Filter by:The goal of this protocol is to evaluate the effect of addhing linagliptin to patients with prediabetes who do not reverse to normoglycemia after 12 months of treatment with metformin alone. The duration of the study will be 6 months, and it is primarily a efficacy study. Main outcomes will be glucose levels during OGTT, insulin secretion and pancreatic beta cell function measured by the disposition index derived from the OGTT.
Type 2 diabetes is spreading worldwide as well as obesity. Metformin is the most prescribed antidiabetic medication. One suggested mechanism of action is by decreasing carbohydrate absorption. It is usually recommended to take metformin during the meal to decrease gastrointestinal side effects. However, if metformin decreases carbohydrate absorption, this might not be the most efficient intake. To study the influence of preprandial metformin administration on carbohydrate absorption, it will repeat 3 oral glucose tolerance test on obese dysglycemic patients, without metformin or with metformin administer 30 or 60 minutes before. We will also evaluate how it impacts gastrointestinal tolerance.
This project will determine exercise capacity and molecular markers of the response to acute exercise in human subjects with impaired or normal glucose tolerance.
The primary objective is to examine the impact of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) blockade with medications (valsartan) or RAAS and neprilysin inhibition (valsartan/sacubitril) vs. placebo on changes in blood sugar and insulin secretion from the pancreas over 26 weeks assessed with glucose clamp studies among African Americans (AAs) with impaired glucose tolerance. The investigators hypothesize that combined RAAS/neprilysin inhibition will lead to greater improvement in insulin release from the pancreas and improved blood sugar compared to RAAS inhibition alone among AAs with impaired glucose tolerance.
Diabetes contributes significantly to the burden of disease in Norway and cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality. Both lean and fatty fish are shown to have beneficial health effects. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, fish contain potential health-promoting components such as taurine, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iodine, selenium and more unspecified components such as bioactive peptides. With the expected growth in the aquaculture sector, more protein-rich by-products will become available. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the health beneficial effects of fish protein in the form of salmon fishmeal in a human intervention study with regard to metabolic risk markers. We will include subjects with impaired glucose tolerance to a randomized controlled parallel study. The subjects will receive capsules with fishmeal or placebo.
Purpose of the study: - to assess the efficacy of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance - to assess the safety of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance.
It is well known that Chitosan oligosaccharide is low molecular weight and water soluble and chitosan oligosaccharide has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol and blood pressure, increase immunity, and enhance antitumor properties. the effect of chitosan oligosaccharide (GO2KA1) supplementation on glucose control in subjects with normal blood glucose, impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance.
The primary objective of the proposed study is to examine and understand the impact of long-term almond consumption on chronic glucose metabolism in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose.
To investigate whether intensive metabolic intervention of PCOS women before pregnancy can improve pregnancy outcome.Besides, the investigators aim to investigate the best therapy strategy of metabolic intervention before pregnancy.The investigators plan to recruit PCOS women at childbearing age. By using acarbose, GLP-1 analogue, berberin et al. the investigators will intervent the participants' metabolic statues for 3 months before pregnancy and to compare outcome in each group.
Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) is an abnormal metabolic state following glucose metabolic steady state but prior to diabetes. IGT is an important stage during the progression of diabetes, with an underlying mechanism of insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction. IGT is one of the diseases that shows significant beneficial response to acupuncture treatment. Original findings from the investigators'laboratory show that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) which is innervated by vagus nerve, would enhance the activity of pancreatic β cells, promote the secretion of insulin, upregulate the expression of insulin receptors in central as well as peripheral tissues, thus to improve glycometabolism. In this study, the investigators would further illuminate the mechanism of taVNS at "yidan-pi" auricular acupoints on the regulation of glucose metabolism, its improvement of the IGT state in rat model, as well as its regulation effect on insulin receptor expression and insulin resistance, and systematically illustrate the clinical effective of this treatment on IGT, with emphasize on its influence on the concentrations of glucose and HbA1c, and thus provide an effective proposal for clinical acupuncture.
