NCT00439491
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and body composition in relation to secterion and expression of adipocytokines. Obese subjects undergo 6 months hypocaloric diet and, before, during and at the end of the diet, plasma samples and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples are obtained for subsequent analysis. In addition, body composition and insulin resistance are measured before and during the diet.
NCT00436488
The genetic contribution to the development of obesity is now well recognized. However obesity is a polygenic disease and thus many genes are likely to be involved. This study aims to investigate the possible association between specific variants of the gene coding for the Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1)and the development of severe obesity in an Italian population
NCT00183027
The purpose of this study is to develop an effective calorie restricted diet.
NCT00395356
The goal of the study is to measure the effect of an approach including phases of active weight loss broken by weight stabilisation periods (named intermittent weight loss) on the metabolic profile. First, the intermittent weight loss approach will contribute to create an artificial transitory steady state during the weight loss treatment that will help to minimize the adverse effects of the standard approach on muscle mass and resting metabolic rate. Second, despite a comparable fat mass loss, the intermittent weight loss approach will improve the metabolic profile to a greater degree compared to the standard approach. Finally, the intermittent weight loss approach will be associated with less weight regain after the treatment since the beneficial effect on muscle mass and metabolic rate.
