The primary purpose of this research is to determine if GLA supplementation reduces weight regain over 24 months in Virta Health patients.
The secondary purpose is to determine the effect of GLA supplementation on diabetes-related outcomes.
Growing evidences have pointed to the role of 5-lipooxygenase / leukotriene pathway in the pathogenesis of diabesity. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (Cys-LT) are potent inflammatory lipid mediators derived from the 5-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism. They act on Cys-LT receptors that are
Obesity is a problem of ever-growing importance, especially in industrialized countries, widespread both in adults and in the pediatric population.
Children and obese adolescents, like adults, have an increased risk, compared with normal-weight peers, to develop high blood pressure, insulin

Aspirin has an established role in the treatment of ACS and secondary prevention of ischaemic heart disease. In the landmark trial of aspirin in ACS, ISIS-2 (1988), it conferred a benefit of similar magnitude to thrombolysis. The addition of a second antiplatelet agent (a P2Y12 inhibitor) to aspirin
Sixty young adult obese and non obese women, with, and without asthma, were studied using a cross-sectional design. Body composition was measured by plethysmography. A fasted blood sample was taken to measure: specific and total immunoglobulin (IgE) antibodies,biochemical markers of atopy; glucose

Background:
SDB in children markedly differs from that seen in adults, in particular with respect to clinical manifestations, PSG (Polysomnography) findings, and treatment approaches. Pediatric SDB is due to a combination of increased upper airway resistance and repetitive pharyngeal collapsibility
Objective
To evaluate the effects of lowering the dietary nutrient linoleic acid (LA) as a controlled variable on: 1) tissue accretion of omega-6 and omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA); 2) bioactive endocannabinoids derived from the omega-6 HUFA arachidonic acid (AA); 3) insulin
Cross-sectional studies in Northern America, Northern Europe and Asia indicate an increased prevalence and severity of asthma in the obese whereas longitudinal studies have indicated that increasing BMI is associated with increased risk of incident asthma in women. However, the mechanisms through
The prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents dramatically increased during the last two decades. In Germany every 5th school child is overweight and 4 - 8% of all children are obese.
Recent studies suggest that fatty acids in maternal nutrition may have an impact on the fat tissue
