Active clinical trials for "Glucose Intolerance"

This study will test Scanadu Urine Device for clinical performance and usability.

A quantitative prospective cohort study will be conducted, where blood samples will be collected at different timings during the IVF protocol, to assess the impact of fertility medications on metabolic parameters of patients undergoing IVF treatment.

Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest links between cognitive impairments and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The underlying mechanisms and causality in diabetes-related cognitive impairment are largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate cognitive impairment and the role of BDNF in prediabetes and diabetes patients.

Obesity during pregnancy increases the risk for high glucose and diabetes in the mother, and for obesity and comorbid metabolic disease in the offspring. Results of previous intervention studies designed to improve the metabolic health of obese mothers, and thereby reduce the risk to their offspring, have been modest at best. Furthermore, few studies have proved to be efficacious among low income African American women who have high risk for the transmission of obesity to future generations. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of changing the types of foods and drinks that are consumed at night during late pregnancy in order to improve maternal glucose tolerance and reduce the risk for future obesity in the child.

In the circulation 25-hydroxyvitaminD (25(OH)D) is bound to the vitamin D binding protein (DBP) and albumin. According to the free hormone hypothesis, it is, however, the free fraction that is biologically active. Polymorphisms in DBP are related to the serum level of 25(OH)D. As these polymorphisms may also affect the binding affinities for 25(OH)D, the total serum 25(OH)D may not necessary reflect the free fraction. To test this hypothesis, we will calculate the free fraction of 25(OH)D by correction for DBP and albumin content, and also measure free 25(OH)D from equilibrium dialysis and ultra filtration. Furthermore, we will relate total serum 25(OH)D as well as the free and biologically active (free- albumin-bound) 25(OH)D to the well established vitamin D effect marker serum parathyroid hormone as well as to the RNA expression in peripheral blood to evaluate the biological importance of the free versus the total fraction of 25(OH)D. We will invite 300 subjects from an ongoing vitamin D supplementation study to participate in the study which will be one visit only and include collection of blood samples.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating pre-diabetic & pre-hypertensive individuals using multiple drugs intervention (anti-hypertensive drugs (i.e., ACEI) plus anti-glycemic drug (i.e., metformin) plus anti-hyperlipidemic drug (statin)) would lower Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) events.

This research is to investigate the nutritional supplement chromium picolinate. The investigators are testing to see how effective this supplement is in treating insulin resistance associated with HIV disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if, in a subset of patients treated with a beta-blocker and diuretic, prediabetes is detectable to a greater extent through a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) compared to fasting glucose measurement.

Many adipokines are thought that related with metabolic disturbance such as glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. It is reported that regular physical training could prevent the progression of diabetes from prediabetes and improve the insulin resistance. After physical training, many adipokine levels were changed due to improving insulin resistance. In this study, we will examine the various adipokine levels such as adiponectin, RBP-4, and adrenomedullin after exercise training through exercise prescription in IFG and IGT patients.

This project will compare the amount of bile acids and their kinetics in overweight and obese people with normal glucose metabolism, impaired glucose tolerance and frank type 2 diabetes. We hypothesize that bile acids will behave differently in these groups. We will also explore the effects of Colesevelam HCl, a medicine that lowers LDL cholesterol by binding bile acids, on bile acids in those groups. We hypothesize the drug may have different actions on bile acids in subjects with different degrees of abnormal glucose metabolism.
