Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if a single bout of AM vs PM resistance exercise has different effects on insulin sensitivity and sleep. A randomized cross-over trial be used to compare resistance exercise at two different times of the day. Each condition will take place in a laboratory setting. Each condition will consist of exercise, overnight sleep, and oral glucose tolerance tests the following day. The AM exercise will occur ~1.5 hours after habitual wake, and PM exercise will occur ~11 hours after habitual wake. After a 2-6 week washout, participants will complete the other condition. The hypothesis is that PM exercise will be more beneficial than AM exercise in improving insulin sensitivity. This study could identify if there is a better time of day to perform resistance exercise to decrease risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
This study aims to investigate the effects of Bifidobacterium breve BBr60 on key health indicators in overweight and obese adults. Specifically, it will assess the probiotic's impact on body composition metrics such as BMI, body fat percentage, WHR, and BMR. The inclusion criteria for participants are a BMI of ≥28 kg/m^2, targeting individuals who stand to benefit significantly from metabolic and body composition improvements.
The goal of this study is to identify an intervention that improves sleep health and consequently metabolic health by examining whether sleep extension or enforced regularity in short sleepers will have beneficial effects on diabetes and obesity risk.
The eMOTION Study is a two-part ORBIT model phase 1 trial. The first part, called the Formative Study, will assess acceptability and feasibility of a novel physical activity intervention in adults at increased risk for cancer due to overweight or obesity.
This study is a pilot clinical trial of a new guided self-help CBT for binge eating. Participants will complete an intake assessment; following determination of eligibility, participants will then complete four months of treatment (weekly guided self-help sessions). At the end of treatment, participants will complete an interview with a research clinician to assess outcomes.
The purpose of this research is to better understand how people's background, habits, and other factors influence their diets and health.
The present clinical investigation is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter international trial, planned to be conducted in Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The investigation will be performed to establish clinical evidence regarding the performance and safety of the IMD and is aiming at evaluating the suitability of the IMD for the intended purpose and population.
This Phase I, active-controlled, randomised trial will be conducted in 2 parts. Part I aims to confirm the PD equivalence of EMP22 and Xenical® based on percent fecal fat excretion at steady state. EMP22 (also referred to as MR orlistat) has the same MR properties as EMP16 but lacks the acarbose component. Part II will explore the PK properties of EMP16 alone and vs. Xenical®. Part I will be conducted in a single-blind, cross-over fashion while Part II will have an open-label, fixed-sequence design. Healthy volunteers will be recruited to the trial.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of retatrutide on renal function in participants with overweight or obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), with or without Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The study will lasts around 31 weeks.
Over 64 million people in the U.S. have a permanent disability, with mobility-related disability (MRD) representing the most prevalent disability type (13.7%). Adults with MRD are 66% more likely to be overweight or obese than their non-disabled peers. Exercise in adults with MRD is important for weight management and is associated with improvements in obesity-related health conditions including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin processing/sensitivity, etc. However, over half (57%) of adults with MRD do not exercise, while 22% engage in exercise of insufficient duration or intensity to obtain health benefits. Adults with MRD face numerous barriers to participation in community-based exercise, and exercise is frequently limited to short-term referrals for outpatient physical and/or occupational therapy. High-intensity functional training (HIFT) represents a potentially effective strategy for community-based exercise to support body weight and obesity-related health conditions, in addition to improving physical function and aspects of psychosocial health for people with disabilities. Preliminary evidence supports the effectiveness of HIFT to improve body composition, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, insulin processing and insulin sensitivity in non-disabled adults who are overweight/obese. To date, no study has systematically evaluated the feasibility or effectiveness of a community-based HIFT intervention for improving obesity-related health outcomes in overweight/obese adults with MRD. Thus, the proposed study will implement a 6-mo. pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a HIFT intervention (60 min sessions/3 days/wk.) in 25 adults with MRD and overweight/obesity. This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Evaluate the intervention feasibility based on participant recruitment, session attendance, retention, outcome assessment completion, and the results of semi-structured exit interviews to obtain information regarding experience and overall satisfaction with the intervention. Aim 2: Evaluate changes (baseline - 6 mos.) in weight and fat-mass/fat-free mass, and components of the metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose).
