Filter by:The overall purpose of this study is to identify how empagliflozin (a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes) impacts skeletal muscle metabolic health among adults with prediabetes. Our aims are to: 1) Test the ability of empagliflozin to improve regulation of glucose metabolism (i.e., blood sugar) among overweight and obese individuals at risk for diabetes, and 2) Identify mechanisms to explain how empagliflozin may improve skeletal muscle glucose metabolism. We hypothesize empagliflozin will improve regulation of glucose metabolism due to changes in whole-body and skeletal muscle metabolism (e.g., increased rates of whole-body fat oxidation, evidence of impaired skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory function and increased energetic stress, lower accumulation of skeletal muscle lipids and improved skeletal muscle insulin signaling compared with placebo treatment).
The primary aim of the present study is to record changes in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children/adolescents participating in the multi-professional group programme 'kinderleicht' in 2022 over the course of the eleven-month active phase. In addition, these data will be examined for correlation with changes in BMI, waist and hip circumference, and motor performance. Secondarily, the study addresses the questions of whether the recording of HROoL by means of the KINDL questionnaire is practicable for the programme leaders and what benefit can be gained from the analysed data for future cohorts.
This study will examine the feasibility of an all-remote approach to enrollment in and implementation of an 8-week weight loss program for adults with low vision. The weight loss program will provide asynchronous support (information, automated texting feedback, tailored emails) for adopting and maintaining lifestyle-based strategies for safe and effective weight loss.
The study aims to randomize 250 participants to 1 of 2 arms: a.) an Active Intervention Group (based on the Look AHEAD* ILI) or b.) a Comparison Group (based on the Look AHEAD DSE Comparison group) to test the hypothesis that a multicomponent, multilevel behavioral weight loss intervention (Active Intervention Group) adapted for underserved groups and delivered through Health Information Technology (Health IT) tools via the Electronic Health Record (EHR) patient portal, will result in significantly greater weight loss 12 months after enrollment compared to the Comparison Group. *The Look AHEAD study was a multi-center, randomized clinical trial involving overweight and obese persons with type 2 diabetes, aimed to determine the effects on the cardiovascular outcomes of an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss, in comparison to the diabetes support and education intervention (DSE).
The current project applies an integrative three-prong approach to investigate the potential of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) agonist bromocriptine to: 1) increase homeostatic satiation signaling, 2) alter neural circuitry to reduce hedonically motivated food intake, and 3) examines a genetic predisposition that may markedly impact the effectiveness of this medication in those at high risk for T2DM.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are a safe, effective, and acceptable way to evaluate type 2 diabetes risk in youth as compared to the standard 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). This study will involve wearing a CGM, wearing a physical activity tracker, responding to surveys, and completing at-home glucose and mixed food challenge while wearing the CGM. Subjects will also be asked to complete an interview by phone or videoconference after wearing the CGM.
Milk proteins possess multiple biological activities including their effect on blood glucose control, satiety and energy intake. The design of functional food products with added milk protein fractions has many challenges related to their inferior sensory properties. Chocolate milk presents the universal vehicle for added milk protein fractions that might partially mask their sensory characteristics. However, commercially produced chocolate milk has a significant amount of added sugar. This project will investigate the properties of a value-added dairy product (chocolate milk with reduced sugar content) enriched with individual milk protein fractions on characteristics of blood glucose control, satiety and energy intake in young healthy adults.
This study involves young adults from the PRALIMAP-INES trial and student volunteers from the University of Lorraine, who are overweight or obese. For young adults from the PRALIMAP-INES trial, the proposed research is a continuation of the PRALIMAP-CINeCO research (part 1). For students at the University of Lorraine, the proposed research is aimed at volunteer students who are overweight or obese, via the University of Lorraine's Student Health Service (SSE). Young adults and overweight or obese students not receiving medical care at the time of the inclusion visit (4th measurement time for PRALIMAP-INES participants and 1st time for others) will be offered the chance to take part in a randomized trial comparing the acceptability of health e-coaching versus referral to standard care. Experimental group: health e-coaching Control group: usual care system Primary objective : To determine the effectiveness of an e-health coaching intervention using new technologies that promotes changes in eating and physical activity behavior in overweight and obese young adults aged 20, an intervention targeting the development of autonomous self-regulation. Secondary objectives : 1. Determine the acceptability of health e-coaching: acceptability of new technologies (container), acceptability of personalized health e-coaching (content). 2. Determine the effectiveness of health e-coaching on the criteria of corpulence (BMI; body composition), changes in eating behaviors (TCA), emotion management skills and social interaction skills. 3. Evaluate the benefit of health e-coaching alone or combined with the previous intervention received in the PRALIMAP-INÈS trial on primary and secondary endpoints. 4. Evaluate and compare participation in a health promotion program over two life periods (adolescence and young adulthood) for young adults from the PRALIMAP-INÈS trial. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of health e-coaching (reinforcement of autonomous self-regulation and changes in eating behaviors and physical activity practices/time spent sitting) according to the dose of intervention received by young adults (received-treatment analysis). 6. Determine the cost-efficiency and cost-utility ratios by means of a medico-economic evaluation based on the incremental cost of the e-coaching intervention in relation to the usual care offered by the health care system (ICER: Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of DTXO App in improving weight loss and weight-loss maintenance in obese patients exposed to an experimental non-pharmacological treatment program. The App will include a dietary plan and customized advice program, a customized physical exercise program plan, a cognitive- behavioral assessment and support program, alerts and reminders on prescribed drugs intake and on dietary and exercise program, chat and online visits with clinical professionals, and trophies to improve patient engagement.
The research focuses on a follow-up measure of participants in the PRALIMAP-INÈS cohort (NCT01688453 - Legrand et al. 2017). PRALIMAP-INÈS was conducted between 2012 and 2015 with the objective of showing that adapted overweight support for less advantaged adolescents has an effect equivalent to standard support for advantaged adolescents in the short term. This trial included 3 measurement times: T0 (before intervention), T1 (after intervention, at the end of the school year), T2 (after intervention) and of the school year), T2 (one year later). The proposed research is a continuation of PRALIMAP-INÈS with the addition of a 4th measurement time (T3) to study the trajectories of the intervention. (T3) to study the long-term social, economic, educational and health trajectories (in particular weight) of weight) of adolescents who have become young adults.
