatory resolution is actively regulated by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including the endogenous eicosanoid LXA4. Impairment of SPMs may underlie development of obesity-related pathology.We hypothesize that obese patients who develop obesity-related disease do so because they suffer from impaired endogenous production of pro-resolving lipids. This will result in aggravated adipose inflammation and fibrosis, which contribute to the systemic pathologies. We thus wish to investigate adipose inflammation and the pro-resolving lipid profile of obese subjects with and without obesity associated metabolic disease. We also aim to investigate whether LXA4, LXB4 and other anti-inflammatory agents (such as AICAR) can alter the phenotype of human adipose macrophages in ex vivo tissue culture. We also investigate basic pathways in inflammatory regulation and obesity related cardiometabolic disease.
