Photoacoustic/Ultrasound Imaging of Brown Adipose Tissue Activity
The goal of this study is to develop a novel, non-invasive, real-time photoacoustic imaging (PAI) technology for quantifying brown adipose tissue (BAT) and to investigate the differences in BAT morphology and metabolic function between healthy individuals and patients with metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can …
Animal and Plant Proteins and Glucose Metabolism
The goal of this proposal is to determine the effect of a high protein diet in which the increase in protein intake is derived from different sources (animal vs plant and protein-rich whole foods vs protein isolates) on: i) liver and muscle insulin sensitivity; ii) the metabolic response to a …
Impact of Supplemental Fiber on Gut and Vascular Health Related in Obesity Phenotypes
Based on prior research, the investigators are interested in whether an intervention targeting gut health (supplemental fiber for 9 weeks total) will improve vascular health in individuals with obesity. Additionally, the investigators are interested in if this response differs based on whether individuals with obesity have very few heart disease …
Nursing Intervention in Weight and Metabolic Syndrome Management in First-episode Psychosis (MetaKOP)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a nursing intervention based on the carbohydrate-insulin model can effectively reduce weight and manage the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in individuals with first-episode psychosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the intervention lead to a clinically …
Velocity-Based Resistance Training in Kidney Transplant Recipients
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of velocity-based resistance training on renal function and metabolic health in kidney transplant recipients. Participants will be randomized into two groups performing resistance training at different execution velocities (maximal intended vs. submaximal controlled). The intervention will last 12 weeks and include …
Multi-organ Responses to CHronic Physical Activity and INactivity
Life expectancy has been increasing for the last 150 years, but the maintenance of health has not kept pace with increased lifespan, and on average, UK adults spend the last decade of life in poor-health, with major consequences for society and the individual. Persistent physical inactivity is thought to be …
Our Voices Matter: Intervention for Depression in Youth
Over 15 million people participated in racial justice protests nationwide during 2020-2021 spotlighting activism as a collective tool against structural racism and discrimination (SRD). SRD manifests as policies and practices (e.g., redlining, voter suppression, mass incarceration) that produce hostile environments that contribute to psychological distress, elevated allostatic load, and an …
Effects of Nattokinase on Cardiovascular Risk, Gut Microbiota, Sleep, and Cognition in Metabolic Syndrome With Sleep Disorders.
Nattokinase has been confirmed by many experiments to have a thrombolytic effect, but there are currently very few studies on nattokinase's effect on gut microbiota, sleeping status, and age-related cognitive function. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of nattokinase on cardiovascular disease risk factors, intestinal microbiota, sleep status …
The Mom and Infant Outcomes (MOMI) Study
The investigator's long-term goal is to mitigate pregnancy-related mortality (PRM) risk by systematically delivering integrated clinical and supportive care that is effective, equitable, and scalable. The investigator's central hypothesis is that the Multi-modal Maternal Infant Perinatal Outpatient Delivery System (MOMI PODS) will mitigate postpartum (PP) risk and reduce disparities in …
Evaluation of the Severity of Hepatic Fibrosis by Magnetic Resonance Elastography in the Diagnosis of Endogenous Hypercorticism
The main hypothesis of the HEPACORT study is that upon diagnosis of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, significant liver fibrosis may be present, particularly in the most severe forms of Cushing's syndrome. the HEPACORT study is the first exploratory study to assess the severity of liver fibrosis in patients with Cushing's syndrome …
