Metabolic Effects of Linoleic Acid-Rich Oil Compared to a Blend Oil in Adults With Insulin Resistance
Linoleic acid (LA), the predominant omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid in human diets, has been associated with improved lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity compared with saturated fats. However, its role in metabolic health remains debated due to the limited number of well-controlled intervention studies. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate …
Interactive Roles of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Adiposity on Glucose and Vascular Control After Physical Inactivity
The far-reaching negative health effects of the reduced physical activity (RPA) epidemic are often overlooked by the general population and health professionals. Short-term RPA induces cardiometabolic dysfunction, including impaired glucose control and vascular function, that may precede disease development. The impact of existing health status on RPA-induced cardiometabolic dysfunction and …
Improving Coronary Vascular Health in Women
Women with HIV have an increased risk of having a myocardial infarction (heart attack) as compared to women without HIV. One of the mechanisms underlying the increased risk of myocardial infarction among women with HIV may involve reduced ability to increase blood flow through large and small coronary arteries at …
Gut Microbiota-dependent Health Impacts of Haskap Berries
Polyphenol-rich Haskap berries (Haskap) have untapped therapeutic potential to improve human health, and agricultural producers in northern U.S. states are poised to increase production if consumer demand increases. A critical knowledge gap is that little is known about the interactions between gut microbes and Haskap polyphenols to produce bioactive metabolites …
Family Patterns in Resting Metabolic Rate Between Parents and Adult Children
This study examines whether resting metabolic rate (RMR)-the amount of energy the body uses at rest-is similar between biological parents and their adult children (aged 18 years and older). RMR is the largest component of daily energy expenditure and plays an important role in body weight regulation and overall metabolic …
Insomnia´s Impact on DNA Stability, Cardio-metabolic Health and Lifestyle Behaviors
Insomnia is a highly prevalent sleep disorder worldwide, with an increasing incidence in athletes, older adults, university students, and individuals with metabolic syndrome. This disorder has been associated with metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, and genetic instability. Recent evidence suggests that insomnia negatively impacts cardiorespiratory fitness, insulin sensitivity, and overall health …
Campath/Fludarabine/Melphalan Transplant Conditioning for Non-Malignant Diseases
The hypothesis for this study is that a preparative regimen that maximizes host immunosuppression without myeloablation will be well tolerated and sufficient for engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells. It is also to determine major toxicities from these conditioning regimens, within the first 100 days after transplantation.
Metabolic Effects of Bariatric Arterial Embolization vs Bariatric Surgery
Obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) are two of the most common chronic diseases of the Western society. Obesity is one critical factor in DMT2 development, with weight loss having profound beneficial effects on DMT2 and improving the metabolic pathophysiology leading to hyperglycemia. Observational studies reported that surgical intervention …
Impact of Circulating and Tissue-specific Lipids on Vascular Function and Insulin Sensitivity in Chronic Night Shift Workers
People who experience repeated bouts of circadian misalignment, such as shift workers, are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to daytime workers. However, the mechanism(s) by which shift work and associated circadian misalignment increase CVD and T2D risk are unknown. This project will …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Glycemic cHAracterization During Pregnancy
Our study named Integrated Continuous glucose monitoring glycemic cHAracterization during Pregnancy in comparison with oral glucose tolerance test (I-CHAP) aims to establish much needed preliminary evidence in our Asian population to show the capabilities of CGM use and its wealth of data for GDM diagnosis. This study aims to test …
