Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Diseases"

This study tested the hypothesis that ground beef high in monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and low in saturated fat (SFA) would increase the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol concentration and low-density lipoprotein particle diameter. In a crossover dietary intervention, 27 free-living normocholesterolemic men completed treatments in which five 114-g ground beef patties/week were consumed for 5 weeks with an intervening 4-week washout period. Patties contained 24% total fat with a MUFA:SFA ratio of either 0.71 (low MUFA, from pasture-fed cattle) or 1.10 (high MUFA, from grain-fed cattle).

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a gut-derived incretin hormone that affects glucose, lipid and bone metabolism. Secretion of GIP into the blood stream from enteroendocrine cells is stimulated bu nutrients in the gut lumen and results in potentiation of glucose stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreas. The objective of this study is to investigate the physiology of GIP(1-30)NH2 in humans with insulin secretion as the primary endpoint. Furthermore the effects on on plasma/serum levels of glucagon, C-peptide, glucose, bone markers (CTX and P1NP) will be measured.

This study is aimed at evaluating the hypoglycemic effects of a dietary supplement that associates the properties of two inositols (myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol) in the ratio 40:1 to Gymnema sylvestre, alpha-lactalbumin and zinc.

Negative-calorie diet is among the popular dieting guides for weight loss; however, there is still little knowledge about this method. The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet in men.

The purpose of the study is to understand the effect of the dietary supplement "Nicotinamide mononucleotide" on metabolic health in people.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the conversion of OP to OC in individual X and the family member of individual X. The investigators hypothesize that one or more of the single nucleoprotein polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CES1 gene represent a clinically important functional polymorphism.

The hypothesis of this study is that a chronic program of physical strength training, associates to effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) can, possibly, provide changes in genic expression of muscle and to promote an enhancement of anaerobic muscle performance in humans.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary food effect of PF-04991532 following single escalating oral doses in healthy adult subjects.

The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidimensional worksite intervention program to reduce the severity of metabolic disorders in older workers in Taiwan.

This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple oral 200-mg doses of Pf-05175157 administered twice daily for 14 days in healthy overweight and obese subjects.
