Safety and Efficacy Study of 10XB-101 in Adults With Bilateral Flank Adiposity

Subcutaneous Fat Disorder

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of an injection study drug in decreasing bilateral flank adiposity. The main question it aims to answer is: •How safe and effective is the injection study drug in removing bilateral flank adiposity compared to a placebo? Participants will be: Be given injections every month for 5 months over the right and left flanks. Be asked to be seen in the clinic for 13 visits and 3 phone call visits during a duration of 1 year.

Combination of Light and Ultrasound to Reduce Abdominal Fat

Subcutaneous Fat Disorder

Light and ultrasound can be interesting alternatives to reduce abdominal fat. Thus, the main objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of these isolated techniques and their association in subcutaneous abdominal localized fat. These techniques will be used adding muscle electrostimulation in all groups. A total of 40 female participants will be recruited at the university outpatient, which will be distributed among four experimental groups: light + sham ultrasound + electrostimulation; light sham + ultrasound + electrostimulation; combined treatment (light + ultrasound) + electrostimulation; sham combined treatment + electrostimulation. The treatments will consist of eight sessions, twice a week for a month, being 90 minutes per session.

Causal Mechanisms in Adolescent Arterial Stiffness

Lipid DisorderDyslipidemias4 more

Hardening of the blood vessels, called arterial stiffness, is a risk factor for future heart disease and its causes are unclear. The proposed study will 1) randomly assign adolescents at high risk of stiffening blood vessels to take a protein supplement called carnitine and study its effects on arterial stiffening and 2) study carnitine related genes for their effect on arterial stiffening. The study will definitively establish a role for carnitine action as a cause of stiffening blood vessels and signal a way to treat or prevent stiffening.

Polypill in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Acute Coronary SyndromeLipid Disorder1 more

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a major contributor to mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. Effective therapies are widely available; however, adherence is low. This contributes to worse patient outcomes and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The once-daily polypill leverages a population-based strategy that has previously demonstrated efficacy in improving adherence and access to therapy in low-resource settings, making it an innovative approach for improving post-ACS care. This study aims to investigate the utility of a polypill-based strategy for patients with ACS with drug eluting stent (DES) placement. The polypill will consist of a high-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 40 mg daily), aspirin 81 mg daily, and either clopidogrel 75 mg or prasugrel 10 mg daily.

An Experimental Study on the Effect of Tenofovir Amibufenamide on Blood Lipid During Anti-HBV Treatment...

Hepatitis BChronic1 more

In June 2021, Chinese Food and Drug Administration approved the launch of the self-developed new drug Tenofovir Amibufenamide(TMF). TMF is a new second generation of tenofovir(TFV) and its effect on blood lipids is unclear. Our study aims to figure out the effect of TMF on serum lipid level in the process of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients.

The Effect of Flexitarian, Time-restricted Eating on Cardiometabolic Traits in Normal Weight, Young...

Cardiometabolic SyndromeGlucose Metabolism Disorders2 more

The goal of this factorial randomized controlled trial is to find out whether time-restricted eating and flexitarian diet (on its own and combined) can improve cardiometabolic health markers in normal weight, young men with metabolic abnormalities? Participants will be assigned to four groups: control, flexitarian, time-restricted eating and time-restricted eating + flexitarian. Investigators will look for men with elevated fasting blood glucose or blood lipids level or blood pressure and with normal body weight and waistline. Participants from the flexitarian group will be asked to follow a diet that has been carefully designed for them by the PI and dietitian for the period of 8 weeks. Participants from the control group will receive general healthy eating recommendations. We aim to investigate if the experiment had any effect on changes in metabolic, inflammation and nutritional markers, blood pressure and body weight and composition. Also, the effect of diets on men's sleep, general wellbeing and satisfaction with treatment will be investigated. The proposed study can test a potentially effective nutritional intervention which is feasible to adopt and sustainable (in line with recent planetary diet recommendations). Confirming its effectiveness can fill the research gap, providing new knowledge and approach to the prevention and treatment of metabolic abnormalities in young, lean men.

Impact of Foods on Bile Acids, Metabolites, and Inflammation

InflammationHypertriglyceridemia4 more

Dietary incorporation of pulse crops may be an effective way to lower unhealthy elevations in serum bile acids. These elevations play a direct role in promoting obesity-related diseases estimated to be present in about one third of the US adult population, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. The overarching hypothesis for this study is that pulse consumption increases bile acid secretion and excretion, which will decrease toxicity linked to excess accumulation of bile in the liver, improve metabolism, and lower resulting levels of bile acids in the serum. In direct alignment with the USDA-AFRI Food, Safety, Nutrition, and Health priority to address obesity and related chronic disease with increased fruit and vegetable consumption and also with the American Pulse Association call to investigate the impact of regular pulse consumption on human physical well- being, the long-term research goal of this study is to establish effective and practical therapeutic strategies utilizing dietary incorporation of pulse crops to prevent or reverse obesity driven diseases. The specific objectives in this proposal are to: determine the impact of acute lentil ingestion on serum postprandial bile acid responses and composition in a human cohort with obesity, and determine the impact of daily lentil consumption for 12 weeks on serum fasting and postprandial bile acid concentrations and composition in an overweight or obese cohort with elevated postprandial triglycerides. This proposal is being submitted in response to the American Pulse Association commodity board sponsored topic of investigating the impact pulse crop consumption on health.

Effect of Plasma Ceramides on Peripheral Vascular Function

Peripheral Vascular DiseaseLipid Disorder1 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of elevated plasma ceramides on peripheral vascular function. Subjects will consume a high fat meal consisting of long chain fatty acids (to increase plasma ceramides) or medium chain fatty acids (control). Subjects' vascular function will be assessed with laser Doppler flowmetry to measure their artery function and with the CytoCam device to assess their peripheral microvascular endothelial function.
