Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Diseases"

The aim of this study is thus to assess the effect of a chewing gum containing fibres on body weight, metabolism and the oral and intestinal microbiomes in a population of obese children.

Given the current increase in the incidence of dyslipidemia and obesity in the general population, there is a strong interest in identifying dietary factors capable of preventing the onset of metabolic diseases or at least capable of reducing metabolic risk. Several experimental evidences have shown that improving the carbohydrate and lipid profile in subjects at risk can reduce mortality linked to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The diet is, therefore, an effective prevention tool in combating diseases related to metabolism, such as MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease). In particular, fruit with its high content of polyphenols has been shown to exert a high anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiproliferative action. Polyphenols extracted from oranges of the "Tacle" variety have demonstrated in vitro an inhibitory action of cholesterol synthesis. In addition, the consumption of orange juice has been shown to improve the serum lipid profile of obese subjects, as well as "hesperedine", a flavonoid mainly present in oranges is able to reduce the proliferative activity of MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line with estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors) cells.

Hyperglycemia following meals in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common problem. Recently, our group found that oral consumption of the ketone metabolite, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), effectively stimulates insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying.The aim of this study is to investigate the dose/response relationship between 3-OHB servings of 0, 10, 20 and 40 grams 30 minutes before an OGTT and, ii) investigate the role of timing by serving 20 grams of 3-OHB at different timepoints ahead of an OGTT (0, 30 and 60 minutes)

This study is a randomized, open-label, single dose, crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles and safety of CKD-387 in healthy volunteers under fasting condition.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of GLP-1RA on blood glucose, body weight, glucose and lipid metabolism and fat distribution in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This is a 26-week randomized, free-living, open-label, two-arm, two-phase, crossover trial. Participants will receive two interventions at different phases, including the Android artificial pancreas system(AndroidAPS-rt-CGM) and sensor-augment pump(SAP), and use marketed rapid-acting insulin analogs (insulin Aspart, insulin Lispro, or insulin Glulisine) normally used in their usual clinical care. The safety and efficacy of AndroidAPS-rt-CGM and SAP in adult T1DM with suboptimal glycemic control will be compared to explore whether the use of AndroidAPS-rt-CGM in adult T1DM with suboptimal glycemic control will be associated with better glycemic control with no increased hypoglycemia.

This is a clinical study with participants over 18 years of age that meet the selection criteria. This will be 42-day study divided into three phases of 14 days each: 14 days without intervention, 14 days with intervention with functional foods and 14 days without intervention again. With the objective of assess the changes in the postprandial glycemic responses through the gut microbiota and urine metabolites.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide compared to placebo in children or teenagers with type 2 diabetes taking metformin, or basal insulin, or both. The overall study will last about 60 weeks with up to 14 clinic visits and 6 phone visits. Clinic visits will include blood sample collection, physical exam and questionnaire.

Black individuals are more likely to have decreased insulin sensitivity which results in a high risk for the development of cardiometabolic disease. The reasons for this are incompletely understood. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones produced by the heart that play a role in regulating the metabolic health of an individual. Low circulating level of NPs is an important contributor to increased risk for diabetes. The NP levels are relatively lower among Black individuals thus affecting their metabolic health and putting them at a higher risk for diabetes. This study aims to test the hypothesis that by augmenting NP levels using sacubitril/valsartan, among Black Individuals one can improve their metabolic health (as measured by insulin sensitivity & energy expenditure) and help establish the role of NPs in the underlying mechanism behind increased risk for cardiometabolic disease in these population.

Many adults who are overweight have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which disrupts sleep and makes it difficult to breath during the night. OSA increases the risk for a person to become insulin resistant and diabetic. It is not known why OSA causes this problem, i.e., whether it is disrupted sleep or lack of oxygen., which can change how the body handles glucose in adipose tissue, muscle tissue and liver. The purpose of this research study is to determine the key issues and mechanisms responsible for dysregulated glucose metabolism in people with OSA. The investigators will do this by comparing glucose metabolism in people who have OSA, and those who do not, and by evaluating the effect of treating OSA by providing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or simply oxygen during the night. The proposed study will evaluate the primary causes(s) (hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, or both) and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the OSA-associated metabolic abnormalities. Knowing the primary cause of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the OSA-associated metabolic abnormalities could help develop potentially novel therapeutic strategies to provide treatment for adults in improving OSA and associated comorbidities.
