Filter by:In this study, we aim to identify a well consumable butyrate/hexanoate-enriched oil that increases circulating SCFA concentrations and improves postprandial substrate metabolism, which could be further used for a long-term study.
Hormones that are produced by our stomach and intestines play a role in regulating our appetite and health, and are therefore of high interest for managing conditions such as obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Two important hormones, called GLP-1 and PYY, are released from the same intestinal cell. The food we eat influences the release of these hormone and evidence suggests that protein and calcium are key nutrients that stimulate the secretion of GLP-1, while the influence of this combination on PYY release is less clear. Furthermore, gastric emptying affects the rate of absorption of nutrients and by manipulating the structural form of protein, in the absence or presence of calcium, we may be able to learn more about the processes mediating the gut hormone response. We hypothesise that gut hormone secretion will be enhanced following the ingestion of a partially digested protein in the presence of calcium versus a control protein without calcium. Additionally, the ingestion of the partially digested protein will result in faster gastric emptying compared to the control protein.
Multi-center, open-label, single arm study to Evaluate the preference regarding convenience of medication, efficacy and safety of Sugamet XR tab. 5/1000mg in patients with Type 2 diabetes and renal diseases
Today's children are increasingly facing metabolic-related health issues, among which the worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity is rising at an alarming pace. Childhood obesity is associated with the early onset of chronic diseases including an emergence of prediabetes and diabetes mellitus type 2. The decline of insulin sensitivity already years before puberty, exposes children to long- term complications prior the appearance of clinical symptoms and time of diagnosis. The shortened life expectancy and large economic burden imposed underlines the need for the identification of metabotypes at risk at an early stage. One's genetics, microbial gut composition and every aspect of the environment in which children are raised have been implicated in diet-related obesity rendering metabolomics a very powerful tool towards precision medicine. Yet, the excellence of stool in reflecting the intertwining thereof is completely unexplored for pediatric purposes, whereas blood sampling causing pain and stress for child and parent only captures a narrow fraction of the metabolome. As such, rectal sampling using a customised medical swab for optimal gut metabolome coverage is envisioned. Ambient laser desorption ionisation will be hyphenated to high-resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics to provide a framework for elucidating predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers for ever-increasing pediatric metabolic diseases such as obesity and (pre)diabetes.
As of last year, new insight into the function of secretin was brought about as rodent studies showed secretin to possess potential body weight-regulating effects. In these studies, secretin was shown to increase non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), decrease meal size and promote meal discontinuation. The mechanisms behind these regulatory effect of secretin on energy homeostasis are unclear,
This study aims to validate and pilot test the short-term intervention effect of a newly developed healthy metabolic behaviour tool, named as the 6P tool, on dietary attitude/ practice and body weight changes over one month among overweight and obese women. A total of 50 women, aged 21-40 years, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, who are attending the preconception clinic and planning for a pregnancy over the next one year, will be invited to participate in this pilot study. The recruitment period is estimated to take up to 10 weeks, with subsequent 1 month follow-up visit.
This study aimed to translate the Affordance in the Home Environment for Motor Development -Toddler (AHEMD-T) into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties.
Environment which children live and grown is very important for the all development stages. In Turkey there is no measurement for home environment evaluation so our aim is to investigate the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish version of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) in a sample of Turkısh children.
Investigators will test the health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast or isocaloric breakfast and performing regular physical exercise training for 12 weeks in young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces and urine metabolites, and food diary will be collected.
The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) in December 2019 has led to an unprecedented international health situation. Exceptional measures have been taken by public authorities worldwide in order to slow the spread of the virus and prevent healthcare systems from becoming overloaded. In France, a national lockdown has been established during approximately 2 months to increase social distancing and restrict population movements. Hospital routine care appointments have been cancelled, in order to reallocate medical resources towards COVID-19 units and limit contacts between patients within hospitals or waiting rooms. While the virus itself, the disease and potential treatments are currently extensively studied, little data are available on the effect of these public health decisions on the management of a chronic condition such as diabetes. The French regional CONFI-DIAB study aims at assessing the collateral impact of routine care cancellation during the national lockdown due to COVID-19 in patients with a chronic condition such as diabetes. Special attention will be given to metabolic control and access to health care. This cross-sectional study should provide information on the consequences of a global lockdown and the associated routine care cancellation on the management of diabetes, and inform future decision making in the event of a new pandemic.
