Weight Loss Study: Genetics and Response to Naltrexone/Bupropion
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if genetic variations are associated with the amount of weight loss with diet and while taking an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: In Aim One, the investigators propose to rigorously test the hypothesis …
Strategies for Improving Remote-based Weight Loss (PATH Trial)
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the addition of online yoga classes, compared to health and wellness classes, can improve the amount of weight loss produced from an Internet-based weight loss program. All individuals will receive a 12-month, automated Internet-based weight loss program. Following 3 months of …
Outcomes After Weight Loss Surgery in Low-Risk Patients
The purpose of this research is to determine patient-reported outcomes after weight loss surgery, including changes in health, mood, quality of life, health satisfaction, and emotional health, in low-risk patients. Weight loss surgery has been well studied for patients with body mass index (BMI) 35 kg/m^2 or more and those …
Metabolic Adaptations to Weight Loss With and Without Exercise
Study Purpose: The combination of caloric restriction and exercise is the most common first-line treatment for obesity-related disorders, yet we know very little about how these two very different treatments work together. A deeper understanding about mechanisms underlying the health benefits of adding exercise to a weight loss program will …
Modified Intermittent Eating on Weight Loss (INTEREST-3 Trial)
Calorie restriction (CR) is the most important treatment for weighting loss. In recent years, two novel types of intermittent fasting recently have gained more attention: the 5:2 diet and time-restricted eating (TRE). TRE requires individuals to eat in a specified number of hours per day (typically 4 to 10 hours) …
Intervention Study on Weight Loss in Patients With Obesity
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of using Socratic questioning as an alternative method for weight loss in adult patients with obesity (aged 18 to 65) in a primary care setting. The main question it aims to answer is: -Is Socratic questioning an effective alternative …
Adipocyte-Derived Extracellular Vesicles, Weight Loss, and Endothelial Function
Changes in adipose tissue biology are now recognized as a key factor underlying the increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease with obesity. Clinical interest in adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (Ad-EVs) has intensified due to their potential as circulating biomarkers of adipose tissue health and systemic messengers, regulators and mediators of …
Semaglutide's Efficacy in Achieving Weight Loss for Those With HIV
The prevalence of obesity is rising worldwide, both in low- and high-income countries, including people with HIV (PWH). Semaglutide's efficacy in achieving weight loss in obese PWH is still unexplored. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in achieving greater weight loss compared …
LOSE-AF: Can Weight Loss Help Patients With Atrial Fibrillation?
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects over 1 million individuals in the UK and results in costs of over £450 million per year to the National Health Service (NHS). Current rhythm control strategies are limited by high recurrences of AF. New strategies tackling more upstream pathophysiological mechanisms are most needed. The …
Long-term, Substantial Weight Loss and Insulin Regulation of Lipolysis
It is not known how much improvement in insulin regulated lipolysis (the breakdown of triglycerides) occurs following substantial, sustained weight loss. Researchers will test the effects of inflammation and lipolysis regulation in people before and after bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) to answer these questions.
