Surgical Removal of Visceral Fat Tissue (Omentectomy) Associated to Bariatric Surgery: Effects on Insulin Sensitivity

NCT00545805

The intraabdominal fat is associated with insulin resistance, a condition that is in the basis of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and some cardiovascular diseases. It is not clear whether it is the origin of it or a surrogate marker only. We intend to compare the effects of bariatric surgery with versus without omentectomy in morbidly obese people intended to go through bariatric surgery, accessing insulin sensitivity by metabolic tests. If the visceral fat is causative of insulin resistance, its surgical removal (omentectomy) might lead to improvement of insulin action, as seen in animal studies and in one study with morbidly obese human volunteers.

Glucose, Whey Protein and Time to the Next Meal on Mealtime Food Intake in Children

NCT01272427

The investigators hypothesize that glucose and whey protein given 30 and 60 min before a pizza meal will exert different effects on food intake in adolescent children, and will depend on pubertal stage. Food intake will be measured at 30 and 60 min following a glucose(0.75 g of glucose/kg body weight), whey protein (0.75 g of glucose/kg body weight) or sweetened noncaloric beverage. Subjective appetite will be measured as well.
