Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study evaluates the efficacy of a multidisciplinary intervention (diet, exercise, motivational support and homeopathy or placebo) for overweight and obesity in Mexican adolescents. Half of study participants will receive the multidisciplinary intervention plus Calcarea carbonica ostrearum, a homeopathic medicine, while the other half will receive the same multidisciplinary intervention plus placebo.

The main study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of IQP-AE-103 in reducing body weight in overweight and moderately obese subjects, in the context of an energy restricted diet. Further objectives are to evaluate the beneficial potential of IQP-AE-103 on waist circumference, blood pressure and blood glucose and lipid levels, quality of life, as well as its safety and tolerability

This study aims to assess the effect of stevia extract on postprandial glucose and insulin levels in overweight and obese adults when compared to sugar and water.

Obesity levels worldwide have tripled since the mid 1070's. Obesity and its co-morbidities, metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, are serious widespread health concerns which urgently need to be addressed. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a), are well known for their key role in the homeostatic control of food intake and energy balance. Ghrelin is the major hunger hormone in the body and ghrelin-receptor antagonists have been advanced as potential anti-obesity agents. This receptor is therefore an ideal target for orally delivered probiotic-derived bioactives with excellent bioavailability. Bacterial strains with the ability to modulate these receptors may have high potential as probiotics with the ability to induce appetite modulation effects. Due to promising pre-clinical results, the investigators aim to trial a Bif Longum probiotic, which can target these receptors, in an obese human population. We hypothesise that the probiotic will positively alter the gut-brain axis, improving control of hunger and satiety signalling adults with high BMI, leading to decreased BMI and waist-hip ratio scores. Furthermore, the investigators expect that the mechanism through which the probiotic is having a positive impact can be determined via investigation of the microbiota composition, gut hormone levels and circulating immune profiles.

This study assesses whether oral supplementation with vitamin D contributes to the reduction of body mass index and lipid profile in adolescents and young adults. The intervention group will receive 1000 IU of vitamin D (DV) and the control group 200 IU of DV.

This project offers the opportunity to obtain detailed measurements on the health of body composition, metabolic health, and intestinal microbial diversity in overweight adults; moreover to provide information about the effects of physical exercise on them. The aim of the research is to advance in the understanding of the mechanisms induced by physical exercise, which includes the measurement of nutritional parameters, clinical and biochemical biomarkers of hepatic/cardiometabolic health, as well as the application of differential proteomics technologies by means of Arrays of cytokines and intestinal microbiome, making this study a novel and pioneer in sensitive areas of primary health care in Latin America.

We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 28-week trial. 300 non-diabetic obese subjects or overweight subjects with co-morbidities were randomly assigned. Eligible participants were randomized 2:1 to once-daily subcutaneous injections of either liraglutide or placebo. The primary outcome is to investigate the safety, tolerability from baseline to end of treatment.

The global older adult population has grown more than any other age group, which could be explained by the decrease of birth rate and increase of life expectancy. The healthy life expectancy of older adult in Mexico is 65.8 years, and the population's life expectancy in general is 74.4 years, this means that the population meeting that age is at increased risk of developing some disease or dependence during approximately nine years of their life. For the population over 60 years, the three most frequent health conditions reported were hypertension (40%), diabetes (24.3%), and hypercholesterolemia (20.4%). In this sense, the search for a healthy lifestyle is necessary, which includes a healthy diet that includes supplementation with nutraceuticals and the daily practice of physical activity. Regarding nutraceutical supplementation, the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima (S. maxima) is an important source of proteins, carotenoids, phenolic compounds and polyunsaturated fatty acids which have been tested for diverse biological activities such as lipid lowering effects, however, existing studies of effects of S. maxima on body composition, physical function and blood lipid profile in humans, mainly in older adults, have a low level of evidence and absence of adequate experimental designs, so its value as a nutraceutical cannot be assured. The effects of performing systematic physical exercise in older adults have been shown to have positive effects on body composition and blood lipid profile, so in the present study it is proposed to evaluate the synergy presented by a supplement such as S. maxima in a systematic physical exercise program on the body composition, physical function and blood lipid profile of sedentary older adults with excess weight in a randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo controlled trial.

It is an open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial, which is designed to enroll people with different glucose metabolism status who are also overweight or obese, including people with normal glucose metabolism, pre-diabetes patients and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. The patients are randomized to an enhanced physical activity intervention (high-intensity interval training exercise prescription combined with resistance training) or standard education group (diabetes health education only, including lifestyle education and guidance) for 12 weeks. This trial intends to compare the influence of enhanced physical activity treatment with that of a standard education on liver steatosis, serum glucose and lipids level, insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular metabolic parameters, metabolic molecules, and gut microbiota profile et al.

To examine the effect of using Lumen on metabolic parameters and anthropometric variables. This will be done from baseline to the end of a 12 weeks intervention in adults with prediabetes..
