Filter by:This study evaluates the existence of a day-night rhythm in skeletal muscle energy metabolism in prediabetic subjects. Subjects will stay at the research facility for 44 hours with a standardized living protocol during which several measurements of skeletal muscle and whole body energy metabolism will be performed.
This study will compare the low-sodium/low-fat DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet with a very low-carbohydrate diet, helping us to better understand how two different dietary approaches may help participants control their blood pressure, lose weight, and reduce their blood glucose.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 2 weeks dapagliflozin treatment in individuals with a disrupted glucose homeostasis on the switch between carbohydrate and lipid oxidation during the night
This study aims to determine whether the use of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) regulate insulin and glucagon secretion, and whether the supplement has any effect on body weight and body composition. Subjects who participate in this study will receive an 8-week supply of supplement. The study supplements will be manufactured by Scientific Living, in Irvine, CA for high dose BCAA and the low dose BCAA is manufactured by Nutribiotic, Lakeport, CA. Timed blood collections will be used to measure how BCAA affect glucose metabolism/insulin sensitivity in human subjects.
Based on our hypothesis that orally administered resistant starch and beta glucan will be fermented into a SCFA pattern high in acetate and that this will lead to beneficial effects on human substrate and energy metabolism, we aim to address the following primary objective: To investigate the effects of an acute administration of inulin/beta glucan in combination with resistant starch on fecal and plasma acetate, as well as on fasting and postprandial substrate and energy metabolism in lean normoglycemic men and obese, prediabetic men.

Maintaining well-controlled blood glucose concentrations is essential in the prevention of chronic cardiometabolic diseases. The blood glucose response to dietary and/or lifestyle patterns may vary between individuals. Insulin resistance in specific metabolic organs such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue or the liver may underlie differential blood glucose responses. This dietary intervention study aims to obtain insight into the metabolic and lifestyle determinants of postprandial blood glucose responses, and to establish the effect of macronutrient manipulation of a 12-week dietary intervention on blood glucose homeostasis in metabolically different subgroups an its relationship to physical and mental performance and well-being.
This study will determine if DNA-based dietary guidelines can improve glucose regulation in pre-diabetic individuals significantly more than standard dietary guidelines following 6 weeks of the intervention. This will be assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test, which is a standard clinical measurement used to assess impaired glucose regulation. Pre-diabetic individuals will be recruited by offering the opportunity to self-assess their risk score for type 2 diabetes using the Leicester Risk Score Questionnaire on the Diabetes United Kingdom website, and they can contact the clinical trial team if they are interested in participating in the trial. They will then be invited for a point of care Hba1c test to determine their suitability for the trial. The point of care Hba1c test is a simple finger prick test to assess glucose regulation. The potential for lifestyle interventions to reduce the progression to type 2 diabetes from pre-diabetic states has been demonstrated in a number of randomised control trials (RCTs) in different countries, with a meta-analysis of RCTs suggesting that lifestyle intervention in high risk subjects can halve the incidence of diabetes. However, they have been expensive and labour intensive, with multiple personal contacts. Furthermore, DNA based dietary advice has shown a greater improvement in fasting glucose measurements in obese individuals compared to standard dietary advice, with the BMI (body mass index) only showing a long-term improvement in the group that received DNA-based dietary advice. The proposed study may be able to show that increased benefits can be obtained by following a DNA-based diet compared to standard dietary advice for individuals with pre-diabetes. Furthermore, the exploratory arm of the study will receive the advice via an app (provided by DnaNudge Ltd), which if effective, would demonstrate a low-cost, widely-distributable method that could be deployed to the general public without requiring individuals to self-identify as pre-diabetic to receive an intervention.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a single bout of moderate exercise, standardized breakfast and buffet meal on appetite-related hormones, type two diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors with a comparison between healthy South Asian and white European men. It is of interest to see if any factor differences occur in appetite-regulating hormones and cardiovascular disease risk factors whilst exercising. If so strategies may be used to alter regulation in diet and exercise to reduce risk cardiovascular disease as this is the number one cause of death globally.
This study will recruit pre-diabetic patients to see if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with a low carbohydrate diet can reduce the percentage of time the CGM readings are above the normal range. Through this study it will demonstrate the feasibility of using CGM with a low carbohydrate diet to reduce weight and risk of developing diabetes in patients with pre-diabetes. Patients that appear to be eligible will be recruited from Michigan Medicine in the Family Medicine Clinic at the Livonia Center.
