Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Syndrome"

Two-arm, parallel design with children between the ages of 10 - 18 with obesity and metabolic syndrome randomized (15 per group) to reduced-carbohydrate diet or a reduced-fat diet for 8 weeks.

Wine grape pomace flour (WGPF) is a fruit byproduct high in fiber and antioxidants. The effect of WGPF consumption was tested on blood biochemical parameters including oxidative stress biomarkers. In a 3-month intervention study, 27 male volunteers, each with some components of metabolic syndrome, consumed a beef burger supplemented with 7% WGPF containing 3.5% of fiber and 1.2 mg GE/g of polyphenols (WGPF-burger), daily during the first month. The volunteers consumed no burgers in the second month, and one control burger daily in the third month. At baseline and after these periods, there were evaluated metabolic syndrome components, plasma antioxidant status [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH),uric acid, vitamin E, vitamin C], and oxidative damage markers [advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), malondialdehyde (MDA)].

The study explores whether selective memory complaints (SMC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the comorbidity of Metabolic Syndrome symptomatic of peripheral and cerebral hypo-metabolism with corresponding epigenetic shifts in global DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) methylation (away from nutrient availability and toward biosynthesis) are initiated by chronic metabolic inflexibility, over-activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway, and the deregulation of neural oxidative phosphorylation.

The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of an intervention with high-intensity interval, low volume training (HIIT-LV) or continuous aerobic exercise (CAE) on insulin resistance, insulin sensitivity and percentage of pancreatic β-cell function in adults with metabolic syndrome (MS). The secondary objective is to compare the efficacy of an intervention with HIIT-LV or CAE on glycosylated hemoglobin, mass and muscle fibre type composition of right thigh and plasma levels of musclin and apelin in adults with MS. The investigators hypothesized that HIIT-LV is more effective in decreasing insulin resistance and glycosylated hemoglobin and plasma concentrations of musclin and increasing plasma concentrations of apelin, and both mass and muscle fibre type I percentage in thigh, than CAE.

Effect of oral supplementation with probiotics on cardiometabolic risk factors, microflora and intestinal epithelial permeability, mineral content and lifestyle in obese women with postmenopausal metabolic syndrome: double-blind, randomized clinical trial.

Autonomic disfunction present in metabolic syndrome subjects is related by a greater vulnerability of the heart and risk of cardiovascular events. In this context, aerobic interval training has been highlighted by its easy applicability and benefits effects in autonomic modulation in different populations. Therefore the studies that use de aerobic interval training in this different populations didn't realize a periodization of training with preparatory periods with progressive increase of load, specific phases with less duration predominating the intensity and transition periods for recuperation. Additionally, there isn't studies that investigate the effects of aerobic interval training in autonomic modulation of individuals with metabolic syndrome. In this context, periodized aerobic interval training can arise like a new type of treatment that offering security and efficacy in subjects with metabolic syndrome. So, the aim of the study is evaluate the effect of periodized aerobic interval training in cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiovascular and anthropometric parameters of individuals with metabolic syndrome.

The aim of this study is to evaluate a one year intervention with physical activity on prescription (PAP) treatment for patients in a primary health care center setting versus an enhanced PAP-support with physiotherapist regarding physical activity (PA) level, metabolic health effects and health-related quality of life. One hundred ninety patients, 27-85 years, physically inactive, having at least one component of the metabolic syndrome and not responding with increased PA level after a 6-months PAP-treatment in primary health care centre are randomized to either enhanced support by physiotherapist (Intervention group) or continued ordinary PAP-treatment at the health care centre (Control group).

This study evaluates the effect of a combination of glycirrhizic acid, Cinnamomun Zeylanicum and corosolic acid for the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Participants receive the supplement or a placebo.

Background and study aims: Surgical and non-surgical normalization of body weight with obesity leads to a significant improvement in health and regression of metabolic syndrome. But as the reduction in body weight with obesity changes the life expectancy remains not clear enough. The use of endoscopic staplers does not exclude the emergence of serious complications of surgery, for example, including bleeding and leakage in the stapler suture line. Therefore, the advantages of using a band in the bariatrics are justified from a security standpoint. Currently, the gastric bypass is increasingly performed in the version of the mini gastric bypass (MGB). Another name for the procedure: one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). The proposal to use for the staple-free (stepleless or steplerless) creation of a pouch (band-separated gastric bypass) with use for band a vascular prosthesis is justified, but it requires comparison of this method with a stapler variant. An important issue is comparing surgical and non-surgical weight loss with obesity and metabolic syndrome and comparing life expectancy with confirmation of changes in telomere length. This study compares loss of weight, changes in other health conditions that the patient may have (co-morbidities, such as diabetes), telomere length, quality of life, the number of complications and side effects, the degree of complexity of the surgical technique and operating costs of a new laparoscopic band-separated mini- gastric bypass (LBSMGB) procedure compared with the standard stapler (linear cutter) - separated mini-gastric bypass (LSSMGB). Additionally, surgical treatment will be compared with non-surgical treatment (hypocaloric diet therapy). Who can participate? Obese adult patients with a BMI of between 30 kg/m2 and 50 kg/m2. What does the study involve? Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups. Those in the first (A) group undergo the laparoscopic band-separated mini-gastric bypass procedure. Those in the second (B) group undergo the linear cutter stapler-separated mini-gastric bypass procedure. In three (C) group including standard lifestyle intervention on weight and hypocaloric diet therapy. All patients are then followed up one month after surgery and again after 6 and, finally, 12 months after surgery where the changing body mass index, changes in co-morbidities, change telomere length and quality of life are assessed.

In this study, we propose to investigate the effects of dietary achievable doses of strawberries on serum LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and related lipid profiles, measures of glycemia and insulin resistance, and biomarkers of inflammation in a 14 week controlled crossover study.
