In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=26) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. Participants were >18 years of age, not pregnant, not diabetic, with no unresolved infections or

The TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) is a transcriptional target of p53. TIGAR functions as a fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, decreasing the flux through the main glycolytic pathway. Consequently, glucose metabolism diverted into the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). This results

Research supports clinical experience that ingestion of food often triggers the emergence or exacerbation of symptoms in the majority of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While IBS remains primarily a symptom driven entity, our understanding of its pathophysiology is evolving. However,

The drug 3-V Bioscience-2640 has been tested previously in subjects with cancer because the lipogenesis pathway is important to the control of some cancer progression. Palmitate (C16:0), a saturated, 16-carbon fatty acid is a biomarker of lipogenesis present in blood triglyceride (TG), was found to

This is a single BNCT-facility, non-randomized, non-comparative, open-label, phase I to II clinical trial to determine the value of IHNI in the performance of BNCT. Before patients are recruited in this study, they must have been confirmed as malignant melanoma by biopsy and pathological analysis.

Patients: 6 adults with type 2diabetes will be selected, ages between 25 and 50 years, with more than 5 and less than 10 years of disease, adherent to treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin, who agree to participate in the study through a written informed consent. Only those with a high

To achieve these goals we will address the following specific hypotheses that - Fructose-induced changes in lipid composition of hepatocellular stores determine lipotoxicity which may be associated with abnormalities in mitochondrial function, energy homeostasis, inflammasome activation and cellular

Subjects Subjects with lung cancer detected by a computed tomography (CT)-scan and referred to a positron emission tomography (PET)/CT-scan are included. The diagnosis of lung cancer is confirmed by means of an pathological biopsy or by a medical doctor specialized in oncology with respect to

Evaluation of the ability of this system to have a complete resection of superficial tumors of the digestive tract (that is to say a resection with free lateral and deep margins without residual tumor tissue) Evaluation of the ability of such system to inject a viscous macromolecular solution of

This is a prospective, single arm, open label phase I/II trial with boron neutron capture (BNCT) therapy for patients with previously irradiated and locally recurrent head and neck cancer. The eligibility criteria are patients with locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancer; good performance

Patients between the ages of 18 and 70 years who are eligible for care at Brooke Army Medical Center are considered for enrollment. After obtaining informed consent, a baseline questionnaire is given to patients who present to the Primary Care Clinic for routine clinic visits or during colon cancer

The concept of Colonic Adaptation(CA) to regular carbohydrates has been linked mainly to lactose disaccharide(galactose,glucose) and lactulose(galactose, fructose), a manufactured derivative of lactose. CA is achieved in both cases by short term regular consumption of the targeted sugar which is not

This is a single BNCT-facility, non-randomized, non-comparative, prospective, open-label, phase I/II study to determine the value of BNCT in the treatment of inoperable, irradiated, progressing anaplastic astrocytomas or glioblastomas following conventional radiation therapy. The neutron irradiation

This is a single BNCT-facility, non-randomized, non-comparative, prospective, open-label, phase I/II trial to determine the value of BNCT in the treatment of subjects who have undergone surgery for glioblastoma, but glioblastoma has not been treated with radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The

This is a single BNCT-facility, non-randomized, non-comparative, open-label, phase I to II trial to determine the value of BNCT in the treatment of inoperable, irradiated, locally advanced cancers of the head and neck region. An attempt to perform 18F-labeled boronophenylalanine (18F-BPA) SPECT or
