Filter by:This study will look at the effect of exenatide, a drug which has been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, on body weight, appetite and energy expenditure among moderately obese women without diabetes. The study is 35 weeks long and includes 19 outpatient visits. Participants will receive exenatide for 16 weeks and placebo for 16 weeks with a 3 week rest period in between. Neither participants nor investigators will know whether exenatide or placebo is being administered. Participants will be started randomly on either exenatide or placebo. Our hypothesis is that treatment with exenatide will curb appetite and lead to weight loss and may lead to changes in energy expenditure.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether treatment of children and adolescents with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) with rosiglitazone will lead to improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
Inhibition of RAS delays onset of diabetes in clinical studies. Preliminary evidence suggests that telmisartan may have unique metabolic properties compared to other ARB due to activation of PPARĪ³. This should be tested in comparison with an ARB that is metabolically neutral in already published studies. H0: Telmisartan is not different from Losartan with respect to metabolic and vascular effects. H1: Telmisartan is different from Losartan with respect to metabolic and vascular effects.
A study of 12 weeks' treatment with losartan or placebo, to test the hypothesis that RAS inhibition will improve insulin' vascular actions and therefore improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle.
To evaluate the effect of a 3-year diet- and exercise lifestyle intervention, based on general public health recommendations, on glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors in Dutch subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the insulin sensitizing effects of rosiglitazone were accompanied by changes in 11ß-HSD1 expression and activity in different tissues. Furthermore the metabolic and hormonal effects of PPAR gamma stimulation by rosiglitazone will be analysed in several tissues.
The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of growth hormone and an insulin sensitizer drug in pre-diabetic adults with excessive amounts of abdominal fat. Participants received a combination of two drugs: (1) recombinant human growth hormone (or its placebo) and (2) pioglitazone (or its placebo). We measured the abdominal fat content and blood sugar levels of participants before and after 40 weeks of treatment.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE IF 24 WEEKS OF TREATMENT WITH VALSARTAN (80 MG - 320 MG) IMPROVES INSULIN SENSITIVITY IN SUBJECTS WITH HIGHER THAN NORMAL GLUCOSE LEVELS USING A TEST CALLED THE EUGLYCEMIC CLAMP.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether pioglitazone versus placebo can reduce the conversion rate of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to type 2 diabetes mellitus
The specific aims for the study will be to determine if aerobic exercise enhances cognition for older adults who are at risk for developing type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to evaluate whether change in insulin sensitivity predicts cognitive performance for subjects randomized to the aerobic exercise group. Sedentary older adults diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance using an oral glucose tolerance test will participate in a 6-month supervised protocol of either aerobic exercise or stretching. Cognitive testing and blood collection will occur at baseline, and months 3 and 6. Before and after the 6-month intervention, insulin sensitivity, maximum aerobic capacity, and body fat composition and distribution (via CT scan) will be assessed for all subjects. The results of this study may provide support for a relatively simple and inexpensive treatment strategy that specifically targets many of the health factors that directly influence risk of cognitive decline associated with T2DM for older adults.
