Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally. While weight loss through lifestyle modification is the standard treatment, most patients regain weight limiting ultimate improvement in liver disease. On the other end of the spectrum, bariatric surgery has shown promise in the treatment of …
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) account for more deaths globally than any other condition. In 2018, the WHO reported that NCDs accounted for 71% of global deaths. They also showed that low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected by NCDs, accounting for …
This is a clinical study with participants over 18 years of age that meet the selection criteria. This will be 42-day study divided into three phases of 14 days each: 14 days without intervention, 14 days with intervention with functional foods and 14 days without intervention again. With the objective …
This study looks at how lipoproteins, which are particles in the blood that transport cholesterol, influence heart and blood vessel health. Beyond just their levels, the way these particles function plays a key role in preventing or contributing to disease. In some conditions, like high cholesterol or diabetes, lipoproteins may …
The main aim of this study is to assess the effect of a chewing gum containing galactooligosaccharides (GOS) on the body mass index (BMI), the metabolism and the oral and intestinal microbiomes in a population of overweight adults.
The goal is to develop methodology to monitor flux in the citric acid cycle in brain via 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at 7 Tesla.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects the ability of the body to process glucose (sugar). Under fasting conditions, the liver is able to make sugar to maintain glucose levels in an important process called endogenous glucose production (EGP). Previous studies suggest that the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain, helps …
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether warming patients before surgery, called "prewarming," affects blood lactate levels (a marker of how well tissues are getting oxygen) and recovery in adults having planned (elective) kidney removal surgery (nephrectomy). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does …
The circadian regulation in mammals have been known for a long time. A special group of clock genes, organized in feedback loops, are responsible for the circadian regulation in both the SCN and peripheral organs. The central clock is mainly entrained by the light-dark cycle, while the peripheral ones in …
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple human placental membrane products and Standard of Care (SOC) versus SOC alone in the management of nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs) over 12 weeks using a modified platform trial design.
