Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis Clinical research trials and Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis. Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis



Nutritional Restriction and Activity Thermogenesis

For Condition: Obesity
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) ,
Synopsis: These studies will provide us with enormous insight regarding how obese patients adapt energetically during negative energy balance. We will gain fundamental information regarding the metabolic implications of combining food restriction with a walking program compatible to that advocated by statutory agencies. These studies will lead to improved understanding of the energetic adaptation that occurs during negative energy balance and how best to treat patients with obesity.
Details:
Eligibility:
Study Type:  Interventional, Diagnostic, Randomized
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: 25 Years/55 Years
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: Ninety sedentary subjects, aged 25-55, who live <10 miles from Rochester will be recruited. This age range has been selected to enable us to study individuals at the peak age-range of obesity and over-weight prevalence and to avoid issues of menopause. Subjects will not be eligible for consideration if they take two or more bouts of exercise/week or participate in sports for more than 2 hours/week. Subjects with predicted weight maintenance energy requirements of <2000 kcal/day will have been excluded at screening. This is because when we come to underfeeding by 1000 kcal/day, we want to avoid feeding any volunteer <1000 kcal/day, for safety & compliance reasons. (A) LEAN: 30 (15F,15M) lean subjects; BMI <25 kg/m2. Each lean subject will be individually matched for height (+3cm) and age (+3 years) to an obese subject so as to establish comparable groupings for body size. Subjects will have been weight-stable for six months (B) OBESE: 30 (15F,15M) obese subjects; BMI 30-35 kg/m2. Subjects will have been weight-stable for six months (C) POST-OBESE: 30 (15F,15M) patients will have had a previous BMI >30 kg/m2 and a weight loss sufficient to achieve a BMI of <26 kg/m2 maintained for at least 2 months (with weight fluctuation during this period of <1 kg) (94). We will attempt to match these subjects to the obese subjects as described above.
