13 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether one minute of stair stepping at a comfortable pace can reduce blood sugar after meals. The main objectives of the study are: Compare continuously measured post-meal glucose after stair-stepping to control condition Compare continuously measured post-meal glucose after stair-stepping between meals Assess interaction between condition and meal to determine if the effect of stair-stepping on post-meal glucose depends on meal Participants will be in the study for 10 days and will be asked to: Wear a continuous glucose monitor over the course of the study Perform either one minute of comfortable pace stair stepping 15 min after each meal OR no exercise 1 hour after eating a meal on alternating days Perform a dietary recall every two days Perform no exercise within one hour after each meal on any day during the study Consume no calories within one hour after each meal during the study
This is a randomized, controlled, crossover study to compare the effects of two treatments on postprandial glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes.
The primary objective of the study is to determine if resistant starch reduces the 2 hour glycemic response as measured by positive incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (Positive iAUC- ignores area below fasting). Secondary endpoints include insulin iAUC, glucose and insulin net incremental AUC (net iAUC), time point of peak rise (T max) of glucose and insulin, and glucose and insulin concentrations at each time point (C max).
Consuming plant chemicals (e.g., polyphenols) may have beneficial effects on human health that, if confirmed, may warrant inclusion in combat rations. Ration developers would like to determine whether the fortification of a high sugar food item with a polyphenol-rich freeze-dried fruit and/or a fruit extract improves blood sugar response and promotes other positive physiological changes (e.g., satiety) in a dose-response manner. This study will test four different types of snack bar with various polyphenol doses, and compare blood response to a snack bar without polyphenols.
This is a single-center, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, 3-way crossover meal study in participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to determine the optimum dose and compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and postprandial glycemic response of Humalog alone, Humalog + recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20), and Humulin-R + rHuPH20 administered subcutaneously.
Certain types of rice have more dietary fiber than others. This type of rice is known a "high amylose rice." This study hypothesizes that high-amylose rice, will decrease blood glucose and insulin responses after consumption compared to conventional rice in healthy adults, ages 18-40. Eighteen healthy men and women will participate in this study. This study will determine how high blood glucose and insulin values rise after eating a portion of rice. This study will also evaluate hunger ratings after consuming rice. The results of this study will help researchers better understand how diet can influence diabetes management.
The primary goal is to characterize the acute effects of avocado intake on glycemic and satiety/ appetite responses in relatively healthy overweight / obese adults. The secondary goal is to investigate risk factors for cardio-metabolic disease.
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if alpha-galactosidase (tradename Beano) changes in post-prandial (after-meal) blood glucose after eating whole cooked whole pulses or pulse-based pasta products in comparison to the same foods without alpha-galactosidase. Comparison of postprandial blood insulin and triglyceride levels, appetite, and gastrointestinal symptoms of flatulence, bloating, and stool changes will be evaluated by comparisons of the alpha-galactosidase and the pulse form (whole vs. pasta). In addition to blood glucose, such as flatulence and bloating, postprandial glucose, insulin, and appetite of individuals. The study design is a 4x4 crossover and the population is healthy volunteers aged 21-34 with normal glucose response and body weight. The primary hypothesis is that alpha-galactosidase will cause increased postprandial blood glucose for both whole and pasta pulse foods. The secondary hypothesis is that gastrointestinal symptoms will be less for both meals with the alpha-galactosidase. Other comparisons are exploratory. Participants will come in fasting for one morning per week and receive the food treatments in randomized order. Test measurements will be taken over a four hour period.
The primary aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of a whole orange, orange juice alone, and orange juice with pomace, and a whole apple, apple juice alone, apple juice with pomace on glycemic response. Fruit pomace is a fiber-rich byproduct that is isolated during normal juice production of fruits, such as orange and apple.
This study aims to determine the most effective strategy of reducing sedentary behavior to improve health. Specifically, we aim to answer the following questions: (a) To determine if there is a significant difference in acute post-prandial glucose response between continuous sitting and two intermittent standing regimes (high frequency, low duration breaks (HFLD) and low frequency, high duration breaks (LFHD)). We hypothesize that intermittent standing (combined HFLD breaks and LFHD breaks regimes) will result in lower overall acute post-prandial glucose compared to continuous sitting. (b) To determine if there is a significant difference in acute post-prandial glucose response between two strategies to reduce sitting with standing (HFLD standing breaks vs. LFHD standing breaks). We hypothesize that the HFLD breaks condition will elicit lower acute post-prandial glucose level compared to the LFHD breaks condition. All eligible participants will be consented and subjected to all three study conditions: (i) Uninterrupted sitting, (ii) HFLD breaks, and (iii) LFHD breaks. The order at which participants were subjected to these conditions will be randomly determined and each condition were performed a week apart. Standardized meals (breakfast and lunch) will be provided during each lab visit and participants will be then be asked to perform their usual work activity using a sit-stand workstation in the lab. Depending on their assigned condition, the participants will be prompted to stand or sit for a given period of time. A continuous glucose monitor will be used to measure glucose response to the intervention while an activPAL device will be used to make sure that participants are compliant with the study protocol.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the effects of a whole apple, apple juice alone, and apple juice with pomace on 2 hr glycemic response as measured by maximal glucose concentration
The primary objective of the study is to compare the effects of a whole orange, orange juice alone, and orange juice with pomace on 2 hr glycemic response as measured by maximal glucose concentration.
A meal rich in very-long chain omega-3 fatty acids or oleic acid may lower postprandial insulin levels in comparison to a meal rich in linoleic acid or palmitic acid. A meal rich in very long-chain omega-3 fatty acids may lower postprandial triglyceride levels compared to other fatty acids.
