NCT ID: NCT03283579 Completed - Clinical trials for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Fatty Acids and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms

Start date: November 2003
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association between n-6:n-3 LCPUFAs ratio in cord blood and child ADHD symptoms at 4 and 7 years old. This study was based on the INMA project, a population-based birth cohort in Spain. Higher cord blood n-6:n-3 ratio was associated with higher subclinical ADHD symptoms during early and mid-childhood.

NCT ID: NCT02980094 Completed - Nutrient Deficiency Clinical Trials

Milk Biofortification Promotes Health Benefits in Institutionalized Elderly

Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project aims to study the effects of inclusion of sunflower oil, vitamin E and selenium in the diet of dairy cows on milk composition and the influence of modified milk on nutrition and health of elderly. To achieve those goals, two experiments will be conducted, both lasting 12 weeks. In the first one, 32 cows at the beginning of lactation will be allotted in a completely randomized block design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, as follow: 1) control diet; 2) control diet plus selenium and vitamin E; 3) control diet plus sunflower oil diet; 4) control diet plus sunflower oil, selenium and vitamin E. This experiment seeks the development of modified milks through nutritional manipulation of cow's diet. Concomitantly, in the second experiment, 132 elderly people will receive the four different kinds of milk produced in the first experiment in a completely randomized block (gender) design. The selection of the elderly for each group shall be composed clinical evaluations. Will be conducted biochemical tests before and after supplementation of milk consumption (serum α-tocopherol, selenium, analysis of fatty acid profile). Assessment of nutritional status will be made body mass index (BMI) with each participant before and after the experiment of 12 weeks, including body composition by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), evaluating the strength of pressure of the hand portable dynamometer, demographics and food consumption. The study of human nutrition and health will be held in the form of a double-blind study. The second experiment aims to study nutrition and health of elderly people, as it is expected that milk produced with better fatty acid profile, vitamin and minerals can improve the inflammatory profile of markers of the elderly. This project is important for the human population in general, particularly elderly people, health workers, human and animal nutritionists, and especially for the milk chain, as it has a potential to develop new dairy products and boost milk consumption.

NCT ID: NCT02957838 Completed - Type2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Mitochondrial Effects of C18:0 Supplementation in Humans

Start date: November 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this crossover study is to determine whether nutritional supplementation of C18:0 in humans has mitochondrial effects as shown in Drosophila and human cell culture. We will compare a study cohort of patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes with non-diabetics. Participants will undergo a 2-day low-fat vegan diet and will then be supplemented with a bolus of C18:0. Changes in the mitochondrial morphology and function of white blood cells will be scored by immunofluorescence and FACS analysis.

NCT ID: NCT01626508 Completed - Clinical trials for Infant, Premature, Diseases

Prospective Evaluation in Older Premature, Untreated Breast Milk and Milk Processed by the Breast-milk Bank

ADiLL
Start date: June 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the enteral nutrition type (untreated breast milk, or breast milk processed by the breast-milk bank) on the longitudinal evolution of the total content and plasma profile of essential fatty acids (EFA) in a population of premature infants.

NCT ID: NCT00585390 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency Replacement in Early Schizophrenia

Start date: January 2008
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that omega-3 fatty acids has on schizophrenia.
