Filter by:This study aims to investigate the potential effects of the administration of hydroxytyrosol, which is an extra virgin olive oil phenolic compound, in doses 15 milligrams and 5 milligrams daily versus placebo for 6 months in anthropometric parameters such as body weight, body fat and visceral fat, in combination with diet, in overweight and obese women.
Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Smectite is a natural silicate clay belonging to the dioctahedral smectite class formed from aluminomagnesium silicate. It is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but binds to intestinal mucous, forms multilayer structure with high plastic viscosity and powerful coating properties hence preserving integrity of the mucus, and has the ability to absorb directly bacterial toxins, bacteria, viruses and bile salts. The current study aim was to conduct placebo-controlled randomize clinical trial for the efficiency of a combination of multiprobiotics with smectite (Symbiter-Forte formulation) as an adjunction to the standard anti-diabetic therapy on IR, glycemic control parameters, β-cells functional activity, anthropometric parameters and markers of a chronic systemic inflammatory response in type 2 diabetes patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about focused power ultrasound (FPU)-mediated perirenal fat (PRF) ablation for lowering serum cholesterol levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of focused power ultrasound (FPU)-mediated perirenal fat ablation for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels? Participants will randomly receive PRF ablation or sham treatment, and undergo follow-up at 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months post-procedure.
Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are known to exert a strong positive influence on metabolism and inflammation. The data from animal studies suggested that both probiotics and omega-3 can affect body weight, influence on glucose and fat metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce chronic systemic inflammation. In respect to experimental data, the current study aim was to provide double-blind single center RCT, for study the efficacy of co-administration of probiotic with omega-3 vs. placebo in type 2 diabetes patient
The principal aim of the present study is to analyze adiponectin, omentin-1, apelin and visfatin plasma levels in patients with and without AF in an effort to identify their potential role in the development of AF.
The purpose of this study is to test the potential ability of vinegar to significantly decrease visceral fat in healthy adults with "central obesity". During the 8-week trial, participants will either consume a low-dose vinegar pill (control treatment) or a vinegar drink twice per day. Research Aim and Hypothesis H1 Daily vinegar consumption will be associated with loss in visceral fat (as measured by DXA) after 8 weeks compared to the placebo treatment (low-vinegar pill) in a group of healthy adults with "central obesity". H2 Daily vinegar consumption will be associated with a decrease in abdominal circumference after 8 weeks compared to the placebo treatment (low-vinegar pill) in a group of healthy adults with "central obesity".
The objective of the proposed study is to enroll women with obesity that will undergo a controlled, energy restricted feeding intervention to test the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on adipose distribution and circulating testosterone during weight loss.
This is a large and comprehensively phenotyped cohort with fasting glycaemia where the predictive value of body composition and anthropometric measures of total and central fat distribution for postprandial carbohydrate intolerance are studied.
Given the increasing prevalence of obesity, there is an urgent need to find better strategies to promote physical activity in the community. The present study will invite 70-year-olds with central (abdominal) obesity to participate in a 10-week aerobic exercise program. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two equally large groups. The first group will complete the exercise program in instructor-led groups. The second group will complete the program at home with the help of an on-line video.
The investigators propose to undertake a controlled dietary intervention study in UAE subjects with visceral obesity to examine the feasibility of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and/or whole-grain fiber in the UAE population. The research will also investigate the longer-term influence of increased fruits, vegetables and fiber consumption on health and its capacity to sustain lifestyle change.
