10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is being done to assess the effects of S. boulardii CNCM I-745 compared to placebo on impaired intestinal permeability, which is the control of material passing from inside the gastrointestinal tract through the cells lining the gut wall into the rest of the body.
This study plans to learn more about the effect of semaglutide once weekly on intestinal permeability in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
This study will investigate the effects of curcumin on the structure/function of the body by investigating whether targeted improvement of intestinal barrier function by supplementation with oral curcumin will result in attenuation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation and/or intestinal inflammation.
In this double blind, crossover study participants will take a placebo for 3 weeks each. Gut permeability will be assessed weekly using food-grade sugar molecules. On the second week, participants will take aspirin, which will make their intestine permeable to the sugars. Participants will be asked to provide urine and stool samples to assess gut permeability and microbial communities. No change in permeability to the small sugar probes is anticipated with the probiotic.
The main objective of this work is to conduct a clinical trial in obese and non-obese individuals testing the ability of low-fat dairy yogurt to improve gastrointestinal health and reduce chronic inflammation. Our central hypothesis is that short and long-term consumption of low-fat dairy yogurt will reduce inflammation to a greater extent in obese individuals by improving intestinal barrier function.
Butyric acid has been shown to promote gut health and improve the microbiome in multiple adult studies. In preliminary studies in older children with inflammatory bowel disease, butyric acid was shown to be safe. However, it's suitability for infants and young children with congenital heart disease (CHD) has yet to be determined. This study will examine butyric acid supplementation in infants and children, ages 1 month to 3 years, with CHD who require cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Study goals include determining the safety and tolerability of butyric acid supplementation before cardiac surgery, and to identify changes in gut microbial communities, metabolic profile, and genetic markers intestinal function. Also, the study seeks to establish a reduction in inflammation (inflammatory signaling) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in participants receiving butyric acid.
This study evaluates dietary green tea extract to improve gut health and inflammation in persons with metabolic syndrome and healthy adults. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume green tea extract or placebo for one month and then switch to the opposite treatment for an additional month.
In this prospective, intervention study, participants with diagnosed Parkinson's disease will be instructed to follow a Mediterranean diet for five weeks. Gut permeability will be assessed using food-grade sugar molecules. Participants will provide urine and stool samples to assess gut permeability and microbial communities.
This study evaluates the effect of a dietary supplement to improve gut health. The participants will take one of six dietary treatments for three weeks, and the gut bacteria and the gut intestinal barrier will be assessed to determine if these dietary treatments beneficially change these markers of gut health.
The purpose of the current study is to examine the effects of a dietary supplement containing plant derived phenolics at two different dose levels on parameters of gastrointestinal (GI) health in otherwise generally healthy adults with risk factors (high BMI and waist circumference) for increased GI permeability. The primary hypothesis is that supplementation with plant derived phenolics will improve gut health compared to placebo.
