Effect of 1 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 Treatment on Insulin Secretion and Muscle Strength in Pre-diabetic Persons

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on insulin secretion by the pancreas and glucose utilization by skeletal muscle as well as to determine the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on muscle strength in pre-diabetic persons

At-Risk for Type 1 Diabetes Extension Study

This study is an extension of the NIH-sponsored AT-Risk (TN-10) type 1 diabetes study (NCT 01030861). Teplizumab-treated and placebo-treated participants in the NIH trial who develop clinical type 1 diabetes after the conclusion of that trial, are eligible to enroll and receive teplizumab treatment within one year of diagnosis of …

The Clinical Effect of Vitamin K Administration in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The aim of this study is to examine the possible clinical effects associated with vitamin K supplementation on the glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and lipid profile of type II diabetic patients.

Impact of Pomegranate Seed Oil on Postprandial Cardiovascular Disease Risk Markers

Blood samples will be collected for the measurement of fasting lipids, glucose, insulin, inflammatory markers, and whole blood culture. The findings from this study will contribute to the evidence base on how consuming meals rich in PSO influence the level of blood lipids as well as other biomarkers for cardiovascular …

Effect of 14:10 Time-Restricted Eating on Body Weight and Metabolic Markers

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of engaging in time restricted eating schedule on body weight, blood glucose, and ketones (breath acetone) in individuals with obesity.

Scripps Digital Diabetes: Cloud-Based Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CB CGM)

Individuals with diabetes in the hospital often experience poor glycemic control, which places them at greater risk for infection, neurological and cardiac complications, mortality, longer lengths of stay, readmissions, and higher healthcare costs. There are few effective interventions for monitoring hospital glucose management therefore the long-term goal of developing Cloud-Based …

Unacylated Ghrelin to Improve Functioning in PAD

GIFT is a pilot, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial that will examine the effects of unacylated ghrelin on walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) compared to placebo. Preliminary evidence suggests that unacylated ghrelin may improve blood flow to the extremities and promote improved skeletal muscle growth and energy …

Continuous Versus Cyclical OCP Use in PCOS (CCOUP)

The mainstay treatment for females with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has long been a combination of an oral contraceptive pill or OCP (containing both estrogen and progestin) along with an anti-androgen medication (such as Spironolactone) to not only prevent chronic anovulation but also suppress elevated testosterone levels and its clinical …

Improving Insulin Sensitivity by Non-invasive Brain Stimulation

The investigators hypothesize that stimulating the hypothalamus-cognitive network will enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce food intake, food craving and hunger. Furthermore, the project will provide the unique opportunity to investigate novel mechanisms of insulin resistance in participants who have been extensively metabolically characterized.
