Filter by:The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of breaking up prolonged sitting on postprandial metabolic responses, gut hormones secretion and energy balance in sedentary overweight and obese adults.
Prospective, international multicenter study to investigate the physical and psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in two obese patient cohorts (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²) pre- and post-bariatric surgery. In addition, the investigation of country-specific differences will be performed.
African Americans (AAs) have rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) twice that of Whites and are disproportionately affected by leading risk factors for DM - obesity and low-income. A critical strategy in the battle against DM is the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based intervention that significantly delays or prevents Type 2 diabetes through the promotion of diet change, exercise and modest weight loss. However, weight loss from the DPP among AAs is about half that of White participants, and suboptimal AA attendance is a critical contributor. The investigators propose to conduct a study that will address social determinants (SD) that challenge DPP attendance with underserved African Americans from a safety net hospital. The investigators will examine DPP attendance and weight loss with participants randomized to 3 groups: standard DPP, a culturally-tailored DPP to address acceptability, and a culturally-tailored DPP enhanced to address socioeconomic-related barriers to DPP participation. This novel study is the first to tailor the DPP to address SD cultural and socioeconomic barriers that limit DPP attendance and reduce its effectiveness on outcomes. The proposed multidimensional, SD tailored DPP has great potential to be a feasible and scalable model to reduce DM risks among urban, African Americans and ultimately reduce DM disparities.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of technology-based motivation education prepared according to the health belief model on obesity-related beliefs and attitudes, nutrition-exercise behaviors, self-efficacy and weight management in obese university students.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel phase II study to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics characteristics and immunogenicity of two dose levels of TG103 injection, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in the management of overweight or obesity, to support dose selection for further development.
This study is open to adults who have different levels of liver problems and adults who are healthy. People with or without overweight or obesity can take part. This study has 2 parts. The purpose of Part 1 is to find out whether having liver problems influences how BI 456906 is taken up in the body. The purpose of Part 2 is to find out whether having liver problems influences how people with overweight and obesity tolerate different doses of BI 456906. In Part 1, participants get a single injection of BI 456906 under their skin and stay at the study site for 2 nights afterwards. They are in the study for about a month. During this time, they visit the study site about 8 more times. The doctors compare the amount of BI 456906 in the blood of healthy people and people with liver problems. In Part 2, participants get 1 or 2 injections of BI 456906 once a week under their skin for 28 weeks. At the beginning, they get lower doses of BI 456906. Over time, they get higher doses until they reach a certain dose of BI 456906. This dose is then maintained until the end of the treatment. Participants in Part 2 are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 16 times and get about 15 phone calls from the site staff. The doctors record the number of people with health problems that could have been caused by treatment with BI 456906. They compare the results between participants with liver problems and those without liver problems. In both parts, doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3841136 in healthy and overweight participants. Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3841136 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. This is a 2-part study and may last up to 14 and 28 weeks for each participant and may include 7 and 19 visits in parts A and B, respectively.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALT-801 once-weekly versus placebo as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in patients with obesity/overweight.
This extension study will assess the safety and effects of 24 weeks of treatment with ALT-801 in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects with overweight and obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of steviol glycoside alone or in combination with a glycemic carbohydrate on blood glucose and endocrine and gut hormone secretion vs. water and glucose in individuals with normal weight, overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
