Atheroma Reduction With Chloroquine in Patients With the Metabolic Syndrome (ARCH-MS)
Metabolic Syndrome XOverweight3 moreMetabolic syndrome consists of a group of co-occuring conditions that increase an individual's risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of chloroquine, a protein-activation medication, at reducing the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with the metabolic syndrome. Sub-study: Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and Cardiometabolic Risk, The purpose is to determine if the association of VEGF with atherosclerosis indicates that it should be a marker of the disorder.
Effects of Lean Pork Loin Intake on Protein Homeostasis and Glucose Regulation in Prediabetic Adults...
Pre DiabetesWe will be directly comparing a high-quality protein diet composed primarily of lean pork loin (PORK) to a lower-quality plant-based protein diet (PLANT) in individuals with prediabetes on muscle and whole-body protein turnover and glucose regulation.
Glucose Homeostasis and Apple Polyphenols
PreDiabetesImpaired Glucose Tolerance1 moreThe primary objective is to investigate the effect of apple polyphenol supplementation for 12 weeks on glucose homeostasis in prediabetic individuals. Further, this study has three secondary objectives: 1) to investigate whether daily supplementation at breakfast and dinner with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks affects the rhythm of glucose uptake over the day and reduces fasting glucose levels and postprandial glucose peaks; 2) to determine the effect of daily supplementation with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks on biomarkers of metabolic health; 3) to assess whether daily supplementation with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks alters fecal SCFA concentrations and fecal microbiota composition.
Comparison of Cognitive and Motor Dual Task Performance in Individuals With Prediabetes and Diabetes...
Diabetes MellitusThe aim of this study is to compare the dual task task in individuals with prediabetes and diabetes. According to the results of this study, if there is a difference in dual-task performances and other conditions between people with prediabetes and people with diabetes, it will be a reference study for intervention studies accordingly.
Effects of Whey Protein Pre-meals on Post-prandial Glucose
Prediabetic StateThe aim of this project was to determine if an administration of either 10 g of whey protein isolate or 10 g of whey protein microgels 30 or 10 min before a standard meal could reduce postprandial glucose response in obese subjects.
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Chronic Periodontitis and Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusPrediabetic State1 moreWith this design, this study hypothesizes that; (i) ICG-PDT would produce superior clinical, microbiological, and immune-inflammatory outcomes as compared to RSD and (ii) ICG-PDT would produce equal efficacy among different forms of diabetes as produced in non-diabetic subjects and that diabetes mellitus would not produce negative impact on the therapeutic outcomes of ICG-PDT. Therefore, the aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of ICG-mediated aPDT in the treatment of stage III grade C periodontitis among patients with prediabetes, T2DM and non-diabetic subjects.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) With a Low Carbohydrate Diet to Reduce Weight in Patients With...
Pre-diabetesThis study will recruit pre-diabetic patients to see if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with a low carbohydrate diet can reduce the percentage of time the CGM readings are above the normal range. Through this study it will demonstrate the feasibility of using CGM with a low carbohydrate diet to reduce weight and risk of developing diabetes in patients with pre-diabetes. Patients that appear to be eligible will be recruited from Michigan Medicine in the Family Medicine Clinic at the Livonia Center.
STAR Study Investigating Performance and Safety of the Medical Device SiPore15™
PreDiabetesPre Diabetes5 moreThe primary objective of STAR01 is to evaluate the performance and safety of the medical device (class IIb) SiPore15™ after a 12-week long treatment in the target population of obese and overweight subjects with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The expected performance and safety of the device is based on the safety and efficacy results seen in an earlier First-in-Man (FIM) study. The safety and tolerability of SiPore15™ is based on the well-established and extensive use of food grade silicon dioxide and favorable data from the FIM study. Data on side-effects will be collected for verification of device safety. The study duration is 24 weeks in total, 12 weeks from baseline on investigational medicinal device (IMD) treatment, with additional 12 weeks off treatment. The study population is planned for forty (40) subjects to be enrolled, male and females, age >18 years and fulfilling all inclusion criteria but none of the exclusion criteria.
Therapeutic Intervention of Eriocitrin in the Reduction of Hyperglycemia in Pre-diabetic Individuals...
Pre DiabetesSupplementation with citrus bioflavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, diosmin and eriocitrin, among others) has been associated with an improvement in the glycidic and lipid profile, reduction of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, and reduction of endothelial damage. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eriocitrin supplementation on the metabolic parameters of pre-diabetic individuals. Participants will be adults with pre-diabetes who will receive 200 mg / d of eriocitrin. Before, during and after treatment, anthropometric measures (weight, body composition and circumferences), biochemical (lipid and glucose profile, inflammatory parameters, endothelial markers, liver function, renal function) will be evaluated. Metabolic parameters that constitute risk factors for diabetes and associated chronic diseases are expected to be improved by supplementation with eriocitrin.
Effect of Rubus Occidentalis Extract on Plasma Glucose Levels in Subject With Prediabetes
Prediabetes (Impaired Fasting Glucose and/or Impaired Glucose Tolerance)The purpose of this study is to determine whether Rubus occidentalis extract could improve fasting or postprandial serum glucose levels, and related metabolic markers among patients with prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance).
