Bariatric Surgery and Exercise Interventions: Effects on Muscle
The purpose of this project is to assess the effects of bariatric surgery on muscle structure and function as well as investigating the feasibility of undertaking an exercise intervention post-surgery.
Improving Glycemic Control With Electrical Stimulation in Mexican-Americans
Once written consent is obtained, the participant will be provided with an accelerometer to be worn for 7 days to assess current physical activity levels. Subjects will be provided with a standardized diet (55/15/30% CHO/PRO/FAT) prior to collection of pre-intervention data of insulin sensitivity. Individuals will then participate in an …
The Effect of Exercise in Patients Awaiting Bariatric Surgery
The aim of this project is to understand the impact of a four week preoperative exercise programme on fitness and metabolic rate and weight before surgery. A multi-site randomised trial sponsored by UCL, recruiting patients awaiting bariatric surgery for obesity at University College London Hospital (UCLH), Whittington Health NHS Trust, …
Age and Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is a crucial factor for the development of type 2 diabetes and a major health problem for older adults. It is the principal mechanism by which obesity is considered to increase the risk for type 2 diabetes and is a key feature of the metabolic syndrome. The elevated …
Total Small Bowel Length Measurement Using Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Obese Patients
The aim of the study is to set up and validate a reliable and reproducible automated method using preoperative radiological imaging to measure the TSBL in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric/metabolic surgery.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) for the Treatment of Obesity
The purpose of this study is to evaluate endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) for the treatment of obesity. The ESG procedure is an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved procedure for the treatment of obesity - patients with a body mass index (BMI) 30-50 kg/m2. This procedure is FDA approved; …
Effect of Patient Education on Drinking Behaviour and Oral Hygiene in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
The background for the study is that many bariatric surgery patients struggle with their oral health after bariatric surgery. This is probably related to both physiological changes and changes in eating and drinking patterns. In addition, many have reduced oral health even before surgery, and a significant proportion also have …
RemI for Post-Bariatric Surgery Weight Regain
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of remotely-delivered interventions (utilizing acceptance-based behavioral treatment skills (ABTi)) amongst bariatric surgery populations who are experiencing weight regain postoperatively (> 5% from their lowest postoperative weight and after postoperative Month 6). Investigators aim to evaluate ABTi's efficacy for reversing …
Follow up Study of Varapodio Trial: Effect of Longevity and Fasting Mimicking Diet on Risk Factors Age Correlated and Biomarkers of Aging
A large ongoing randomized, open-label trial aimed at evaluating the effects of two different dietary interventions, FMD and LD, on body composition and cardiovascular (CV) biomarkers in a real word population (NCT05698654) is actually ongoing. This trial started in January 2024 will enrol 501 adult subjects between the ages of …
Effect of Triticum Aestivum on Appetite, Ghrelin, Leptin, Adiponectin Hormonal Axis in Patients With Obesity
Obesity represents one of the major health problems worldwide; it is clear that current approaches to address obesity are largely unsuccessful. The endocrine axis of leptin and ghrelin acts as the critical link between adipose tissue and hypothalamic centers that regulate food intake, satiety, energy expenditure and weight. Despite being …
