This prospective randomized trial evaluates the role of customized dietary and physical activity intervention on the progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in patients with obesity and presenting at least three of the main Metabolic Syndrome traits. The project proposes a personalized nutritional intervention based on a Mediterranean customized diet which introduces plenty of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactive components, coupled with physical activity promotion to prevent and reverse NAFLD among obese patients with metabolic syndrome. This will be compared with two more dietary strategies including a Mediterranean Diet intervention with seven meals a day and the conventional dietary approach proposed by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD).
The main purpose of the clinical trial is to determine the health impact of a dietary intervention known as time-restricted eating (TRE) in patients with metabolic syndrome (defined as the presence of elevated fasting plasma glucose and two or more of the following criteria: increased waist circumference, elevated fasting plasma triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, elevated blood pressure) and self-reported dietary intake of ≥14 hours per day. Participants will reduce the amount of time they eat to 10 hours per day over a 12-week monitored intervention followed by a 12-week self-directed intervention and will log their dietary intake using a smartphone application (myCircadianClock (mCC) app). Glucose homeostasis (blood glucose levels will be monitored continuously for 2 weeks at the baseline, at the end of the monitored intervention, and at the end of the self-directed intervention using a continuous glucose monitor), and other metabolic, neuroendocrine, inflammatory and oxidative stress/antioxidant defense biomarkers, body weight and composition, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep and activity (using mCC app), personal sense of wellness and dietary timing (using health questionnaires) will be evaluated at the baseline, at the end of the monitored intervention, and at the end of the self-directed intervention.
This is a prospective observational cohort study of patients with prostate cancer who have a metabolic syndrome. The study aims to evaluate the role of intermittent fasting (fasting mimicking diet) in these patients. The primary end point is metabolic health and the secondary endpoint is quality of life.
We propose to conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to assess the association of low-calorie sweetened beverages (LCSBs) on cardiometabolic outcomes in prospective cohort studies. We will be using methodological approaches (change in LCSBs intake, and/or substitution analysis) that attempt to overcome the issue of reverse causality associated with studies of LCSBs and cardiometabolic disease. Ten cardiometabolic outcomes will be assessed: 1. Global adiposity - body weight 2. Global adiposity - BMI 3. Global adiposity - body fat 4. Abdominal adiposity - waist circumference 5. Overweight/obesity incidence 6. Metabolic syndrome incidence 7. Type 2 diabetes incidence 8. Cardiovascular disease incidence 9. Cardiovascular disease mortality 10. Total mortality
The purpose of this study is to understand how daily rhythms of behavior affect the expression of genes in fat cells, and how these daily cycles affect the way fat cells respond to insulin (a hormone that controls blood sugar levels) before and after bariatric surgery.
A multicenter, open-label, single-arm, extension study with regard to the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin in patients with refractory diabetes mellitus with insulin resistance.
The Nordic Diet is a dietary pattern rich in traditional Nordic foods, including berries, grains, and fatty fish common in northern Europe. Studies have shown a protective effect of the Nordic Diet on cardiometabolic risk factors, however only select clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes (i.e. Diabetes Canada) recommend this dietary pattern. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials to investigate the association between the Nordic Diet, cardiometabolic outcomes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of TRE in patients with metabolic syndrome (with three or more of the following criteria: increased waist circumference, abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure, or elevated blood sugar), who habitually eat for more than 14 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group of behavioral nutrition counseling (standard of care) or the intervention group of behavioral nutrition counseling with the addition of adopting a 8-10 hour eating window for 12 weeks (TRE).
Fruits and vegetables are beneficial for patients with metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by the coexistence of various risk factors (obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, insulin resistance) that predispose to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Diets such as the Mediterranean diet, rich in flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds can exert a high anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiproliferative action. Several studies have shown that grape polyphenols exert a crucial protective action against the onset of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and cancer diseases. On the other hand, little information is available on the health effects deriving from the consumption of table grapes on cell membranes lipidomic profile. On this basis, the aim of this study is the evaluation of possible changes in lipidomic profile and plasma antioxidant activity induced by a diet enriched with table grape polyphenols.
