Exercise to Fight Obesity
This clinical trial aims to determinate whether a structured exercise program, supported by telerehabilitation, can help individuals with severe obesity who are going to undergo bariatric surgery. The main objective of this study is whether a structured exercise program, including both supervised and home-based workouts, leads to greater body fat …
Metabolic and Bio-behavioral Effects of Following Recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
This study, at the Western Human Nutrition Research Center (WHNRC), will focus on whether or not achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight is the most important health promoting recommendation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA).The investigators hypothesize that improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors resulting from eating a DGA …
A Study of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty for Obesity in Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) for weight loss in a population of obese ulcerative colitis (UC) patients undergoing colectomy with eventual Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IPAA) compared to counseling on diet and lifestyle interventions alone.
Phase 1/1b Study of TLC-6740 in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Obesity
The phase 1 portion of the study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TLC-6740 after single- and multiple-ascending doses in healthy subjects. The phase 1b portion of the study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of TLC-6740 in subjects with …
A Novel Obesity Prevention Program for High-Risk Infants in Primary Care
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a responsive parenting obesity prevention program with infants and caregivers of color (e.g., non-White; Hispanic/Latinx) and/or who are economically marginalized (i.e., publicly insured), delivered via Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) in pediatric primary care. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
Transpulmonary Pressure Guided Mechanical Ventilation Weaning in Obesity
This study will look at whether accounting for the amount of pressure generated by the chest wall and abdomen in a obese patient, using a measurement called transpulmonary pressure, can help shorten the amount of time patients spend on the ventilator. By decreasing the amount of time patients spend on …
Pharmacologic Weight Loss as Adjunct Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis in Obese Patients
Approximately 20-40% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are obese. The investigators have demonstrated that obesity adversely impacts disease course in patients with UC, leading to higher risk of persistently active disease, surgery, hospitalization, and treatment failure, particularly in biologic-treated patients. Intentional weight loss is effective in improving disease outcomes …
Exercise Training on Brain Insulin Responsiveness
The overarching goal of the current study is to investigate the effect of one acute bout of exercise on the brain insulin responsiveness in a cross-over study design. To this end, investigators will compare the effect of two single endurance exercise sessions with different intensities, namely moderate intensity continuous training …
The Effect of Different Diets on Arterial Stiffness in Obese Patients on Liraglutide
In patients initiating Liraglutide for weight management, the objective is to compare the effect of Med diet, high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) diet and low fat (LF) control diet on CV parameters, namely arterial stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and visceral adipose tissue, in addition to other metabolic …
Pilot Project on Interdisciplinary Therapy of Obesity
Obese individuals that undergo major intervention such as a low-calorie formula diet program or bariatric surgery with the result of substantial weight loss (> 10%) are included and followed-up for at least 3 years. Weight changes and excess weight loss as well as measures of quality of life are monitored. …
