NCT06619834
The goal of this clinical trial pilot study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a combined intervention strategy of 1) technology-supported financial navigation to address economic burden of disease and 2) peer support both to facilitate linkages to clinical care and community resources to address social risks and improve participants\' diabetes self-management. The main aims of this pilot study are: * To examine the feasibility and acceptability of technology-supported financial navigation and financial navigation with peer support * To examine trends in preliminary efficacy of technology-supported financial navigation and peer support versus financial navigation-alone on 1) A1c and blood pressure (primary outcomes), and 2) out-of-pocket costs, treatment-related financial stress, cost-related non-adherence behaviors, diabetes distress, diabetes self-care behaviors, and uptake of social care assistance (secondary outcomes). The investigators will assess whether a combined intervention of technology-supported financial navigation and peer support will produce trends in superior diabetes and social care outcomes to financial navigation alone via a 2-arm randomized controlled trial. Participants will * Complete 3 survey appointments at baseline, and 3 and 6 months. Each appointment will consist of a survey assessment, an HbA1C test, and two blood pressure readings over the phone. * Be randomized to either financial navigation only or financial navigation and peer support.

NCT07422051
The goal of this postprandial clinical trial is to learn whether erythrodiol, a triterpene naturally present in pomace olive oil, can modulate the cell foam formation, ine of the first steps in atherosclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is erythrodiol bioavailable in humans when administered as pomace olive oil? Does acute erythrodiol intake reduce postprandial triglyceride excursions after a high-fat meal? Does erythrodiol reduce the intake of postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by macrophages? Researchers will compare participants receiving test meals enriched with different concentrations of erythrodiol (low, medium, high) to see if the intervention leads to improved postprandial metabolic and vascular responses. Participants will: Attend the research facility after an overnight fast. Consume a high-fat test meal enriched with a different doses of erythrodiol Undergo serial postprandial assessments over several hours, including: Blood sampling for lipids, glucose, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress biomarkers Monitoring of subjective tolerability and adverse events
NCT06301243
Fitness is one of the best predictors for heart and brain disease. To increase ones fitness, the American Heart Association (AHA) says to exercise at least 150 minutes per week or 75 minutes per week if really hard. These exercise guides are pretty effective, however not everyone will get the same results. What individuals do outside of the exercise bout can influence the effectiveness of exercise. One of these factors is our time sitting, which has caused the phrase "sitting is the new smoking". Other studies have said that the metabolic benefits of exercise are decreased when you exercise after a few days of low activity (less than 5,000 steps per day). This is important in that exercise may not be able to fully offset these times of inactivity. However, these studies were only looking at different fats in the blood. As exercise increases fat burn up to 10 times in the muscle, more research is needed to understand how inactivity affects the muscle during exercise and after exercise. This study will help answer two questions: 1) How does a day of sitting a lot affect the muscle's ability to respond to exercise? and 2) How does a day of sitting a lot affect carbohydrate and fat burn during and after a bout of exercise? The investigators will answer these questions by having people complete one day of inactivity (less than 5,000 steps) or normal activity (more than 8,500 steps). Subjects will then come in the next day to bike somewhat hard for 1 hour. The investigators will take blood samples before, during, and after exercise to measure energy sources. The investigators will also collect pieces of skeletal muscle before and after exercise to see how the muscle responded to exercise. This study is significant for the publication of exercise guidelines to minimize risk of heart and metabolic diseases.
NCT07420023
High-glycaemic foods contribute to elevated risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiometabolic disease. Replacing digestible carbohydrates with dietary fibres is known to reduce postprandial glycaemic excursions, enhance satiety, and support beneficial microbial fermentation. However, limited evidence exists on how interactions between different isolated fibres within a processed food matrix may modulate these responses, particularly when such interactions could recreate structural features of intrinsic plant fibre networks that naturally restrict starch accessibility and alter fermentation dynamics. This randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial will investigate how isolated dietary fibres, alone and in combination, influence metabolic and microbial responses when incorporated into a commonly consumed cereal-based food (scone). Overweight but otherwise healthy adults (BMI 25-\<30 kg/m²) will consume seven fibre-enriched scone formulations across two consecutive mornings per intervention phase. Outcomes include postprandial glycaemic response measured via continuous glucose monitoring (primary outcome), perceived satiety and energy intake, gastrointestinal symptoms, fermentation dynamics via breath hydrogen and methane, and gut microbiota composition assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing. This study will generate novel insights into potential synergistic interactions between isolated fibres within a food matrix and their consequences for glycaemic control, satiety, microbial fermentation, and community. Findings will inform next-generation food design strategies aimed at replicating complex intrinsic fibre structures to enhance the health impact of processed foods.
NCT05540678
The aim of this study is thus to assess the effect of a chewing gum containing fibres on body weight, metabolism and the oral and intestinal microbiomes in a population of obese children.
NCT05236374
The objective of the current study is to test the overarching hypothesis that the beef nutritive matrix is uniquely suited to direct dietary zinc to cellular compartments for improved metabolic function, leading to a greater effect on health outcomes. Specifically, whether beef, as a component of a healthy meal, will promote the absorption of zinc into cells, where the zinc will have greater effects on zinc-dependent metabolic processes supporting cardiovascular health. To maximize the observability of these beef-related effects, individuals who are 55- to 70-year-old who generally have a higher risk of zinc deficiency and cardiovascular disease will be enrolled.
NCT01174875
This study aims to examine the role of genetic and epigenetic factors, maternal nutrition, lifestyle, emotional health, and other environmental factors in pregnancy or postpartum period that can influence future maternal risk of metabolic and mental wellness, including body weight changes. The study will recruit women in early pregnancy and later follow their children after birth, tracking both the mother and child until the child reaches at least 20 years of age.
NCT07386665
Type of Study: Clinical Trial Goal: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how performing exercise at different times of day (morning vs. evening) affects liver fat, cardiometabolic health, and gut microbiota in postmenopausal women. Participant Population/Health Conditions: The study will involve 63 sedentary postmenopausal women (aged 45-75) diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Main Questions: The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does morning exercise reduce hepatic fat more effectively than evening exercise? * How does time-of-day-specific exercise influence cardiometabolic markers? * Do changes in gut microbiota contribute to the metabolic effects of exercise timing? Participants Will: Be randomized into one of three groups: morning exercise, evening exercise, or a usual-care control group. Follow the assigned regimen for 12 weeks. The exercise groups will perform supervised aerobic and resistance training three times per week. Provide blood, stool, and imaging data before and after the intervention to determine the effects of the intervention. Comparison Group: Researchers will compare the effects of morning vs. evening exercise (and usual care) on hepatic fat reduction and cardiometabolic improvement, as well as changes in gut microbiota.
NCT07351786
This study aims to test the impact of new-generation anti-diabetic drugs, such as SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors, on the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The study hypothesizes that these drugs have protective effects in diabetic retinopathy by delaying its incidence compared to older agents (including metformin) only. Early intervention is critical, as treatment options for advanced stages of DR are limited in terms of their ability to restore impaired vision and their high associated costs. By focusing on delaying the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy, the investigators aim to reduce the burden of DR and improve the quality of life for diabetic patients.
NCT06800794
This study aims to explore how food insecurity, a lack of consistent access to enough food, may lead to changes in the body that make it harder to lose weight. The investigators are testing whether providing women experiencing food insecurity with a stable, healthy, and personalized meal plan can improve their metabolism and reduce their motivation to eat unhealthy foods. The hypothesis is that addressing food insecurity with a predictable diet can lower a person's respiratory quotient (a measure of how the body uses energy), promote fat burning, and improve overall health. This research will improve the understanding for how food insecurity contributes to obesity and may lead to better solutions for managing weight in individuals facing these challenges.
