Filter by:Modulation of the gut microbiota via administration of pro- and prebiotics have been proposed to contribute to weight loss and reduce plasma glucose and serum lipid levels, improving the inflammatory state and decreasing the incidence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study will test a fermented canola-seaweed (FCS) product, high in glucosinolates and putatively prebiotic oligosaccharides, in human subjects with obesity.
It is a multi-center, randomized, prospective clinical study in metabolic syndrome with obese and overweight of Han Chinese population. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of a programed intensive lifestyle intervention on weight loss (15%) and the remission of metabolic syndrome, and also its underlying mechanisms.
Our proposal represents an integrated approach to determining the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of strawberry consumption in adults who have high risk for cardiometabolic disease.
CARFARE (CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS REGISTRY) is a registry done in the context of a cardiovascular primary prevention program of the Cardiometabolic Unit Officia of the Cardiology Department of the Austral University Hospital. The structured and sequential evaluation include measurement of anthropometric parameters (body mass index, BMI), laboratory with metabolic profile, baseline electrocardiogram, blood pressure (BP) measurement, arterial stiffness, subclinical atherosclerosis screening in the carotid and ileo-femoral territories using echo-doppler, echocardiogram, and ergometry test.
The aim of study is to assess the angioprotective effects of antihypertensive combination therapy with perindopril 10 mg and moxonidine 0.4-0.6 mg in patients with arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, who had Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) > 10 m/s on the previously administered two-component combination antihypertensive therapy. Open-label non-comparative prospective study for 24 week for each patient.
The goal of this proposal is to determine the effect of a high protein diet in which the increase in protein intake is derived from different sources (animal vs plant and protein-rich whole foods vs protein isolates) on: i) liver and muscle insulin sensitivity; ii) the metabolic response to a meal, and iii) 24-h plasma concentration profiles of glucose, glucoregulatory hormones, and protein-derived metabolites purported to cause metabolic dysfunction.
Shift work is associated with a higher risk of the development of cardiometabolic syndrome (CMtS) than in people working only during the day. One of the factors predisposing to the development of the CMtS in shift workers is an inappropriate composition of their diet. It was observed that the shift workers diet is characterized by a higher intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and a lower consumption of unsaturated fatty acids. One potential way to reduce the risk of CMtS in this study group seems to be a modification of their everyday diet by excluding the products of animal origin (e.g. butter) with simultaneously including vegetable oils (i.e. canola oil). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of replacement in the everyday diet of saturated fats (butter) with unsaturated fats (canola oil-based spread and canola oil added to main meals) in centrally obese shift workers on changes in body weight and body composition parameters as well as on changes in CMtS markers.
Men diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetS) including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and infertility will be assessed for cardiovascular and diabetes risk. The eligible patient will be randomised to one-year life-style intervention program including nutritional, behavioural and exercise counselling or standard care by the general physician. The aim of the program is to reduce cardiovascular and diabetes risks and hypogonadism as well.
Berberine is a dietary supplement that comes from the roots, stems, and bark of various plants and has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. It may help lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and reduce inflammation.Very few studies have been done in the United States to show how berberine effects cholesterol and blood sugar. This study is looking to see how berberine changes cholesterol and blood sugar, and to see how well it is tolerated.Berberine is not a prescription medication but it appears to have similar actions to common prescription medications to lower cholesterol like statins, and to lower blood sugar like metformin. We are studying berberine to see if it may be a good option for people that do not want to take prescription medications.
The prevalence of US adults with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is over 34%, impacting nearly 35% of all adults and 50% of those aged 60 years or older. MetS is characterized as a combination of underlying risk factors that when, occurring together, increase the risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer, resulting in an 1.6-fold increase in mortality. According the American Heart Association, health risks associated with Metabolic Syndrome can be significantly reduced by reducing body weight and eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Potatoes (e.g. skin-on white potatoes) are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 and a good source of magnesium and dietary fiber. In addition, the potato has greater dry matter and protein per unit growing area compared with cereals. Despite this, consumers tend to believe that potatoes are high in calories and in fat compared with other carbohydrate sources such as rice or pasta, an incorrect assumption since a potato has negligible fat and a low energy density similar to legumes. Data from short-term nutrition intervention trials, suggest that potatoes consumed as part of a low-glycemic load meal can play a role in the prevention or treatment of MetS. However, the impact of long-term potato consumption on cardiometabolic risk factors associated with MetS is not known. Therefore, there is a critical need to determine if regular (> 4 times per week) potato consumption can improve cardiometabolic health in individuals with MetS.
