United for Health: Type 2 Diabetes Prevention in Latino Teens

Prediabetic StateInsulin Resistance4 more

This study pilots the feasibility and acceptability of a family-based lifestyle intervention for decreasing diabetes risk called "Salud sin Barreras" (meaning, "Health without Barriers") delivered in the community to Latino teens at risk for type 2 diabetes. This program combines traditional lifestyle intervention to change eating and physical activity with learning mindfulness-based stress reduction tools. We also are exploring how Salud sin Barreras lowers stress and improves insulin resistance in Latino teens, as compared to lifestyle-only intervention, the "La Vida Saludable" (meaning, the Healthy Living Program; HeLP).

Evalutation of Insulin Sensitivity Through Hyperinsulinemic Clamp in Children With GH Deficiency...

Growth Hormone Deficiency

Data about the impact of growth hormone treatment on insulin sensitivity in children are quite controversial, due to the different surrogate indexes that have been used, like Homa-IR, QUICKI, ISI-Matsuda or adipokine levels. The investigators aimed to evaluate insulin sensitivity through the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, considered the gold standard technique, in children affected by growth hormone deficiency and to compare the M-value with the most commonly used surrogate indexes of insulin sensitivity.

Impact of Poplar Propolis on Metabolic Disturbances of Insulin Resistance

Insulin Resistance

Propolis, a natural resinous mixture rich in polyphenols, produced by bees from a variety of plant sources, has shown significant therapeutic effects and may prevent the development of certain chronic diseases. Current evidence supports the beneficial effect of these bioactive phytochemicals on the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of poplar propolis extract powder (PPEP) on glucose homeostasis and other clinical parameters in insulin-resistant patients (diagnosed by HOMA-IR index > 1.85 for men and > 2.07 for women).

Insulin Resistance Following ADT for Prostate CA

Insulin ResistanceProstate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Suppression of male hormone levels by using GnRH agonist ("hormone blocking therapy") for a few years is routinely used to treat prostate cancer. While the treatment is very effective, it decreases muscle mass and increases fat mass. This results in a decrease in insulin action (also called insulin resistance) and increases the likelihood of diabetes. It may also contribute to risk of developing heart disease. The investigators propose to conduct a trial that will:- study the mechanisms through which GnRH agonists cause insulin resistance. Evaluate a treatment that can decrease insulin resistance. This is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind trial. Forty-four men with prostate cancer will be recruited in the trial before starting GnRH agonist therapy. Participants will undergo metabolic studies to evaluate insulin action (called insulin clamp), abdominal fat tissue biopsy to study insulin action at the cellular level and blood draws. The study volunteers will then be given either a placebo tablet or pioglitazone tablet to take once a day for the next six months. The metabolic tests, blood test and fat tissue biopsy will be obtained again at the end of the study.

Ladarixin as Adjunctive Therapy to Improve Insulin Sensitivity and Glucometabolic Outcomes in Type...

Type I Diabetes

Objectives Primary study objective: To determine whether orally-administered ladarixin versus placebo adjunctive therapy improves insulin sensitivity in overweight, insulin-resistant (IR) type 1 Diabetic (T1D) adult subjects. Secondary study objectives: To determine whether orally-administered ladarixin versus placebo adjunctive therapy is safe and well-tolerated in overweight, IR T1D adult subjects.

Pioglitazone and Insulin Resistance in ADT

Prostate CancerInsulin Resistance3 more

This study is being done to establish the mechanisms underlying insulin resistance (reduced insulin action that can lead to high blood sugar and maybe diabetes) in patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate carcinoma as well as to investigate the role of pioglitazone therapy in reduction/ reversal of that insulin resistance

Omega-3 to Reduce Diabetes Risk in Subjects With High Number of Particles That Carry "Bad Cholesterol"...

Type 2 DiabetesInsulin Sensitivity/Resistance3 more

In this project, investigators explored the role of the particles that carry "bad cholesterol" in the blood (termed LDL) that are known to promote heart disease, in the promotion of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans. In specific, they investigated how these particles may induce the activation of an immune pathway in human fat tissue leading to multiple anomalies that favors T2D. They also explored whether omega-3 fatty acids, which are the type of fat found in fish oils can counterbalance the negative effects of LDL in fat tissue, thus providing a natural way to help reduce the risk for T2D in subjects with elevated blood LDL. To do so, 41 subjects who were free of disease or medication affecting metabolism were enrolled at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute between 2013 and 2019 and were placed on an intervention with omega-3 fatty acids supplementation for 12 weeks (2.7 g/day, Triple Strength Omega-3 from Webbers Naturals). Investigators examined the effects of LDL and omega-3 on risk factors for T2D before and after the intervention in the whole body and specifically in fat tissue biopsies taken from the hip region. Eighty percent of the subjects who were enrolled into the study completed the intervention.

Comparison of Time-Restricted Feeding Versus Grazing

PrediabetesInsulin Resistance1 more

The purpose of this pilot study is to find out what eating meals in a short time period early in the day (time-restricted feeding) versus eating meals spread out during the day (grazing) does to the body's ability to control blood sugar and to the health of its blood vessels. The investigators hypothesize that time-restricted feeding will be more effective at improving glucose tolerance and vascular condition (inflammation and micro- and macro-vascular function) than grazing.
