Predictors of Behavioral Obesity Treatment Outcomes
Socioceconomically disadvantaged individuals typically have poor outcomes in behavioral weight loss interventions, but the reasons for this are unknown. This project will characterize the mechanisms through which adverse daily experiences and present bias -- a cognitive adaptation to harsh and unpredictable environments -- account for disparities in weight loss outcomes.
Tailoring Mobile Health Technology to Reduce Obesity and Improve Cardiovascular Health in Resource-Limited Neighborhood Environments
Background Heart disease is a leading cause of death. People can reduce their heart disease risk by exercising more. Mobile health technology may make people more successful at increasing their exercise. This includes things like physical activity monitors and smartphone apps. Objective To find out if mobile health technology can …
PReoperative Very Low Energy Diets for Obese PAtients Undergoing Non-bariatric Surgery
The PREPARE Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a multi-center, parallel, blinded RCT that aims to assess the feasibility of a full RCT comparing preoperative very low energy diets (VLEDs) to standard of care prior to elective non-bariatric surgery for obese patients in terms of overall 30-day postoperative morbidity. Adult …
The Impact of Sleep Restriction on Gastric Emptying, Appetite and Energy Intake
This study aims to examine if partial sleep deprivation results in alterations blood markers and subjective markers of homeostatic, and hedonic appetite, as well as provide initial data as to the impact of sleep restriction on gastric emptying.
Family Functioning in Obesity Treatment for Mexican Americans
Mexican American families share similar elevated risks for obesity and obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. Because negative family interactions and relationships (e.g., poor communication, high conflict, low emotional closeness) are associated with obesity treatment outcomes, this study tests a behavioral weight management intervention that provides relationship skills counseling …
Insulin Regulation of Lipolysis and Lipolysis Proteins
These studies will define the abnormalities in the adipocyte proteins that are involved in the failure of insulin to suppress lipolysis normally in humans with upper body obesity and will help discover the mechanism by which pioglitazone, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and improve insulin resistance, improves …
Intragastric Balloon in Obese Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma
The aim of this project is to study the effect of an intragastric balloon (IGB) on asthma control in obese patients. Obese patients with uncontrolled asthma will be recruited and randomly assigned to two intervention arms : an intragastric balloon combined with diet and exercise versus diet and exercise alone …
Investigating Whether Acute Elevation of Fatty Acid Levels Alters Cerebral Glucose Transport and Metabolism
The goal of this study is to understand the role of brain glucose transport in individuals with obesity and the association with cerebral hypometabolism and these individuals' response to plasma glucose elevations. The main premise is that obesity leads to reduced brain glucose transport and that we can measure this …
Full-fat Dairy Products, Body Weight Control and Metabolic Health
The aim of this research is to clarify the role of different dairy products including both full-fat and low-fat dairy in maintaining health in adults and children through its effects beyond their well-known contribution of healthy nutrients. The deleterious health consequences of obesity are recognized as a major financial burden …
Circadian Misalignment and Energy Balance
Preliminary findings from the investigators' lab suggest that circadian misalignment, occurring when meals and sleep are mistimed from one another, alters resting state neuronal processing in areas relevant to food reward and interoception; supporting a role of sleep and meal misalignment, on energy balance regulation. No study has been done …
