Filter by:There is an enormous increase in diabetes mellitus worldwide, especially in developed countries. Ninety percent of diabetes cases worldwide are of Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a result of greater prevalence of sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and rise of obesity, as well as an increasing number of elderly populations. T2DM can be attributed to relative deficiency of insulin involving insulin resistance, aberrant synthesis of hepatic glucose and progressive deterioration of pancreatic beta-cell functions resulting in chronic hyperglycaemia. A growing amount of evidence has emerged in the last several years linking various nutrients and food sources with a positive management of T2DM. In in vitro studies, various botanical extracts have been found to significantly inhibit the activity of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase. The inhibition of these enzymes' activity is a rational approach in managing glucose level for borderline and T2DM sufferers as inhibition of both alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase activity can profoundly reduce post-prandial increase in blood plasma glucose concentration following a mixed carbohydrate intake. Excessive levels of blood plasma glucose and free fatty acids impose a stressful condition for pancreatic beta-cells and other insulin sensitive cells resulting in the local secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines causing a continuous low levels of abnormal inflammation that alter insulin's action. As the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, the resulting insulin resistance leads to further inflammation, with more inflammation causing more insulin resistance, causing blood plasma sugar levels to continuously increase, eventually resulting in T2DM. In in vitro animal models, various compounds of botanical origin have also been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities which can be beneficial in managing T2DM.
The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a set of anthropometric alterations and chronic-degenerative diseases, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Each one of the diseases and physiological alterations represents a risk factor that conditions in the medium or long term another incapacitating or limiting disease that reduces the quality of life of an individual. Our country has a growing burden of morbidity and mortality due to diseases chronic-degenerative caused, for the most part, to the unhealthy lifestyle produced by multiple factors, such as social, economic, behavioral, environmental, among others. For this reason, it is important to plan, design and implement strategies that reduce, mitigate or control this public health problem in the population. The purpose of this study is to perform a nutritional intervention that includes food such as quinoa, flaxseed or both in subjects with metabolic syndrome and follow them up for six months. The impact of this intervention will be carried out through the measurement of cytotoxicity and glycemic control, this is with the micronucleus count and the estimation of glycosylated hemoglobin (Hba1c). This document will explain in detail what is intended to be done by presenting the following sections: In the approach of the problem and the justification, the metabolic syndrome will be described, its impact on the Mexican population, the interest and relevance of this research project. In the background will be detailed what has been said and done in the different studies scientists regarding the consumption of quinoa and flaxseed. Methodology defines the strategy, conditions, clinical criteria, material and epidemiological and statistical methods for the management of subjects and information.
The effect of N-acetylcysteine supplementation on carbohydrate metabolism disorder and homocysteine concentrations in obese women will be analysed.
Several Drugs used in routine care in oncology induce rare but often severe or fatal cardiovascular or metabolic side effects. This study will investigate, evaluate, report and treat the cardiovascular side effects of anticancer drugs, through a specific cardiovascular routine checkup and follow-up taking place in several Cardio-oncology programs throughout France. The different including centers will be: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP.6: Pitié-Salpétrière, Saint Antoine and Tenon's hospitals, Paris, France).
The study is aimed - To quantify the change of adipose tissues, triglyceride in liver and pancreas and cholesterol after lifestyle intervention or bariatric surgery. - To test the hypothesis that Brown fat is an independent biomarker for the development of Non Alcoholic Fat Liver Disease (NAFLD) - To study the association among Brown fat, NAFLD and obesity.
This study will investigate the effect of high-carbohydrate vs. high-fat overfeeding (130% of energy requirements) on whole body insulin sensitivity. Following habitual diet, participants will be randomly allocated to either a high-carbohydrate or a high-fat diet intervention for 14-days. On days 0, 7 and 14 participants will undergo anthropometric and metabolic testing (primarily an oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT]).
Tongji-Ezhou study (TJEZ) is a prospective cohort study launched at 2013 in EZhou city, Hubei province, with the goal of recruiting and assessing 10,000 individuals and then following them for at least 2 decades. In addition, blood samples would be collected every 3-5 years among 6000 of them to investigate the nutritional biomarkers and potential determinants of chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.
This study examine oral bisphenol A consumption on muscle insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose suppression. Half of the participants will receive a diet plus BPA and the other half will receive a diet plus no bisphenol A.
Increasing evidences suggest that infections are important etiological factors for the development of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The overall hypothesis of the study is that the treatment of children, during the first year after diagnosis of T1D with Azithromycin, combined with repeated episodes of intensified insulin treatment to induce maximal beta-cell rest, and dietician support to promote dietary habits that minimize the likelihood of bacterial reflux from the duodenum to the pancreatic duct, will lead to preservation of beta cell function. This trial will examine whether the AIDIT protocol initiated within one week from diagnosis could preserve insulin production in children with Type 1 Diabetes.
The circadian regulation in mammals have been known for a long time. A special group of clock genes, organized in feedback loops, are responsible for the circadian regulation in both the SCN and peripheral organs. The central clock is mainly entrained by the light-dark cycle, while the peripheral ones in organs such as liver and intestine, are more influenced by the feeding-fasting cycles. The coordination of central and peripheral clocks is thought to be essential in the maintenance of physiological homeostasis.This study aim to investigate the association between biological rhythm and metabolism.
