Study of Safety and Efficacy of a Probiotic and Postbiotic in Overweight Individuals
Investigate the effect of a probiotic (live bacteria) and postbiotic (heat-treated bacteria) strains in overweight individuals.
Endoscopic Treatment of Overweight and Mild Obesity with ORBERA365
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a critical health condition associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Conservative therapies such as dietary restriction, physical exercise, and pharmacological treatments have not prevented the rising incidence of obesity. Bariatric surgery, while effective, is limited to a relatively small proportion of the global obese population …
Single Anastomosis Versus Standard Duodenal Switch
Bilio-Pancreatic diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) is the most effective bariatric procedure in terms of long-term weight loss and remission rate of Type 2 Diabetes. However, its technical difficulty and increased risk of long-term nutritional deficiencies have been a major hindrance to its diffusion. Recently, a " simplified " technique …
Management of Sleeve Gastrectomy Failure Using Single-anastomosis Metabolic Surgery
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most commonly performed weight loss surgery, accounting for 60% of all bariatric operations worldwide. While technically easier with less side-effects and nutritional risks than other operations, SG is also associated with a higher risk of failure (20 to 40%). In such case, the most …
Biobehavioral Reward Responses Associated With Consumption of Nutritionally Diverse Ultra-Processed Foods
The changing food environment, with increasingly abundant ultra-processed food (UPF) options, may directly contribute to rising rates of obesity, though it is unknown which ingredients in UPF elevate their reinforcing nature in a way that may lead to overconsumption. The proposed study is the first to systematically examine differences in …
Effects of Obesity in the Aged
The overall objective of this application is to investigate the effects of obesity on lung function, exercise tolerance, and DOE in older obese adults as compared with older adults without obesity, using a novel probe for mechanically unloading the thorax at rest and during exercise. The investigators will use 1) …
Effect of Nicotinamide Riboside on Ketosis, Fat Oxidation & Metabolic Rate
Background At least 30% of Americans have fatty liver disease. This means that they store too much fat in the liver. At the moment lifestyle changes are the only way to treat this problem. Objective To test how (1) a low-carbohydrate diet and (2) a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) …
Evaluation of Milk Polar Lipids in Dyslipidemic Adults With Abdominal Obesity
The major objective of this project is to examine whether daily consumption of milk polar lipids (MPLs) influences cardiometabolic risk factors.
A Culturally-relevant Micronutrient-dense Plant-rich (mNDPR) Dietary Intervention for Native Americans
The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial with a wait-list control to determine efficacy in reducing risk of obesity and related disease in Native American employees of Twin Arrows Casino. Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or the wait-list control. The experimental group will receive …
Neurofeedback Based on Near-infrared Spectroscopy as a Therapy for Food Addiction in Obese Subjects.
The hypothesis is that the increase in dlPFC brain activity via near-infrared spectroscopy-based Neurofeedback (fNIRS-based NF) training based on near-infrared spectroscopy would allow an improvement of the eating behavior, thus promoting a long-term weight loss in obese subjects. Patients will be trained during a month with 8 NF sessions and …
