NCT03437798
Despite significant improvement in treating periodontal disease (PD) and the identification of multiple risk factors, little is known about the specific contribution of genetics to PD pathogenesis. Several genomewide association studies (GWAS) of PD have been published, but only one reported locus has reached the threshold for genome-wide significance. Epidemiological studies and biological experiments established associations and suggested common pathogenetic pathways between PD and cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes (DM), and osteoporosis. The overall objective is to identify genetic loci for PD as a first step toward a better understanding of PD pathogenesis. In a preliminary study in the Women's Genome Health Study (WGHS), new-onset cases of PD were associated with a family history of myocardial infarction (MI). Further preliminary analyses presented shared phenotypic variation of PD/CVD, PD/DM, or PD/osteoporosis that could be accounted by the whole-genome genetic matrices. Several variants from the GWAS catalog of bone density and family history of MI were found correlated with PD in the WGHS. Based on these findings and the literature, the central hypothesis is that there are common pathogenetic links between PD and these other diseases and that GWAS using the comorbidity case definitions will help identify potential common loci.

A two-period randomized crossover study will be conducted to determine the effect of almond butter as an evening snack on fasting blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes, not taking insulin.
NCT06317142
The goal of this observational study is to investigate changes in nocturnal and postprandial glucose and glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance compared to healthy, non-diabetic, overweight participants (15 per group). In addition, it will be investigated if reducing gluconeogenesis, by using the challenge agent Acipimox, in people with prediabetes can increase glucose tolerance and fat oxidation by increased reliance on hepatic glycogen. The main questions this project aims to answer are: * whether there are differences in nocturnal glucose/glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance and healthy overweight controls. * whether there are differences in postprandial glucose/glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance and healthy overweight controls. Participants will visit the university for a screening visit and a visit with overnight stay for measurements of gluconeogenesis, glycogen, and substrate oxidation. A subgroup will receive \[18F\]-FDG to assess tissue-specific postprandial glucose uptake. Thereafter, 20 prediabetic individuals will follow a 4-day treatment with acipimox to decrease gluconeogenesis, followed by a second overnight visit with similar measurements as mentioned for the first visit.
