The purpose of this study is to determine how different behavioral interventions designed to alter food perceptions and behaviors affect brain responses to food, eating behaviors, and body weight.
The main objective of the trial is to measure the efficacy of a nutritive bar, in the reduction of weight, body fat and the control of appetite, in patients with overweight and obesity. It will be a randomized single-blind design conducted in 40 subjects.
The purpose of this voluntary research study is to determine if calibrated formula feeding recommendations can promote optimal growth for the first 6 months after birth for mothers with a pre-pregnancy body mass index of 25 or more.
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.
Dietary supplementation with methyl donors has been demonstrated to increase DNA methylation in leucocytes whereas a limited dietary intake of methyl donors was associated with DNA hypomethylation. Considering SLE disease, previously study showed that high doses of vitamin B6 and folate were associated with less severe SLE. Furthermore, some evidences reported a relatively high incidence of decreased serum B12 levels in rheumatic patients. This led to the suggestion that diets rich in methyl group donors could have beneficial effects on SLE.
The research study will investigate the safety and tolerability of ZP8396 in healthy study participants. In addition, the study will investigate how ZP8396 works in the body (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics). Participants will receive 1 single dose either as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous, s.c.) or an injection into a vein of one arm (intravenous, i.v.). Participants will have 9 visits with the study team. One of these visits consists of 8 overnight stays at the study site. For each participant, the study will last up to 66 days.
The study will be conducted as a 26-week double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial of Appethyl® vs placebo in 100 overweight/obese (BMI ≥25.0-35.9 kg/m^2) men and women between 18-65 years with prediabetes (fasting plasma glucose of 5.6 mmol/L to <7.0 mmol/L). At initiation, all subjects will receive healthy life style instructions in accordance to the guidelines described in the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. The study aim to investigate the effect over time (26-weeks) of daily Appethyl® treatment compared to placebo on change in fasting glucose (primary endpoint) and several other health markers (secondary endpoint). The hypothesis to be tested is whether the null hypothesis (no difference between Appethyl® and placebo with regard to endpoint data) can be rejected.
The purpose of this project is two-fold: (1) to assess if two different resistance training protocols elicit different responses in the acute phase and (2) to assess if the same two different protocols will elicit different long-term responses on muscular strength, body composition and cardiometabolic health. The project will include 30 adults with obesity (defined as BMI ≥ 30 or abdominal obesity according to the International Diabetes Federation). In the acute phase blood lactate, heart rate, enjoyment and perceived exertion will be assessed after the two resistance training protocols. In addition, the mean 24-h blood glucose concentration after exercise will be compared between the two protocols. For the long-term effects blood markers of cardiometabolic health, blood pressure, body composition, objectively measured physical activity and physical fitness will be assessed before and after the intervention. Also, perceived health-related quality of life will be assessed before and after the intervention.
The study will examine if a standard group-delivered cognitive behavioral lifestyle intervention for weight loss can be improved via the incorporation of a novel body image intervention designed to address body image and improve weight loss outcomes in a sample of women with overweight/obesity.
