Filter by:The glycation extent of human hemoglobin is under control of the Maillard reaction, a chemical interaction between an amino acide and a reducing sugar. About 5% ( 31.1 mmol/mol) of hemoglobin molecules secluded in a red blood cell are glycated; excessive values > 6.5% point to prediabetes or overt diabetes mellitus. To ascertain the diagnosis doctors prescribe oral glucose tolerance upon which glucose concentrations in blood increase - how much HbA1c reacts under these circumstances is ill known.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring collected using the iPro device, to complete a large dataset consisting of routine electronic health records, biological, neurophysiological, physiological, and glycemic data. This dataset will eventually contribute to the further development and optimization of a comprehensive simulation, training, and clinical decision support system designed to contribute the optimization of glycemic control in the hospital and critical care setting.
The investigators hypothesise that patients with type 1 diabetes have clinically relevant, but often unrecognised, episodes of arrhythmias linked to episodes of hypoglycaemia and/or clinically significant fluctuations in plasma glucose.
This is a multicenter observational clinical study in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of glycemic variability (GV) on stroke outcome (mortality, functional recovery) of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Glycemic variability will be assessed using a subcutaneous device for continuous glycaemia motorization during 96 hours; also capillar glycaemia will be measured every 6 hours.
In Singapore, the Ministry of Health has declared a "War on Diabetes" and major efforts will be made to develop and deploy programs to prevent diabetes. One of the cornerstones of diabetes management involves dietary modifications to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia. However, implementation of a low GI diet is highly complex requiring the individual to choose foods from a long list which are primarily based on western consumption patterns. Many foods in the Asian diet, which largely consist of carbohydrates such as white rice, noodles and other flour based products, are not represented. An alternative solution will require innovative ways to alter commonly available food products that will not only help reduce postprandial glycaemia but also preserve the sensory characteristics of the foods to create a new generation of food products both functional and palatable. One such approach is the incorporation of plant compounds that lower the glucose absorption from foods. The aim of the project is to measure the GI of carbohydrate-based food with edible plant derived molecules. Natural, plant-derived anthocyanin will be incorporated into bread to produce low GI bread. Anthocyanins are well known for its anti-oxidant activity and recent studies reported that anthocyanins also had an inhibitory activity against digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates. It can potentially inhibit amylase, and suppress the increase in postprandial glucose level from starch. Bread is a carbohydrate-rich product, which contains a high amount of rapidly digestible starch, and therefore many of them have a high GI. This study aims to determine the glycaemic effects of anthocyanin fortified bread. The effort is designed to enable and inform population interventions that will have an impact on the health of the population in a sustainable manner by introducing innovative foods into the food supply that are 'health promoting' based on rigorous human experiments and are acceptable to the public and other major stakeholders.
The study aims at establishing the profile of the immune reaction that occurs in the early surgical suites after pancreatectomy. Blood samples will be collected before surgery, (Day-1), at day0, and after surgery at Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 at 1 year after pancreatectomy. Mass cytometry, genomic and transcriptomic approaches will be used to evaluate the immune systemic modulation after surgery.
This pilot project will determine whether a diet culturally-adapted to Puerto Ricans can effectively decrease cardiometabolic risk for diabetes. This will help define a culturally-appropriate, feasible, and sustainable diet intervention aimed at reducing type 2 diabetes and obesity outcomes.
The composition of a food or a meal consumed plays an important role in the rate of postprandial endocrine and metabolic response, especially if high in fats, sugars and total energy content and a reduction in its entity is related to beneficial effects towards the prevention of several chronical diseases. The physiological postprandial response depends on several factors, both intrinsic, such as natural characteristic of food, and extrinsic, such as the way in which food is processed. This study aims at investigating postprandial hormonal, metabolic, oxidative stress, inflammation and endotoxaemia responses after the consumption of different commercial confectionary products made with different reformulation (ingredients and/or processing techniques).The principal scope of the study is to evaluate the impact of the reformulation of different snacks on postprandial responses. The investigators therefore designed a randomized controlled crossover trial, in which 15 healthy volunteers will consume different isocaloric confectionary products (snacks) and their related reformulation (total products number = 6) and a reference snack. Venous blood samples will be collected until 4-h after meal consumption. In order to evaluate postprandial hormonal, metabolic, oxidative stress, inflammation and endotoxaemia responses several markers will be evaluate: - metabolic substrates: glucose; Triglycerides and NEFA; - hormones: insulin; c-peptide; GLP-1, GIP, leptin, ghrelin, PYY; - markers of inflammation: IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, hsCRP, MCP-1; - markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity: GSH, FRAP; - endotoxaemia: lipopolysaccharides (LPS). These results will contribute to a detailed evaluation of the effects of reformulation on physiological events after meal consumption, leading to clarify if these variations in ingredients and/or processing techniques can modify postprandial responses, making them more similar to those originated from the reference snack.
Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of two different dosages of milk peptides on postprandial blood glucose profile in prediabetic subjects compared to placebo. This will be investigated in a cross-over double blind randomized placebo controlled study design. Additionally, long term effects on glucose status, insulin sensitivity and postprandial blood glucose profile will be investigated in a follow up 6-week open label phase with the low dose only.
Supplementation with citrus bioflavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, diosmin and eriocitrin, among others) has been associated with an improvement in the glycidic and lipid profile, reduction of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, and reduction of endothelial damage. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eriocitrin supplementation on the metabolic parameters of pre-diabetic individuals. Participants will be adults with pre-diabetes who will receive 200 mg / d of eriocitrin. Before, during and after treatment, anthropometric measures (weight, body composition and circumferences), biochemical (lipid and glucose profile, inflammatory parameters, endothelial markers, liver function, renal function) will be evaluated. Metabolic parameters that constitute risk factors for diabetes and associated chronic diseases are expected to be improved by supplementation with eriocitrin.
