Filter by:The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet or of physical activity in participants who take at least 2 antihypertensive drugs but do not reach blood pressure treatment goal. This study is a randomized, controlled, single-center, parallel group trial with three arms: hypocaloric Mediterranean diet (MeDi), physical activity (PA), or control. The control group will receive usual care (no intervention). This study will not be blinded. The interventions will last 6 months, while the study follow-up will last 12 months. Four study visits will take place: baseline, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months. The primary outcome is change in mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure among groups after 6 months of intervention. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include change in other measures of blood pressure, body composition, other markers of cardiometabolic disease, inflammation markers, safety outcomes, and quality of life, among others.
some studies have shown similar effects of intermittent fasting and continuous caloric restriction on body weight and plasma lipid profile, but there is still a wide controversy. Therefore,due to limited human studies and the lack of a study on hypertriglyceridemic patients, the present study aimed to determine the effects of using low-calorie diets in comparison with continuous caloric restriction on weight loss and plasma lipid profile in obese or overweight hypertriglyceridemic patients.
A randomized, double blind sham controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS), together with a lifestyle modification program, compared to a sham control with a lifestyle modification programme, as a means of reducing excess body weight and body fat.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding obesity.
The primary objectives are to characterize changes in indices of systemic and gut inflammation, assess host- and microbial-derived metabolite pools, and describe and link functional metagenomics and metatranscriptomic alterations in the gut microbiome with metabolite and inflammatory outcomes after acute (24hr) and chronic (4 week) intake of anthocyanins and ellagitannins from strawberry and red raspberries compared to a control diet (negative control), FOS (positive control, non-polyphenol, carbohydrate-based fermentable fiber/pre-biotic), or combination diet (berry composite + FOS) in human participants with low-grade inflammation.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of FT-4101 as a single agent in overweight/obese subjects with NASH. The study may be conducted in up to 2 dosing cohorts.
Low- grade inflammation is a pathological feature of a wide range of chronic conditions, including the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the accelerated reduction in bone density. Previous research shows that diets rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce chronic inflammation. To date there is no data on multiyear clinical interventions assessing the effect of plant-based dietary supplements on low-grade inflammation, cardiovascular disease prevention and indicators of biological aging, including individuals' cognitive function. In this study, the investigators are thus exploring whether separate ingestions of two plant-based nutritional products over 2 years, are able to modulate low-grade inflammation, parameters of CVD prevention, circulating micronutrients, upper respiratory tract- and gastro-intestinal symptoms, quality of life, indicators of biological aging, and cognitive function in overweight seniors.
Diseases along the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease spectrum, which are tightly coupled to the obesity epidemic, are soon to become the commonest indication for liver transplantation in the United States. Bariatric surgery shows great promise in the treatment of these diseases. The studies proposed herein will be the first to measure in humans the relationships among (i) the liver's ability to burn fat and make glucose, two of its primary functions; (ii) the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; and (iii) the responses to bariatric surgery. These experiments will support deeper future mechanistic investigations of the metabolic mechanisms underlying nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) improvement with bariatric surgery. The premise of this study is that deranged hepatic mitochondrial metabolism is a key biomarker and mediator of the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/NASH continuum, and the central hypothesis the investigators will test is that preoperative hepatic fat oxidation and glucose production flux parameters differ between low versus high NAFLD activity score (NAS), and response of the liver to bariatric surgery can be predicted by preoperative fluxes.
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that providers screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer or refer them to a comprehensive behavioral intervention (≥26 hours over a period of up to 12 months) to promote improvement in weight status. Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment that targets both child and parents and meets the USPSTF recommendations. By contrast, the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a staged approach to childhood obesity screening and counseling, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies. Our study compares a staged approach enhanced standard of care (eSOC) vs. eSOC + FBT, to provide families and PCPs with information on the best intervention approach for the behavioral treatment of childhood obesity. Our project seeks to fill the gap in the evidence on family-based weight management in primary care settings among diverse and underserved populations with a special focus on Black children, families insured by Medicaid, and sex differences.
The study is investigating new medicines for weight control in people with high body weight. The study looks at how the study medicines work in the body. Participants will get semaglutide and either NNC0165-1562 or "dummy" medicine -which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get 2 injections per week for 5 months. A study nurse at the clinic will inject the medicine with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach. The study will last for about 7 months. Participants will have 27 visits to the clinic.
