Filter by:A combination of generally regarded as safe (GRAS) compounds named GLY-LOW, which included: alpha lipoic acid, pyridoxamine, nicotinamide, piperine and thiamine, were examined in pre-clinical experiments. GLY-LOW supplementation reduced caloric intake and increased insulin sensitivity in mice. In female mice, GLY-LOW supplementation reversed aging-related declines in female hormones. Studies in humans are needed to examine the feasibility, utility and efficacy of GLY-LOW supplementation in post-menopausal women with obesity toward improving aging-related impairments. The effect of GLY-LOW supplementation on these obesity and biological age-related impairments in post-menopausal adult female humans with obesity is unknown. We aim to translate the findings of GLY-LOW supplementation in animals to a cohort of healthy, postmenopausal females at birth with obesity by conducting a one-group, no-placebo comparer, pre post intervention clinical trial. Additionally, we propose to examine the specific effect of supplementation by GLY-LOW on biological aging via retina scan. The objectives of the proposed pilot study are: I. Conduct a 6-month pilot study to examine the feasibility, utility and efficacy of GLY-LOW supplementation in a total of 40 postmenopausal female born adults > 55 years with obesity (> 30 BMI) Ia. Examine alterations in self-reported caloric intake and the following health and biological aging, parameters prior to and after 6 months of GLY-LOW supplementation: 1. Self-reported Caloric Intake 2. Metabolic disease risk 3. Cardiovascular disease risk 4. Metabolic assessments 5. Hormones 6. Physical Function and Fitness 7. Muscular strength 8. Cognitive Function and Depression assessments 9. Systemic inflammation 10. Biological aging 11. Safety parameters (also every 2 months during the intervention; ECG at baseline and 2 months only) 12, Compliance measures (pill counts and interviews every 2 months during the intervention)
There is currently no prognostic or predictive risk marker for this urethral stricture disease. The most conservative standard treatment for urethral stricture (internal urethrotomy) has a very high recurrence rate (greater than 75%) and, on many occasions, reconstructive urologists have to choose within a great variety of further complex interventions. Knowing risk and predictive markers of this disease could help to optimize both the need and the approach for these surgeries and may offer a more individualized management to patients.
This pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT; walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete or complete spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that LT+TRT treatment will improve muscle size and bone mineral density in men with low T and ambulatory dysfunction after incomplete or complete SCI, along with muscle fundtion and walking recovery in men with T low and ambulatory dysfunction ater incomplete SCI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) therapy on sexual hormone deficiency in the middle-aged patients
