Filter by:A body of animal studies as well as observational studies in humans demonstrated that butyrate is one SCFA that has pronounced positive effects on body weight control, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Even though the SCFA hexanoate is less researched, it has been shown to be involved in anti-inflammatory processes. Of note, acute human studies showed that fibre-induced metabolic improvements are linked to higher SCFA levels in the systemic circulation. It has been shown that a butyrate/hexanoate-enriched triglyceride oil enhanced systemic butyrate and hexanoate concentrations for a prolonged time. Yet, it remains to be determined whether a chronic increase in circulating butyrate and hexanoate concentrations translate into long-term benefits. In this study it is hypothesized that a chronic increase of butyrate/hexanoate in the circulation may improve host metabolism and metabolic health by improving adipose tissue function, reducing systemic lipid overflow and inflammation thereby increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity in individual with overweight/obesity and prediabetes.
Approximately 92 million U.S. adults (~38% of population) have prediabetes (PreD). Because people with PreD are at high risk CMD, they are a target population for diabetes prevention programs. The focus is people with PreD because of their high risk for developing CMD and large numbers, providing an opportunity to investigate behavioral and environmental approaches as preventive measures in a well-defined population. Urbanization affords challenges and opportunities to public health that include exposure to obesogenic environments, air pollution, and psychosocial stressors. In healthy adults suggest exposure to nature has health benefits relative to exposure to built environments. Hypothesized mechanisms for health benefits of Greenspace exposure include increased physical activity (PA), attention restoration, stress reduction, and reduced exposure to pollution. Many of the health benefits are associated with reduced psychological and physiological stress leading to better autonomic functioning as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) and other biomarkers. Multiple studies suggest that PA and exposure to natural environments may act together to improve health. Yet, aside from our preliminary studies, we are not aware of any studies that examined how physical activity may interact with exposure to urban Greenspace ('Green') compared with built urban environments ('Gray'), to reduce stress and improve health. The purpose of this proposed study is to conduct a randomized crossover trial comparing differences in the psychosocial and physiological effects of walking in urban Green and Gray spaces in adults with PreD.
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on weight loss and changes of glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adults with pre-diabetes.
The investigators overarching goal is to increase the percentage of patients engaging in diabetes prevention activities to reduce the incidence of diabetes. The investigators objective is to design and pilot test a prediabetes clinical decision support (CDS) tool in the electronic health record (EHR) that will assess the patient's activation level based on responses to a questionnaire. Based on the patient's assessed level of activation, the tool will generate several communication recommendations to guide clinicians in conversations related to prediabetes/lifestyle change and tailor recommendations about available resources (e.g., care manager, health coach, DPP) to support patient activation.
The purpose of this study; To investigate the effects of Clinical Pilates and Tai Chi exercises on glycemic control, body composition, balance function and physical activity level in individuals with prediabetes.
The objective of the study is to determine the effect of dairy product matrices on insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with prediabetes. Females and males (30-65 y) will be recruited from the greater Montreal area. Upon screening, those with prediabetes will complete a 2-wk run-in period in which participants will consume 1 serving/d of regular-fat dairy products (milk, yogurt, or cheese). Adherent participants will be randomized by sex into 1 of 3 groups: ≤1 serving/d of dairy (limited dairy) or 2-3 servings/d of reduced-fat or regular-fat dairy for 12 weeks. Participants will be instructed on how to incorporate foods into their diet to prevent changes in their body weight. The hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp will be used before and after the intervention to document potential changes in insulin sensitivity as the primary outcome. In addition, glycemic variables, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors will be assessed as secondary outcomes. Adherence to intervention will be assessed at each visit by food diaries and a record of consumed dairy products.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of Cooperative Extension implementing two delivery methods (group video vs. self-directed) and participant recruitment strategies of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) to adults in rural communities. Exploratory assessments of implementation facilitators and barriers will be completed to determine strategies that may impact intervention effectiveness and that may support or impede the implementation, dissemination, and effectiveness of Cooperative Extension to deliver the NDPP to prediabetic adults in rural areas.
The purpose of this observational trial is to advance digital health monitoring through the analysis of Photoplethysmography (PPG) waveforms collected via RE.DOCTOR Vitals software. The study aims to collect a diverse and extensive dataset of PPG waveforms, alongside traditional physiological measurements, for the purpose of enhancing existing algorithms and machine learning models used in health monitoring. The primary focus is on improving the accuracy and reliability of algorithms in interpreting PPG data to derive meaningful insights into physiological parameters. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How can extensive datasets of PPG waveforms be utilized to enhance existing algorithms and machine learning models? - How do correlations between PPG waveforms and key physiological parameters (such as glucose levels, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate) contribute to refining algorithms for more accurate and reliable health predictions? Participants will be asked to: - Continuously monitor their health using smartphone applications. - Allow the collection of PPG waveforms in diverse settings. - Engage in tasks related to monitor health parameters using medically approved devices
This trial is conducted in China. The purpose of the 24-week trial is to investigate the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss and the purpose of the extension is to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin in obese subjects without diabetes. Trial has the following two periods: 1) A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial for evaluating the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss; 2) A 12-week multicenter randomized controlled open-label trial for evaluating the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin followed by a 24-week extension period.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the degree of effort during a resistance exercise session on blood glucose levels in individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus need to perform resistance exercise with a high degree of effort for their blood glucose to improve? - How do they feel (their enjoyment, discomfort) after the sessions with different degrees of effort? Participants will perform 3 situations separated by at least 4 days, after being familiarized with all exercises and procedures: - One control day, when they will not exercise; - A high-effort resistance exercise session; - A low-effort resistance exercise session Researchers will measure blood glucose levels and psychological responses after these situations to see if the effort was important for the improvement of their blood glucose and how effort affected the way they felt after each situation.
