Effect of Insulin Lowering on Lipogenesis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a one-week course of diazoxide (2 mg/kg per dose x 14 doses) and placebo in people with obesity and insulin resistance (IR) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The main question it aims to answer are how mitigation of compensatory …
In-Person Lifestyle Program for Black Adolescent Girls at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
The aim of this study is to look at changes in diabetes-related risk factors in Black adolescent girls who are at risk for type 2 diabetes and their primary female caregiver after both participating in a 12-week in-person lifestyle program.
Understanding the Health Effect of a Bioactive Peptide From Egg: A Pilot Study
Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins show potential for improving human health. One of such promising peptides is namely IRW made from egg white hydrolysate and composed of three peptides. This is a feasibility study to assess the acute effect of IRW in egg white hydrolysate for the management of …
Early Life Feeding Exposure and Infant Immune and Health Status.
Background: Although breastfeeding has known protective effects, such as preventing childhood obesity, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Idaho has a high breastfeeding initiation rate (92%) but a significant prevalence of childhood obesity (30.5% overweight/obese). Limited research exists on the impact of maternal inflammation, maternal body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein …
Role of Microvascular Insulin Resistance and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Diabetes
The goal of this two-site grant proposal is to determine the role of the decreased insulin-mediated muscle perfusion found in type 2 diabetes in contributing to the development of cardiac and skeletal muscle dysfunction and subsequent functional exercise impairment. In addition, it is also our goal to determine whether exercise …
A Randomised, Controlled Trial of a Low-energy Diet for Improving Functional Status in Heart Failure With PRESERVED Ejection Fraction Preserved Ejection Fraction
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common and serious complication of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). HFpEF occurs when the heart muscle unable to relax efficiently to pump the blood around the body. This leads to fluid build-up, breathlessness and inability to tolerate physical exertion. People …
Understanding Metabolism and Inflammation Risks for Diabetes in Adolescents
This research study collects health-related information and blood samples to better understand how body composition, lifestyle habits, and diet influence meta-inflammatory monocytes (MiMos) in adolescents. The hypothesis of this study is that adolescents at risk for metabolic disease have enhanced MiMo related activities leading to insulin resistance.
Clinical Management of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adult Patients: A Before-and-After Interventional Study
This study aims to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes in adult patients attending an outpatient cardiology clinic. The research focuses on identifying predictors of adverse cardiovascular events, optimizing risk stratification, and improving preventive strategies in routine clinical practice. Data will be collected from patients receiving standard cardiology …
A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis of Postoperative Respiratory Complications in Children With Obstructive Sleepapnea
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate postoperative respiratory complications (PORC) after (adeno)tonsillectomy in children with OSA. In order to increase the number of patients available for analysis, we will merge data collected at UZA with data collected at the the Department of Sleep Laboratory and Sleep Surgery at the …
Detecting Systemic Carbon Dioxide Levels With a Novel Biosensor
The study is an open, prospective, single center clinical observational pilot investigation. The aim is to compare the carbon dioxide values measured by the IscAlert sensor, which is inserted in proximity to the nasal mucosa. The study wants to investigate if the nasal mucosa application and measurements are feasible, what …
