Reversal of Lipid-Induced Insulin Resistance
The purpose of this study is to examine whether weight reduction decreases intramyocellular (IMCL) and hepatic lipid content, and improves insulin sensitivity of muscle and fat tissue in people who are insulin resistant and have a family history of type 2 diabetes. Hepatic mitochondrial oxidation will be assesses using a …
Evaluation of Gut Permeability in Patients Affected by Obesity and NAFLD: Influence of Ketogenic Diet.
This study is open label, with one arm only. In this study will be enrolled patients with obesity (BMI more than 30). Aim of the study is to determine the influence (if any) of a very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on gut permeability and liver steatosis. The first objective …
Effects of Two Different Exercise Programs and Diet in Obese Subjects With NAFLD
The aim of the study is to estimate the effectiveness of two different exercise programs combined with the Mediterranean diet versus diet alone on inflammatory status in subjects aged 18-65 years with obesity (BMI\>30) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) (CAP \>248 dB/m).
Vigorous- Versus Moderate-intensity Exercise to Reduce Liver Fat in Adults With Obesity and NAFLD
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) arising from obesity has become a global health concern. Although exercise is a cornerstone approach for managing NAFLD, detailed exercise prescription guidelines are unavailable. According to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, 1 minute of vigorous-intensity physical activity can achieve equivalent health benefits to 2 minutes …
Quantitative Ultrasound Techniques for Diagnosis of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common liver disease in Western countries, due in large part to its association with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The more advanced form of this disease is known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). If left untreated, NASH can evolve to cirrhosis, the late stage …
Cardiac Involvement in Wilson's Disease
Heart damage by copper accumulation has been reported in Wilson's Disease. However, the disease epidemiology is still poorly understood. A number of studies on pediatric populations have not shown any significant cardiac involvement apart from early dysautonomia. This could suggest that the clinical manifestations related to the copper accumulation in …
Oral Health and Wilson's Disease: SOMAWI
Patients with Wilson disease have poorer dental and periodontal health and a have lower oral quality of life than control patients. Patients with a neurological form would also more frequently present limitations in the function of the masticatory apparatus. Systemic treatments for Wilson disease are associated with lesions of the …
Natural History of Wilson Disease
The purpose of the registry/repository is to provide a mechanism to store data and specimens to support the conduct of future research about Wilson disease (WD). The overall aim is to determine the optimal testing for diagnosis and parameters for monitoring treatment of WD that will aid product utilization and …
Description of the Copper Concentration in Breast Milk in Women Treated for Wilson's Disease
Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disease, affecting less than 1,500 people in France. The transmission is autosomal recessive linked to an anomaly of the ATP7B gene on chromosome.This gene codes for an ATPase-type transmembrane protein involved in the transport of copper through the cell plasma member.This gene codes for …
The Role of Sugars in Fat Accumulation in the Liver
This interventional study has 2 parts. In the part A of the project, we will determine how the acute changes in hepatic fat content (HFC) after high-fat load (150 g of fat) are affected by co-administration with three doses of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. HFC in non-obese and obese male …
