AgingObesity1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether DHEA replacement therapy decreases abdominal fat and improves insulin sensitivity.
High Intensity Interval Training and Skeletal Muscle Insulin Sensitivity
Overweight and ObesityThis human intervention study will test if 12 weeks of supervised HIIT-based intervention improves skeletal muscle NOGD capacity in obese subjects.

Glycemic and Hormone Responses After the Intake of Four Types of Bread.
HyperglycemiaInsulin SensitivityThe purposes of the present study are to determine the glycemic and insulinemic responses, the satiety rate and the postprandial plasma concentrations of free fatty acids, triglycerides and satiety hormones after the ingestion of four types of breads: handcrafted bread made with wheat organic flour; handcrafted bread with wheat flour of large-scale retail distribution; handcrafted bread with organic einkorn flour and a commercial wheat bread.
The Effect of Tea on Vascular Function and Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin ResistanceThe aim of this research is to explore changes in peripheral/cerebrovascular function and insulin sensitivity after a 7-day combination of physical activity reduction (-50% steps per day) and overfeeding (+50% kcal per day, comprising 65% fat) in healthy male volunteers, and examine whether daily intake of tea can prevent such changes.
Yoga Improves Aerobic Fitness, Glycemia and Mood State and Reduces Abdominal Obesity
ObesityInsulin ResistanceStretching and flexibility exercise such as yoga and functional resistance exercise are two forms of exercise that are growing in popularity. However, they have not been scientifically tested to demonstrate their ability to improve body composition, fitness, heart and metabolic health, and mood state in overweight/obese women. The investigators hypothesize that during an 11 week intervention, both forms of exercise will improve body composition, heart and metabolic health and mood state.
Glycemic Load, Metabolism & Obesity in Pregnancy
ObesityInsulin ResistanceThe purpose of the study is to determine if a low glycemic load diet reduces the gain of body fat and insulin resistance during the last half of pregnancy in obese women.
