The investigators describe a protocol for a randomized controlled trial to find out the effect and safety of electroacupuncture on losing weight in obese patients with prediabetes.
This project proposes to integrate a psychosocial approach into the therapeutic patient education program (TPE) at "La Vie la Santé", an innovative health promotion platform at Poitiers University Hospital. A randomized study will be set up within the active file of patients referred by the specialized obesity center of Poitou-Charentes …
The identification of safe and effective strategies for weight loss and long-term maintenance is critical to reduce the alarming prevalence of obesity worldwide and mitigate obesity-associated health risks. Specifically, Binge Eating (BE) and Food Addiction (FA) behaviors are well known causes of failed weight loss and weight regain. The definitions …
Glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) agonists, such as liraglutide, exenatide, and semaglutide, have been increasingly used as a medication to address the current twin epidemics of diabetes and obesity. Their activities include increasing insulin production by pancreatic beta cells, improving insulin sensitivity in muscles and weight loss. The mechanisms underpinning the …
This 12-months long pilot study will include patients undergoing an endoscopic procedure (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty \[ESG\] or transoral outlet reduction \[TORe\]) as clinically indicated, and subsequent follow up clinic visits for up to one year.
Overweight and obesity are increasingly prevalent worldwide. These bodyweight disorders are closely related to deficiencies in the control of food intake. A potential yet unexplored mechanism to explain the loss of eating control is the interaction between the gut microbiota and the brain. The mechanisms underlying the communication between the …

This study aims to investigate genetic causes of early childhood obesity. The investigators will enroll children and adults with severe early onset obesity (BMI \> 99th percentile) diagnosed prior to 6 years of age. The investigators will ask questions about the health and eating behavior of the participants, and perform …
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that is frequently associated with metabolic features, including obesity. Improvement of metabolic manifestations helps in the control of symptoms, including subfertility. Metformin has been commonly used to decrease insulin resistance and weight in PCOS patients suffering from obesity. Glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) …
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) …
