Filter by:The aim of the research is to (1) evaluate the potential clinical effectiveness and biological mechanisms of indoor cycling in the treatment of obesity and (2) provide-up-to-date evidence on the impact of indoor cycling in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, namely, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesize that IC training, can be a good stimulus to mitigate cardiovascular risk factors in women with obesity and to improve values of the examined indicators towards that occurring in women with normal body weight. The study was designed as a prospective exercise intervention trial. The study involved women with obesity (OW) and women with normal body weight (NW). Both study groups underwent the same 3-month physical training program. Outside the implemented program, all participants were instructed to maintain their normal physical activity, diet and not to use any dietary supplements. Dietary intake was assessed using interviews conducted at baseline and after completion of the trial. The amount of nutrients in participant's daily diet was processed and evaluated using a dietetics computer program. The intake of nutrients, total caloric intake during the study were constant in both groups. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure and physical capacity were measured and blood samples were taken at baseline and after completion of the physical training program. The study involved 31 obese or normal weight women aged 34-62. A total of 23 women with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2; waist circumference > 80 cm) registered and screened from among 163 women at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Internal Medicine, Metabolic Disorders, and Hypertension, University of Medical Sciences, Poznań, Poland were enrolled to OW group. The NW group consisted of 8 healthy women from the announcement (BMI ≤ 24.9 and ≥ 18.5 kg/m2). Informed consent was obtained from all participants, and the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Poznan University of Medical Sciences (case no. 1077/12; supplement no. 753/13). The study conformed to all ethical issues included in the Helsinki Declaration. The 3-month intervention consisted of a physical exercise program involving three indoor cycling sessions per week, with a total of 36 training sessions. Subjects exercised on cycle ergometers Schwinn® Evolution® (Schwinn Bicycle Company, Boulder, Colorado, USA). Each session lasted approximately 55 minutes. Training sessions consisted of a 5-min low-intensity warm-up (cycling at 50-65% of maximum heart rate (HRmax)), 40 min of main training at an intensity of 65-95% of HRmax, 5 min of non-weight-bearing cycling, finishing with 5 min of low-intensity cool-down stretching and breathing exercises. Main part of the training was interval. Each exercise session consisted of 3 to 4 high intensity intervals with intensity exceeding 80% of HRmax, often reaching anaerobic threshold. High intensity intervals lasted approximately 4-minutes and were interspersed by recovery periods at 65-80% of HRmax. HR during sessions was monitored with a Suunto Fitness Solution® device (Suunto, Vantaa, Finland). To ensure that assigned exercise intensities were obtained, the average per cent of the maximum heart rate during the entire training session was obtained from the device Blood samples for biochemical analyses were taken from a basilic vein, after overnight 12-hour fasting. In the serum samples, parameters were measured using commercially available enzyme-linked immunoassays. Both before and after the whole training programme, the following measurements were made: body weight and height, BMI, waist and hip circumference, WHR, body composition (DXA), total-body skeletal muscle mass index, graded exercise test, isokinetic muscle strength of knee flexors and extensors, exercise and resting blood pressure, and the heart rate. Vascular endothelial function indices (eNOS, VEGF, TBARS and TAS) as well as TCH, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, oxLDL and CRP of venous blood were determined. A sample size was determined according to changes in VO2 peak. A total of 6 subjects in OW group and 7 subjects in NW group was calculated to yield at least 80% power of detecting an intervention effect as statistically significant at the 0.05 α level.
The main objective of the study is to assess the serum levels of progranulin and FAM19A5 protein in adults with metabolic syndrome.
A study to evaluate the efficacy of K-877 extended release (ER) once daily (QD) compared to K-877 immediate release (IR) twice daily (BID).
The European NAFLD Registry is a prospectively recruited, observational study supporting the study of the clinical phenotype, natural history, disease outcomes and pathophysiology of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis. The ultimate goals are to better understand the drivers of interpatient variation in disease pathophysiology and severity and to utilise this information to develop and validate biomarkers that, singly or in combination, enable detection and monitoring of disease progression and/or from NAFL through NASH to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
This study looked at the effect of vitamin D levels on the complications of type 2 diabetes and the fat profile of patients with diabetes.Participants in this study were divided into two groups. One group included participants with vitamin D deficiency and the other group did not.The first group receives 50,000 units of oral vitamin D 3 daily for up to 8 days.
This study aims to evaluate the reliability of a shortened fat tolerance test ("abbreviated fat tolerance test", or "AFTT") for measuring post-meal lipids in human blood. The reliability of the triglyceride results in this test are compared to the reliability of the glucose results from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a widely-used and clinically accepted metabolic test.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of conducting a multicomponent lifestyle intervention research study within the UAB Family Medicine Clinic at Highlands and to obtain preliminary data on the effectiveness of the adaptive treatment strategies being investigated to produce improvements in insulin resistance. This study is a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) with initial randomization groups of individualized nutrition counseling vs. individualized exercise counseling. Note that these initial nutrition or exercise interventions are NOT intended to produce significant weight loss. Participants that do not sufficiently improve their insulin resistance score after 8 weeks will be re-randomized to 2nd stage interventions of either receiving dietary counseling for weight loss or receiving a prescription for metformin. We will collect data on the effectiveness of the intervention to improve insulin resistance/metabolic health in the family medicine clinic as well as potential predictors or moderators of treatment success.
to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CKD-828, D326, and D337 combination therapy in Hypertensive patients with Dyslipidemia
As a result of unhealthful lifestyle practices including nighttime ingestion and excess energy-dense food and beverage intake, college students are presenting with metabolic abnormalities and excess weight gain that increases their risk for chronic health conditions including cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Research has shown that prolonging nightly fasting intervals can result in health improvements in both animal models and human subjects. Time-restricted feeding (TRF), a form of intermittent fasting may offer an exciting, non-pharmacologic approach to improve cardiometabolic health in this population by restricting food intake to feeding windows that align with circadian biology.
A randomized, parallel two-arm interventional study, the patients were divided into 1:1 ratio, in which both groups offered optimal pharmacological therapy also one group (interventional) offered predesign pharmaceutical care plan aimed to improved patients knowledge, adherence, satisfaction, and quality of life, while the other group (non-interventional) received conventional pharmaceutical care plan.
