Filter by:Aim: To study the effect of a combination of functional foods on gut microbiota in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Subjects that met the metabolic syndrome criteria were enrolled in a double-blind, parallel-arm, placebo-control study. The subjects were randomized to receive a dietary portfolio (DP) or placebo (P) treatment for 2 mo. The primary endpoint was to study the effect of a DP on gut microbiota. Secondary endpoints were biochemical and anthropometric parameters, LPS, insulin, leptin, area under the curve for glucose and insulin.
Wine grape pomace flour (WGPF) is a fruit byproduct high in fiber and antioxidants. The effect of WGPF consumption was tested on blood biochemical parameters including oxidative stress biomarkers. In a 3-month intervention study, 27 male volunteers, each with some components of metabolic syndrome, consumed a beef burger supplemented with 7% WGPF containing 3.5% of fiber and 1.2 mg GE/g of polyphenols (WGPF-burger), daily during the first month. The volunteers consumed no burgers in the second month, and one control burger daily in the third month. At baseline and after these periods, there were evaluated metabolic syndrome components, plasma antioxidant status [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH),uric acid, vitamin E, vitamin C], and oxidative damage markers [advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), malondialdehyde (MDA)].
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a physician-supervised non-surgical medical weight management program on prevalence of metabolic syndrome and to examine the relationship between program retention and levels of key indicators of metabolic syndrome among participants that self-enrolled to the program. A total of 479 overweight or obese participants aged 19 years or older were observed. The revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used to define metabolic syndrome.
The aim of this study is to explore possible predicting factors associated with physical activity (PA) level change in a 6-month period of physical activity on prescription (PAP) treatment. This is done in order to highlight potential predictors important for increased PA-level and to identify which primary care patients who may benefit from the PAP-intervention. Four hundred forty four patients are included in the study, 27-85 years, physically inactive, having at least one component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) present and receiving PAP-treatment. Possible predicting factors of PA change at baseline and PA-level at 6-month follow-up are analyzed.
The Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome Study is an observational study being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina to investigate cardiometabolic risk parameters in obese subjects ages 4 to 21. A detailed assessment is performed on eligible subjects including fasting labwork, anthropometrics, nutrition analysis, body composition testing, echocardiography, and carotid IMT measurements.
The objective of this study was to establish a formulation, containing both Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) and Lippia citriodora L. (LC) extracts (Metabolaid®) that had significant capacity to activate the AMPK-enzyme and to reduce triglyceride accumulation in the hypertrophied adipocyte model. Then, we assessed the efficacy of this combination in light-to-moderate-overweight subjects under risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
Obesity is associated with general low grade inflammation and, consequently, of oxidative stress that affects properties and functionality of lipoproteins. Metabolic syndrome exacerbate low grade inflammation. The intentional weight loss of at least 5% of the initial weight can modulate the pro-inflammatory state and reduce the oxidative stress related to the metabolic syndrome, thus diminishing the cardiovascular risk.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of peripheral and respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions, exercise capacity and quality of life in coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome. Prospectively, randomly, double-blind, and controlled study. Stable coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome will be included to the study from the Istanbul University Cardiology Institute clinic. Patients will be randomized into 3 groups; Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): 3 days per week for 6 weeks duration. Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Inspirator Muscle Training (IMT) and peripheral muscle training Group (n: 20): IMT will be applied 7 days per week, twice a day for 15 minutes. The program will continue for 6 weeks duration under weekly control of the investigator. Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks. Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): Exercise will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Parameters will be recorded before and after training. Evaluation parameters:Demographic and anthropometric measurements, respiratory function test,respiratory muscle strength,dyspnea, peripheral muscle strength, 6 minutes walking test, physical activity, quality of life, depression, sleep quality and laboratory evaluation.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Caduet in addition to therapeutic life-style change (TLC) intervention in resolving metabolic syndrome fifty three individuals were randomized to TLC intervention study with or without Caduet therapy for 12 months. The participants underwent monthly visits with investigators to obtain vital signs, and to undergo TLC counseling. Metabolic parameters were measured before and after intervention.
This project aims to ascertain that novel imaging and metabolic markers can be used to identify as well as to validate and improve the detection of Singapore-Chinese women at increased risk of diabetes.
