The Developmental Origins of Obesity
Pregestational obesity (PGO, BMI ≥30) is a significant independent risk factor for the development of obesity in childhood and adolescence. Notably, elevated levels of IL-6 and leptin have been found in the cord blood of offspring born to women with PGO, along with increased body fat. Both our research and …
Insulin Regulation of Lipolysis and Lipolysis Proteins
These studies will define the abnormalities in the adipocyte proteins that are involved in the failure of insulin to suppress lipolysis normally in humans with upper body obesity and will help discover the mechanism by which pioglitazone, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and improve insulin resistance, improves …
Mother-Baby Study - Observational
The rate of weight gain in the first year of life is risk factor for future obesity. The study will test (1) a model of l mechanisms underlying the development of emotion, attachment, and nutritive intake; and (2) the association with maternal feeding behavior, child eating behavior, dietary intake, and …
Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatment After Bariatric Surgery
This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral and pharmacologic treatment, alone and combined, for improvements in weight loss, cardiovascular risk factors, and psychosocial functioning following metabolic and bariatric surgery.
ADAPT Study: Assessing Diet, Appetite and Physiology Throughout Weight Loss Study)
Behavioral weight loss programs for obesity can result in weight loss and health benefits. However, behavioral weight loss often stops despite efforts to continue losing weight, this can be called an involuntarily weight loss plateau. This study investigates changes in metabolism and/or the brain that contribute to the occurrence of …
Intragastric Balloon in Obese Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma
The aim of this project is to study the effect of an intragastric balloon (IGB) on asthma control in obese patients. Obese patients with uncontrolled asthma will be recruited and randomly assigned to two intervention arms : an intragastric balloon combined with diet and exercise versus diet and exercise alone …
Investigating Whether Acute Elevation of Fatty Acid Levels Alters Cerebral Glucose Transport and Metabolism
The goal of this study is to understand the role of brain glucose transport in individuals with obesity and the association with cerebral hypometabolism and these individuals' response to plasma glucose elevations. The main premise is that obesity leads to reduced brain glucose transport and that we can measure this …
Effect of Exercise Training on Breastmilk Composition
The aim of this trial is to investigate whether regular endurance exercise during the lactation period will influence breastmilk composition among individuals with overweight/obesity, and secondarily to assess if such changes impact the growth and health of the infants.
tDCS With Cognitive Training to Reduce Impulsivity and Weight in Veterans With Obesity
The purpose of this study is to investigate if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the effectiveness of cognitive training to reduce impulsivity in individuals with obesity, and to evaluate weight change with these individuals. The long-term goal of this research is to develop new treatment approaches for individuals …
Dynamo: a Tailored Lifestyle Promotion Intervention Among Pediatric Patients With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
The Dyn@mo lifestyle intervention (CHU Sainte-Justine, Quebec, Canada) targets children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years old with cardiometabolic risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, disorders in glucose regulation or dyslipidemia. Its primary goal is to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time to improve childrens' cardiometabolic profile. To …
