Filter by:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide, and is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Physical activity and lifestyle interventions are among the most recommended treatments for individuals with MASLD. In this RCT, we will evaluate the effect of combined exercise training "strength and aerobic training" versus "strength and high intensity training (HIIT)". The main outcome parameter is the severity of liver steatosis. Patients will be recruited at the fatty liver clinic of the UZ Gent.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the triglyceride/glucose index (TyG index) and homeostasic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) to predict insulin resistance (IR) in obese adults
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin works in healthy adults versus those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study will use a drug called alpelisib, which interferes with insulin's actions in the body, to answer the study's main question: does the liver continue to respond to insulin's stimulation of fat production even when it loses the ability to stop making glucose (sugar) in response to insulin. Researchers will compare the impact of single doses of both alpelisib and placebo (inert non-drug) in random order (like flipping a coin) in study participants. Participants will be asked to stay twice overnight in the hospital, take single doses of alpelisib and placebo (one or the other on each of the two hospital stays), and receive intravenous (into the vein) infusions of non-radioactive "tracer" molecules that allow researchers to measure the production of glucose (sugar) and fats by the liver. Measurements will be done both overnight, while participants are asleep and fasting (not eating or drinking other than water) and while consuming a standardized diet of nutritional beverages during the following day. The objective is to evaluate the effect of lowering insulin levels, while maintaining constant mild hyperglycemia, on plasma glucose and lipid levels.
The study conducted a health survey among Thai adults in 2022 and found a significant increase in obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), leading to metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The prevalence of NAFLD was 19.7%, with higher rates in individuals with metabolic syndrome and diabetes. MASLD is associated with insulin resistance and genetic polymorphisms, particularly the patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3-rs738409 variant. Additionally, physical activity was inversely related to liver disease risk, with higher step counts associated with reduced incidence of NAFLD and liver-related mortality. The study aims to investigate the impact of dietary advice and pedometer use on physical activity levels and health outcomes in MASLD patients over 24 weeks.
The objective of the study is to determine the effect of dairy product matrices on insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with prediabetes. Females and males (30-65 y) will be recruited from the greater Montreal area. Upon screening, those with prediabetes will complete a 2-wk run-in period in which participants will consume 1 serving/d of regular-fat dairy products (milk, yogurt, or cheese). Adherent participants will be randomized by sex into 1 of 3 groups: ≤1 serving/d of dairy (limited dairy) or 2-3 servings/d of reduced-fat or regular-fat dairy for 12 weeks. Participants will be instructed on how to incorporate foods into their diet to prevent changes in their body weight. The hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp will be used before and after the intervention to document potential changes in insulin sensitivity as the primary outcome. In addition, glycemic variables, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors will be assessed as secondary outcomes. Adherence to intervention will be assessed at each visit by food diaries and a record of consumed dairy products.
This study investigates the potential of vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, to improve cardiometabolic health in obese Black individuals with insulin resistance by directly enhancing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) activity. Given that this population has been shown to have lower cGMP activity and the association of lower cGMP activity with increased cardiometabolic disease risk, the proposed study hypothesizes that augmenting cGMP activity in obese individuals will improve insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure. This study is a placebo-controlled randomized trial involving 200 Black obese participants with insulin resistance, assessing the effects of vericiguat on insulin sensitivity, resting, and exercise-induced energy expenditure over 12 weeks. Additionally, it will explore changes in brown adipose tissue and gene expression related to energy metabolism in white adipose tissue, aiming to provide insights into how increasing cGMP activity may improve cardiometabolic health in Black obese individuals.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intravenous infusion of 5% dextrose injection during the recovery period of anesthesia for painless gastroenteroscopy on the patient's blood glucose level, incidence of hypoglycemia and time of awakening from anesthesia, postoperative vertigo, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and quality of recovery in the early postoperative period.
Purpose: It was planned to determine the effect of oral whey given before total hip arthroplasty (THA) on postoperative insulin resistance, cortisol, CRP((C reactive protein), albumin level and healing quality. Design: It was planned as Randomized Controlled. Method: Research: The study is planned to include individuals aged 50-70, who are planned for THA in the orthopedics and traumatology clinic of a public hospital, who have undergone spinal anesthesia, who have BMI <40 and ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists)1,2,3. Individuals with endocrine or renal disorders or allergies to whey will be excluded from the study. It was planned to include at least 60 patients in the study (30 in the intervention group, 30 in the control group). It is planned to use the Patient Introduction Information Form, Physiological Measurements Chart (vital findings (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory SpO2 (pulse oximetry) value), blood glucose, cortisol, CRP and albumin value and insulin resistance) and postoperative recovery quality scale in data collection. The intervention group will be given 600 ml of oral whey 6 hours before the surgery, and the control group will be allowed to drink 600 ml of drinking water 6 hours before the surgery. 3ml of blood will be taken for blood glucose, CRP, cortisol, albumin and insulin resistance values 24 hours before the surgery, just before entering the surgery and 24 hours after the surgery. The first part of the healing quality scale is planned to be evaluated immediately before the surgery, and the second part 24 hours after the surgery. Conclusion: When the literature was scanned, it was seen that the number of studies examining the effect of oral whey on metabolic and endocrine values in orthopedic patients was very limited and academic studies were needed. In this context, examining the effect of whey intake given before THA on the patient's blood glucose, CRP, albumin, cortisol, insulin resistance and healing quality is an original research that will contribute to the field.
To determine the efficacy and safety of 2 different treatment modalities: 1) acupuncture plus lifestyle management (treatment group), 2) placebo plus lifestyle management (control group) in the treatment of insulin resistance in PCOS patients.
Standardized longitudinal data collection of diabetes management relevant factors in women with T1D (insulin requirements (insulin pump or smart pen data), glucose variability (CGM data), nutritional information, and menstrual cycle information (cycle tracking app, LH tests, and premenstrual symptoms)) to identify categories of cycle trajectories.
