Filter by:The study aims to determine if genotype-based nutrition and lifestyle advice is effective for the management of overweight and obesity among Filipino adults compared to the usual standard of care.
The purpose of this research study is to evaulate the effectiveness of Low Level Laser Therapy in combination with Lifestyle Modifications in helping people reduce the extra weight and size in the central body region
Our preliminary reports have found in silico and in vitro that the milk thistle derivative Silibinin(A) is able to inhibit pancreatic lipase, in a similar way that the classical anti-obesity drug orlistat. Therefore, the investigators want to carry out the present trial in order to confirm that Silibinin(A) is able to in vivo inhibit pancreatic lipase, which will reduce the fat absorption and therefore will decrease the amount of energy from food intake. Considering that milk thistle has been extensively studied in humans as liver-protector, the investigators consider that the use of human subjects will be of great interest to accelerate the employment of this compound to improve the effectiveness of dietary treatment in overweight/obese subjects.
The research study is an intervention and feasibility crossover design pilot study designed to assess if consuming 3 study foods made with either soybean oil or palm oil per day for 4 weeks can alter whole blood, plasma and erythrocyte fatty acids and body weight in overweight/obese adults. Additionally, the study will assess the adherence to consuming 3 study foods per day for 4 weeks and to assess if participant remain unaware of (or masked to) which study food group (soybean oil vs palm oil) they are consuming.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 6-weeks of increased dairy consumption can reduce inflammation and other markers of chronic disease while fasted or following a high-fat meal.
This is a single-arm longitudinal group to examine patient-reported outcomes, body mass and mammographic density changes pre- and post- weight loss intervention of breast cancer survivors using video conferencing telehealth visits.
To understand the role of vitamin D supplementation on pregnancy outcomes and metabolic status in overweight and obese pregnant women.
The overall goal is to determine the real-world feasibility and utility of body fat imaging using rapid MRI to enhance risk perception, induce behavioral change, and improve clinical outcomes in overweight and obese individuals. Here, the investigators will perform a pragmatic clinical effectiveness pilot trial using a 2x2 factorial design to test the hypothesis that provision of a detailed individualized visual report of body fat distribution directly to patients will translate into changes in patient risk perception, behavior, and improved clinical outcomes.
This study design will test biological and behavioral mechanisms in the cross-sectional analyses and determine the prospective effects of circadian alignment and sleep on changes in cardiometabolic risk factors.
Oats are a commonly consumed source of viscous soluble fibre, which has an established role in cardiovascular disease risk management including in cholesterol and glycemic control. Oat beta-glucan is recognized for its cholesterol-lowering effects with approved health claims in Canada, US and Europe. However, the efficacy of oat beta-glucan on glycemic control is not clear. We propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the efficacy of whole grain oats and oat beta-glucan on markers of glycemic control in people with, without or at risk for diabetes.
