Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

The present 24-week, prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter, parallel group trial is carried to investigate and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liraglutide in combination with prandial insulin therapy vs insulin glargine in combination with prandial insulin therapy in overweight / obese patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer grant is to complete development of a virtual reality intervention to augment and improve commercial Internet-delivered behavioral weight loss treatments, and to test it in a randomized controlled trial.

This proposed randomized, double blinded 12 week crossover human feeding study aims to investigate the effects of consuming a composite drink of inulin and arabinoxylan on satiety by measuring appetite biomarkers such as subjective satiety, energy/food intake and changes in the human gut microbiota in healthy weight males (22 to 24.9kg/m2)

The increased mortality from cardiovascular disease has a significant impact on the population, and the prevalence of these diseases it become one of the major problems, since it is the leading cause of mortality and 1 in 3 Mexicans suffer from cardiovascular disease according ENSANUT; the above is attributed to the increase of diseases associated with an inflammatory process accelerated as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM). The cholesterol is a major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, and in turn increases the chances of death; however, the treatment of choice is based on changes in lifestyle, which for most people are difficult to maintain long-term. As for the drug therapy treated with drugs many people do not achieve their therapeutic goals, and therefore the inflammatory condition that underlies this disease remains. Recent studies have focused on the possible role of capsaicin in the inflammatory state through the agonistic effect it has on TRPV1. It has demonstrated the antiinflammatory activity of capsaicin to enhance inflammation by free fatty acids (FFA) and reducing the expression of certain genes involved in this process induced. Capsaicin is a natural choice and well tolerated with few side effects limited to the gastrointestinal tract such as dyspepsia and intestinal irregularity, for the above is of interest to evaluate the effect of capsaicin on the profile of inflammatory cytokines in individuals with dyslipidemia.

Results after interventions on lifestyle in the secondary prevention of ischemic heart disease are not always consistent, and the Guidelines multidisciplinary measures aren't easily achievable. Therefore, the purpose of this research project is the identification of an interventional approach to effective secondary prevention and realistic feasibility, in a field of multifactorial risk. The study is open to patients who totaled a double chronic disease, obesity/overweight and coronary heart disease, and who experienced a first event of ischemic cardiac infarction (AMI). The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a group educational intervention in a sample of overweight and obese patients (BMI > 24.9) incurred in a first episode of acute myocardial infarction (non-STEMI and STEMI), comparing with the classic approach of prescriptive diet therapy.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the impact of concurrent high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and whole-body electromyostimulation exercise (WB-EMS) or low-volume conventional strength training (CST) on the cardiometabolic risk profile, overall physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength), body composition, inflammatory markers and subjective health outcomes after a 12-week intervention trial in overweight individuals at increased cardiometabolic risk. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the influence of intra-session exercise order on all outcomes.

The prevalence of liver steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and hemosiderosis in overweight and obese US Military dependent pediatric patients using MR Elastography and Quantitative MRI

The study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the BTL-703 device for the non-invasive lipolysis.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in overweight infertile women with PCOs undergoing induction of ovulation.

Worldwide, in terms of attributable deaths, the main intermediate risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases is systemic arterial hypertension, followed by overweight and sustained hyperglycemia. These factors have positively influenced public and private spending on health. The more robust studies showed that age is one of the main determinants of arterial stiffness. However, there is a possibility that other variables, such as elevated glucose levels, obesity, and systemic inflammation itself, as well as insulin resistance are important factors in this scenario. On the other hand, the measurement of the pulse wave velocity is widely acceptable for the evaluation of the arterial stiffness, inferring the cardiovascular risk in different populations. Since arterial stiffness is influenced by hemodynamic forces and inflammatory mediators, which may be related to sodium and glucose balance, it is necessary to evaluate whether a hypocaloric and low glycemic load diet, in a thesis that decreases lipid and inflammatory levels, may have favorable effects on pulse wave velocity in overweight adults.
