Filter by:The aim of this 2-phase, randomized clinical trial will be to examine the effects of two behavioral weight loss interventions on weight loss. This study will be conducted in 200 overweight or obese prediabetic individuals recruited from community-based settings.. Phase 1 will include 6-months of active intervention. Phase 2 will consist of 6-months of maintenance and observation. Measurements will occur at screening, baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to 2 groups: (1) a standardized behavioral weight loss intervention with a one-size-fits-all regimen that includes counseling about restriction of calories and calories from fat, and physical activity, delivered using mHealth technology, or (2) all of the elements of mHealth, plus personalized dietary recommendations to minimize glycemic response to meals. Participants will be required to attend 6 separate visits over both phases of the study.
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of increased protein ingestion, particularly when coupled with a low glycaemic index (GI) to reduce biomarkers related to high risk of diabetes.
Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in adverse soft tissue body composition changes and an extremely sedentary lifestyle. These abrupt changes often lead to a high prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases, such as impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, conditions which predispose those with SCI to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease compared to the general population. Due to paralysis and wheel chair dependence, maintaining an adequate level of physical activity to counteract these deleterious metabolic changes presents a unique obstacle because conventional first line interventions are lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet and exercise), which may be difficult to achieve. Recently, a new medication has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus, and it has also been investigated as an off-label treatment to induce weight loss. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are a class of drugs designed to mimic the endogenous incretin hormones released from the gut in a glucose dependent manner following a meal. The mechanisms of action for this drug class of medications include stimulation of glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, slowed gastric emptying, and reduction of postprandial glucose excursions following food intake. In addition to improved glycemic control, this class of medications also shows promise for its non-glycemic action of facilitating weight loss. The method of delivery of the GLP-1's is by self-administered injections once daily or once weekly, depending on the severity of the clinical case and therapeutic targets for a specific patient.
The aim of the study is to describe the glycemic, insulinemic and appetitive responses to liquid and solid foods where either soluble fiber or maltodextrin are used as the carbohydrate substrate.
The intent of this study is to examine the extent to which daily incorporation of egg into a diet improves glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and body composition in overweight and obese adults with pre- and type II-diabetes. The hypothesis of this study is that the daily incorporation of one large egg into a diet for 12 weeks will exert positive effects on factors associated with glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with pre- and type II-diabetes through improvements in body weight, body composition, and lipid metabolism.
The Personalized Nutrition Project for Prediabetes (PNP3) study will investigate whether personalized diet intervention will improve postprandial blood glucose levels and other metabolic health factors in individuals with prediabetes as compared with the standard low-fat diet.
First, it will be evaluated whether supplementation of eriocitrin reduces hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, significantly reducing the risk of diabetes. The effects of eriocitrin on the lipid profile, inflammatory, endothelial, hepatic and renal biomarkers will also be evaluated. It is expected that metabolic parameters that constitute risk factors for diabetes and associated chronic diseases are expected to be improved by supplementation with eriocitrin
The overarching objective of our work is to provide an inexpensive and scalable m-health tool to increase both volume and intensity of physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in patients at risk for type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study is to pilot test MapTrek, a text-messaging based intervention.
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a serine exopeptidase able to inactivate various oligopeptides involved in inflammation, immunity and vascular function. Our aim was to investigate the associations between constitutive levels of DPP4 activity and inflammatory biomarkers, skin microvascular reactivity, gut peptides, insulin resistance indexes, heart rate and blood pressure variability, and measures of adiposity in subjects with different grades of glucose tolerance.
The purpose of this study is to test a flexible lifestyle program designed to help Latino men make healthy lifestyle changes to lower their risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. The program is called HOMBRE (Hombres con Opciones para Mejorar el Bienestar y bajar el Riesgo de Enfermedades crónicas; English translation: Men with choices to improve well being and decrease chronic disease risk).
