Filter by:With REMD's glucagon receptor antagonist, the study team propose to provide a comprehensive examination of the effect of elevated plasma glucagon concentrations in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) patients on: (i) glucose tolerance; (ii) insulin sensitivity in liver, muscle, and adipocytes; (iii) beta cell function; (iv) adipocyte inflammation.
The two main questions that this research study will answer: 1. will a 16-week community-based diabetes prevention program for delivery to at-risk mothers and children in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) setting show (a) pre- and post-intervention improvements to Type 2 Diabetes risk factors in 60 mother-child dyads; (b) intervention vs. control improvements to T2D risk factors in 30 mother-child dyads; and (c) maintenance effects to changes to Type 2 Diabetes risk factors in 30 mother-child dyads; and 2. based on the acceptability, adoption, relevance to FQHC and participants, feasibility, fidelity, program costs, and factors influencing sustainability of this program, can it be disseminated nationwide to other FQHC's? The investigators hypothesize that participants (a) will show improvements following the intervention to T2D risk factors, (b) in the intervention will show significant improvements to T2D risk factors in versus the controls, and (c) will maintain the benefits beyond the 16-week intervention. The investigators also predict that this program will meet criteria to be disseminated nationwide to other FQHC's.
Overweight/obese Chinese and prediabetes will be recruited and divided into three age-matched groups including high intensity exercise, moderate intensity exercise, and non-exercise groups. The exercise program will consist of three sessions per week over the course of 12 weeks, under the supervision of our in-house exercise specialists and physiologists. The effects of exercise on glucose and lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity and adiposity will be evaluated.
