Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Researchers at the University of Kentucky College of Nursing are inviting you to join a research study designed to learn about the role of dietary antioxidants and inflammation in persons with metabolic syndrome

Objective To determine the metabolic effects of the adrenalectomy in subclinical Cushing's syndrome of adrenal incidentaloma. Methods 234 subclinical cushing syndrome and adrenal incidentaloma will be randomly assigned into two groups(e.g adrenalectomy group and conservative treatment group).

Metabolic syndrome is combination risk factors of serial cardiovascular and metabolic disease, included central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Basic studies suggested that sympathetic nerves over activity played an important role in the development and perpetuation of metabolic syndrome. Clinical therapies occurred by complication treatment and therapeutic life-style changes. ...

This is a randomized, placebo controlled proof of concept study that will examine the investigational drug Rifaximin Soluble Solid Dispersion (SSD) ability to reduce gut microbiota and thereby reduce adipose inflammation and improve insulin resistance. Each subject enrolled will undergo a fat tolerance test with a high fat meal, an ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common condition that may induce hemodynamic and metabolic dysregulation. However, it is not clear if OSA is a mere epiphenomenon or contributes to increase the morbidity associated with metabolic syndrome. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP in ...

Apparently healthy individuals with an estimated screening number of approximately twenty-thousand individuals undergo an annual health exam in the investigators' hospital. The routine exam includes measurements of body height, body weight, blood pressure, visual and acoustic acuity, physical examinations, basic blood tests, urine analyses, chest radiography, and electrocardiography. The blood ...

Only 25-30% of patients who may benefit from HSCT have a matched related donor. There is a higher rate of complications using cells from an unrelated or partially matched related donor. T cells within the donor cells may cause a complication called graft vs. host disease (GVHD). The goal of ...

Late-onset hypoventilation syndrome with hypothalamic dysfunction was first described in 1965 and renamed to ROHHAD syndrome in 2007 by Ize-Ludlow et al. The hallmark of ROHHAD syndrome is rapid-onset obesity starting at approximately 1.5 years of age with weight gain of 12-20 kg/year, central hypoventilation distinct from the obstructive hypoventilation ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health problem associated with substantial costs and resource utilization. Currently, CKD affects more than 500 million people worldwide. Patients with CKD have unacceptably high mortality rates due to cardiovascular (CV) causes, which are not entirely explained by traditional CV risk factors. The ...

The Purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Daesiho-tang and Taeeumjowi-tang on Korean obese Women with metabolic syndrome Risk factors
