Transduction of Sympathetic Neural Activity in Human Obesity Without Hypertension

Obesity

In addition to chronically elevated MSNA, there is a growing recognition that hypertension in states of insulin resistance and obesity may also be attributed to an increased vascular sensitivity to MSNA (1, 2, 13, 36-38). To study this phenomenon, we quantify vascular sensitivity to MSNA using an innovative, moment-to-moment assessment of the blood pressure response following individual bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), (10, 11, 34, 37). This approach is termed 'sympathetic-vascular transduction (SVT).' We will examine the hypothesis that SVT is exaggerated in obesity and insulin resistance and is attenuated by suppression of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the overabundance of reactive oxygen species and is another hallmark of hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance. Oxidative stress can be safely reduced via intravenous infusion of ascorbic acid (Vit C) (4, 28). Therefore, we will use a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled approach to test the hypothesis that elevated SVT will be attenuated by suppression of oxidative stress via ascorbic acid I.V. infusion compared with saline I.V. infusion (placebo) in obese adults with insulin resistance. Our study will identify a unique mechanism that can be targeted to reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for CVD in obesity and insulin resistance.

Gestational Response, Outcomes, and Weight After GLP-1 Use

Pregnant Individuals · Obesity & Overweight · Gestational Weight Gain

The goal of this observational study is to learn if using GLP-1RA medications for weight loss before pregnancy influences gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes. The main aims of the study are to: * Compare gestational weight gain between women with preconception GLP-1RA exposure and those without exposure. * Compare obstetrical outcomes between women with preconception GLP-1RA exposure and those without exposure. Researchers will compare pregnant women with a history of GLP-1RA use to pregnant women who have not used a GLP-1RA to compare differences. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at multiple timepoints during and after pregnancy that ask questions about medication history, thoughts and feelings around food, etc.

Weight Loss Management in Endometrial Cancer Survivors

Endometrial Cancer Survivors · Weight Management · Early Stage Endometrial Cancer

This study is being done to understand how oncologists can engage a multidisciplinary team to help endometrial cancer survivors with obesity to engage in a weight management program and potentially start a weight loss medication. Obesity often impacts the future health and longevity of early-stage endometrial cancer survivors more than their cancer diagnosis. Patients will be referred to the KUMC OB/Gyn weight management clinic to discuss weight management options. * If patients decide to use medications for weight loss, then the study will collect data from their chart that is recorded as part of routine monitoring for patients on weight loss medications. * If patients decide not to use any medications, the study will monitor physical exam and lab data collected as part of their routine medical care. The study will also try to understand reasons why patients did or did not start using a weight loss medication.

Muscle and Movement With Anti-Obesity Medications

Obesity and Overweight

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about changes in body composition related to obesity medication use, and whether aerobic or resistance exercise training will impact these body composition changes. It will also provide information about whether aerobic or resistance exercise training has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean mass, muscle mass, and bone content) between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in body weight and BMI between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in physical function between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in health-related quality of life between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? Participants will: * Participate in an intervention for a period of 6 months that involves being assigned to a no exercise/standard medical care condition, or a supervised exercise condition (aerobic training or resistance training). * Visit the clinical before starting the study and at 6 months to complete study measurements of their body composition and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete a brief monitoring session at weeks 6, 12, and 18 across the 6 months. * Complete supervised exercise sessions at the research center 3x per week for 6 months (Participants in the exercise groups only: aerobic training or resistance training).

Sympathetic-vascular Dysfunction in Obesity and Insulin Resistance (Vitamin C Study)

Hypertension · Cardiovascular Diseases

The main purpose of research is to examine and understanding the development of hypertension in obese adults with insulin resistance. Findings from our studies will identify unique mechanisms that can be targeted to limit increases in vascular dysfunction and reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study is testing the health of the blood vessels and the activity of the nerves that control the blood vessels in adults with insulin resistance. The extent to which ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) improves the function of the blood vessels will be determined. The primary outcome is blood pressure, which is the result of blood vessel health and activity of the nerves, and the reduction in blood pressure that is observed with ascorbic acid.
