Understanding Metabolism and Inflammation Risks for Diabetes in Adolescents
Recruiting
This research study collects health-related information and blood samples to better understand how body composition, lifestyle habits, and diet influence meta-inflammatory monocytes (MiMos) in adolescents. The hypothesis of this study is that adolescents at risk for metabolic disease have enhanced MiMo related activities leading to insulin resistance.

Reversal of Lipid-Induced Insulin Resistance
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to examine whether weight reduction decreases intramyocellular (IMCL) and hepatic lipid content, and improves insulin sensitivity of muscle and fat tissue in people who are insulin resistant and have a family history of type 2 diabetes. Hepatic mitochondrial oxidation will be assesses using a 3 hour triple tracer study (D7 glucose, 3-13C lactate and 13C4 beta-hydroxybutyrate).

Precision Nutrition and Metabolic Function
Recruiting
The purposes of this study are: 1) to determine the mechanisms responsible for the development of cardiometabolic complications in some, but not all people with obesity; 2) determine the best dietary approach for cardiometabolic health; and 3) understand why some people have a stable metabolic phenotype over time whereas cardiometabolic health improves or worsens in others.

Complex Effects of Dietary Manipulation on Metabolic Function, Inflammation and Health
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to 1) understand how some, but not all people with obesity develop obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and 2) compare the effects of 3 popular weight loss diets (Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, or a very-low-fat plant-based diet) in people with obesity.

Small Extracellular Vesicles and Insulin Action
Recruiting
The goals of this research study are to: 1) understand why some people with obesity are protected from developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease while others are more likely to develop obesity-related conditions; 2) assess the effect of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs also called exosomes), obtained from human participants, on metabolic function in cultured cells and in mice.

Exercise Effects on Adipose Tissue Structure and Function
Recruiting
Participants will be randomized into one of two different experimental groups: 1) Exercise group and 2) No exercise (control group). Subject participation in the study will involve a series of metabolic tests before and after participants undergo a 10% weight loss program (with or without exercise training depending on group randomization). After completing this weight loss portion of the study, participants will then be required to adhere to a high calorie diet program to regain half of the wei... Read More

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Exercise Training in Adolescents At-Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
Recruiting
The investigators are doing this study to learn more about how to prevent type 2 diabetes in teenage girls. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking part in a cognitive-behavioral therapy group, exercise training group, or a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and exercise training groups, decreases stress, improves mood, increases physical activity and physical fitness, and decreases insulin resistance among teenagers at risk for diabetes.

The Effects of an Obesogenic Lifestyle in Recreationally Active, Young Adults
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the alterations insulin resistance and metabolic flexibility following a transition to an obesogenic lifestyle in fit young men. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the addition of excess carbohydrates when transitioning to a sedentary lifestyle promote insulin resistance in fit young men? Does the addition of excess carbohydrates when transitioning to a sedentary lifestyle lower the body's ability to break down fats and carbohydrates... Read More

Effects of Obesity and Intensity of Exercise on Ghrelin Levels

Role of Sympathetic Vasoconstriction on Insulin-Mediated Microvascular Recruitment and Glucose Uptake in Obesity
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to better understand the contribution of sympathetic vasoconstriction to impaired insulin-mediated vasodilation and subsequently insulin-mediated glucose uptake. The investigators will test the hypothesis that removal of sympathetic vasoconstriction can result in improvement in insulin-mediated vasodilation and subsequently sensitivity to insulin-mediated glucose uptake.
