Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

A total of 126 premenopausal women (42 lean, 42 obese with central obesity, 42 obese with peripheral obesity) will be recruited. Anthropometric measurements and body composition using DEXA will be collected. Overnight fasted subjects will be asked to give baseline blood samples before consuming a meal containing 6 mg 57Fe in the form of FeSO4. Subjects will return after 14 days and a blood sample will be collected for measurement of isotopic enrichment into red blood cells, serving as well as a baseline for the OGTT. Subjects will then be asked to ingest a solution of glucose (50g) containing 100 mg of iron in the form of sodium ferrous citrate (SFC), after which blood samples will be collected 2 hours post iron and glucose load. All three blood samples collected at baseline, 2 weeks post labeled iron load, and 2 hours post glucose/iron load will be analyzed for their levels of iron, glycaemia and inflammatory parameters.

This study is a pilot study to examine the effects of acute inflammation on cognition and emotion in healthy participants using a between-subjects, randomized, double-blind design.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a moderate decrease in dietary zinc on DNA strand breaks and other cellular zinc biomarkers.

To evaluate the effects of PCSO-524®, and a blend of PCSO-24® (75%) and krill oil (25%) (ESPO-572®), on indirect markers of muscle damage, inflammation and soreness during recovery from muscle damaging exercise in untrained men.

Elderly are supplemented with either Omega-3 (3 x 1.1g per day) or placebo (corn oil) during 14 weeks. The last 12 weeks, supplementation is combined with resistance exercise training (3x per week) focusing on upper leg strength. In the present project, the investigators study whether differences in muscle strength and/or muscle mass between conditions can be explained by omega-3-induced effects on systemic or muscle inflammatory signaling, or differences in muscle molecular signaling.

Many studies have shown that inflammation has an important effect on the development, progression, and also response to treatment of tumors. Dexmedetomidine is a potent and selective alpha 2 receptor agonist, known to have a sedative, analgesic and immune-controlling effect. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine during surgery on postoperative inflammatory response and surgical recovery in gastric cancer patients undergoing robot or laparoscopic gastrectomy.

The present study aims at evaluating the anti-inflammatory effects of a novel food in older adult volunteers. Briefly, this randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study is performed on 91 apparently healthy older adults (age≥65 years) before and after 12 weeks' consumption of a snack enriched with camelina Sativa oil. Subjects were randomized into two groups (active group vs placebo group).

Two randomized controlled trials will be conducted to examine the effect of a food supplement on proinflammatory cytokines and biomarkers in an adult population recently diagnosed with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic or experiencing only mild symptoms. The supplement, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is marketed under the trademarked product with increased bioavailability and format versatility: Levagen+™ (Gencor Pacific Limited, Irvine, CA). The supplement curcumin is marketed under the trademarked product with increased bioavailability: HydroCurc (Gencor Pacific Limited, Irvine, CA)

Ex vivo effect of fragments and modified forms of surfactant protein D on pulmonary immune cells derived from bronchoalveolar lavage after segmental allergen challenge in patients with asthma and pilot study to assess local inflammation induced by segmental allergen challenge by magnetic resonance imaging.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a resistance training program on reducing systemic inflammation and improving chemotherapy completion in lung cancer patients being treated with curative intent chemotherapy.
