1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Theoretical Framework
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity and a long evolution over time, determined by periods of psychotic exacerbation and phases of stabilization. The semiology of this nosological entity is
Study design:
This is a triple-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.
Sample size:
The sample size was calculated to observe a difference of 15% in insulin sensitivity based on two outcomes: glucose rate of appearance (Ra) and glucose rate of disappearance (Rd) obtained from
Background: The pathophysiology of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) involves several mechanisms. Intestinal dysbiosis may influence factors involved in the pathophysiology of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, such as changes in gastrointestinal motor patterns and increased intraabdominal
Gut microbiota is the largest microorganisms pool in the human body. The physiological roles of gut microbiota for digestion, metabolism, immune homeostasis, GI-tract infection prevention and anti-inflammation. The very first colonized gut microbiota of infant are from maternal vaginal fluid. Gut
1. Background:
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammation, affecting approximately 130,000 Canadians. Its incidence and prevalence is rising worldwide. The disease etiology is unknown; however its pathogenesis is thought to be mediated by commensal gut bacteria, affected by
Background and hypothesis:
Our preclinical evidence shows that phospholipid-rich milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in gut permeability and pro-inflammatory cytokines. MFGM also attenuates inflammation in association with a prebiotic and/or antimicrobial
Cardiovascular disease is a major public health concern in the United States, where it accounts for 1 in 4 deaths every year. Vascular endothelial dysfunction is an early event leading to cardiovascular disease and can be caused by postprandial hyperglycemia. Cardiovascular disease is also
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Europe. The geographical variation of incidence demonstrates how environmental factors, chiefly dietary habits, play a major role in this disease. Convincing evidence suggests that risk of CRC is increased by red meat and
Specific Aims:
Hypothesis to be investigated: the integrated treatment effect of controlling inflammatory process through vedolizumab in active UC patients can be synergistically enhanced with a structured semi-vegetarian dietary intervention
Background and Significance:
Research of fecal microflora
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an increasing global problem, especially in developing countries. T2D is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where hyperglycemia is especially important for microvascular damage.
Previous studies in T2D on reduced carbohydrate intake has shown
The goal of this study is to investigate and compare the composition of the intestinal microbiota in patients with PCOS and age, BMI-matched control. In addition, the investigators will investigate the relationship between alterations in the intestinal microbiota, clinical phenotype, biochemical
Objectives: Based on the efficacy of inulin plus FOS shown in experimental colitis as well as their ability to improve active human UC the investigators propose double-blind placebo controlled study using Synergy1, a 1:1 FOS/ inulin mixture, in patients in clinical remission of UC. The specific aims
RECRUITING AND INCENTIVIZING RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
For the proposed study, the investigators will recruit research participants from the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder, housed at the University of Michigan under the direction of Dr. Melvin McInnis, mentor on this application. The
The gut microbiome:
The human body is colonized by a multitude of microorganisms whose collective genome, the microbiome, complements and enhances our own genome. From this perspective, humans are "supra-organisms" colonized by a number of microbial cells that is 10 times greater than the sum of all
While dietary guidelines about intake of specific nutrients in pregnant women are well-established, surprisingly little is known about dietary eating patterns or nutritional risk factors for SPTB.
In data from two large nationally-representative European studies, SPTB was predicted by a western
