Filter by:This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, Phase 3 study is being conducted in adult participants with high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who are not adequately controlled by their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, to assess the impact of the obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC daily on coronary plaque and inflammation characteristics, evaluated using cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
The aim of the present clinical study is to estimate the efficacy of a Sideritis Scardica extract (SidTea+), derived from the Greek mountain Taygetos, in regulating antioxidant and health biomarkers in healthy adults.
This is a pilot acute dietary intervention study with a randomized cross-over design aiming to investigate whether acute supplementation of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) rich in oleocanthal could attenuate postprandial hyperglycemia and activation of platelets in T2DM patients. For this reason, non-insulin dependent diabetic patients (10-15) will be randomly assigned to consume in five different days white bread (50 g CHO) with butter, butter with ibuprofen, refined olive oil and olive oil with oleocanthal (250 mg/Kg 500 mg/Kg). Blood samples will be collected pre- and post-intervention up to 4 hours in order to determine platelet aggregation, postprnadial glycemia, lipemia, inflammation and oxidative stress. Taking into account the strong anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet properties of oleocanthal, this study will assess whether oleocanthal-rich olive oils could exert similar effects under real in vivo conditions in T2DM patients. It will also assess whether these effects are achieved through improvement of postprandial glycemia and lipemia.
The diabetes epidemic is a pertinent concern globally. The prevalence of this metabolic disease among adults had been disclosed by the World health Organisation (WHO), reporting a total of 422 million diabetic adults and 3.7 million diabetic deaths in 2016, with Asian countries contributing more than 60% of the world's diabetic population. Due to its economic and social repercussions, preventive strategies are implemented at a population level. The implementation of a diet low in glycaemic index (GI) has been widely adopted as part of diabetes management strategies to prevent and control Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as the consumption of food with low GI has shown to improve glycaemic control, lipid profile, and reduce systemic inflammation. Other strategies include adopting an active lifestyle and the consumption of functional foods. In lieu of this, the composition of food products may be altered by incorporating edible plant-based functional components with carbohydrase-inhibiting properties. Black rice has been proposed as a viable source of functional ingredients, namely anthocyanins, not only because of its potential benefits to health that has been established by numerous in-vitro studies, but also it is easily sourced for in Asia as it is widely cultivated. In this study, black rice anthocyanin-fortified bread serves as a replacement to white bread as the staple to the subject's diet, in a mixed meal setting. The fortified bread is hypothesised to improve glycemic responses over white bread, offering a lower GI food alternative to the conventional staple.

Obesity and related metabolic diseases have become a chronic disease that is a threat to human health. Bariatric surgery can effectively and long-term reduce excess body weight and relieve related metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are commonly used in bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to simple operation, good weight loss, and metabolic disease control effect, which is more widely used. However, there are several studies that show an increased chance of gastroesophageal reflux disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Long-term gastroesophageal reflux may lead to Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer. Nowadays, the cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy is not clear and precautionary measures are not precise. In this study, prospective randomized controlled trials were conducted to explore the possible change of lipidemia after bariatric surgery and to explore ways to prevent bariatric surgery after bariatric surgery.
Excessive meat consumption, particularly of red and processed meat, is associated with increased risk of developing a range of chronic diseases. Meat production also significantly contributes to the production of global greenhouse gasses (GHG). Given the predicted global increase in the human population, coupled with the rise in demand for meat within emerging economies, it has been suggested that strategies to alter dietary patterns and reduce meat intake should be devised. With the provision of appropriate non- or reduced-meat alternatives, this study aims to investigate whether free living subjects can significantly reduce their meat intake, and whether such dietary changes positively impact on a range of health measures
