Filter by:This study will systematically quantify the effects of protein pacing and intermittent fasting (P-IF) on total and regional (abdominal) body composition (lean mass and fat mass), blood glucose and lipids, and anti-aging biomarkers, hunger ratings, and the gut microbiome in 40 overweight/obese adult men (n=20) and women (n=20) following a 8-week weight loss intervention. Participants will be enrolled in the study as a single cohort and participate in a 8-week weight loss (WL) trial consisting of a single dietary intervention phase. The purpose of the additional 12 month follow up case study (in addition to the initial 12-month case study period) is to scientifically document a significant weight loss and improved body composition following combined protein pacing intermittent fasting nutrition and a safe, effective exercise program in a study participant who achieved successful weight loss maintenance during the previous 12 month follow up study period.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the daily consumption of 5 g of milk polar lipids influences serum lipids and gut microbiota composition in healthy adults.
The overall objective of this project is to understand how consuming a prescribed diet of different infant foods (which may contain cereals,fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy) during the time of early complementary feeding (~5 to 12 months) in breastfed infants has on growth trajectories, neurodevelopment and sleep patterns in relation to gut microbiota, compared with a traditional diet that is usually provided in the home to infants. The three primary aims include: Aim 1: Identify the effects that the prescribed early complementary feeding specific study diet has on growth trajectories in breastfed infants. Aim 2: Identify whether the relationship between the prescribed early complementary feeding specific study diet and growth is mediated by gut microbiota. Aim 3: Characterize infant neurodevelopment and sleep patterns.
The human intestinal tract harbors a diverse and complex microbial community, known as gut microbiota, which is critical in sustaining physiology, metabolism, nutrition and immune function. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been linked with obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, inflammatory bowel disease and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Gut microbiota is affected by host genetic markup, diet and life style; and therefore varied by human races and geographical locations. The development of gut microbiota starts before birth. The infant's microbiome can impact on human health in later life. The microbiome of pregnant women are associated with early-life microbiota of their offspring as well as growth, neurodevelopment and the development of allergic and neurocognitive disorders. Early childhood, when the microbiota is less mature and more malleable, is a golden age for microbiota manipulation to prevent disease. Studying microbiota at this golden age also allow us to dissect the development of a faulty microbiota and identify therapeutic targets to reverse it and cure diseases that are already developed.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether consuming snacks containing different blends of dietary fibers alters the type and number of bacteria found in your gut and improves markers of overall health.
The primary goal of this project is to determine the effects of exercise on the gut microbiome in breast cancer survivors and determine how these changes may relate to psychosocial symptoms such as fatigue.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) supplementation on sleep quality and gut microbiome composition in older adults with normal cognition vs. mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using a randomized controlled trial.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
This study intends to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.
We will compeer fecal microbiome in preterm birth with fecal microbiome of team labor
