Filter by:The purpose of the study was to understand the effect of PF-07081532 on the movement of Dabigatran and Rosuvastatin into, though, and out of the body in healthy overweight or obese adult participants. This study also aims to collect data on safety and how tolerable the study medicine is. The study is seeking for participants who are: - Male or female who are 18 years of age or older. - Healthy but are overweight or obese. Participants will receive dabigatran and rosuvastatin as single doses by mouth 3 times during the study. The amount of the study medicine PF-07081532 will be adjusted over time until any interactions are seen. PF-07081532 is taken daily by mouth in 8 Study Periods while admitted into the study clinic over 53 days. Once discharged from the study clinic, participants will have a follow-up visit 7 to 10 days post last dose of study medicine. Then another follow-up via telephone contact, 28 to 35 days post last dose of study medicine.
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.
Introduction. Obesity is the main risk factor for the development of chronic degenerative diseases in Mexico and other countries around the world. Due to the difficulty of treating obesity, it is necessary to change the curative paradigm for a preventive one. A review showed that holiday periods during the year are critical points for weight gain. The holiday season is the festive period with the greatest impact on adults' body weight. Observational studies have shown that more than 50% of the annual weight is gained during this period. However, few preventive interventions in the festive period have been carried out globally. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be negatively affecting diet, physical activity and body weight. So preventive interventions are needed, especially those that can be implemented in an online format. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of two online interventions -Watch your Weight during the Holidays Program and the Relative 5:2 Fasting - on the prevention of body weight gain from baseline to 8 weeks in comparison with a control group in Mexican adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: This is a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). The primary outcome is the change in body weight from baseline to 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes are the percentage of retention / desertion of the participants, adherence to interventions, participant satisfaction scale, changes in other obesity parameters, biochemical, physical, and quality of life variables from baseline to 8 weeks. Obesity and quality of life parameters from baseline to 52 weeks are also secondary outcomes. The statistical analysis of the primary and secondary variables will be conducted, according to their distribution, by intention to treat and, secondarily, by completer´s analysis.

Plant stanols are known to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). However, studies have suggested that these compounds also beneficially influence the immune system, e.g. increasing vaccine-specific antibody titers. BMI has previously been negatively associated to vaccination responses. If plant stanols indeed have beneficial effect on the immune system, people with overweight or obesity might benefit from consuming plant stanols prior to receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate clinical benefits of consumption of plant stanols (delivered via products enriched with plant stanol esters) on the vaccination response to a COVID-19 vaccine in overweight or obese patients. The main study endpoint is vaccination response to a COVID-19 vaccine. Secondary endpoints include amongst others hematological, inflammatory and immunological parameters (e.g. hs-CRP, leukocyte differential count) and metabolic markers (e.g. blood lipid profiles, plasma glucose, serum insulin, HOMA-IR).
Our objective in this study is to identify the extent to which insulin drives the accumulation of lipids in skeletal muscle of humans. We will test the hypothesis that 4-hours of mild hyperinsulinemia will result in significant muscle lipid accumulation and that such effects will be similar in lean and overweight/obese humans.
To assess, relative to a placebo, the effects of consuming 400 mL/day or 200 mL/day of a vinegar beverage providing either 1,500 mg/day of acetic acid (in two 200 mL doses daily) or 750 mg/day of acetic acid (in one 200 mL dose daily), respectively, for 12 weeks on VAT (MRI). Thus the 2 active comparator arms 400 mL and 200 mL of vinegar will be independently tested compared to placebo.
The overall aim of this research is to assess the feasibility of a 12-week combined aerobic exercise (AEx) and resistance exercise (REx) intervention and elucidate the impact of AEx/REx on several physiological and behavioral components of energy balance among breast cancer survivors (BCS).
Investigators will test the long-term health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast and/or performing regular physical training for 12 weeks in 100 previous 'breakfast skipping' young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces (microbiota activity and composition), satiety and daily energy intake will be collected.
