Experimental Approach to Test Predictions of Body Weight Regulation Models

Obesity · Underweight

The regulation of human body weight and fatness is not fully understood. Although some models of regulation have been proposed (set point, dual-intervention point, others), no studies have been designed to test their predictions. In this pilot and feasibility study, the investigators will implement an experimental approach to test the predictions of models of body weight regulation in humans. Men and women with either low body weight or obesity will be exposed to a 2-day fasting followed by a 2-day ad-libitum refeeding. During the entire fasting-refeeding period, energy intake and expenditure will be accurately measured within metabolic chambers. The investigators will therefore determine the compensatory responses to fasting elicited to prevent weight loss. The results will serve to design and power future studies to better understand body weight regulation.

Predicting Appendicular Lean and Fat Mass With Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Among Adult Patients With Obesity.

Obesity

This study aims to develop and cross-validate novel bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations for predicting appendicular soft tissue masses, specifically fat mass (FM) and appendicular lean mass (ALM), in a sample of Caucasian adult subjects affected by obesity. The research will compare these new BIA equations with three established BIA-derived prediction models and validate them using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. This study utilizes existing datasets to enhance the accuracy and applicability of BIA in assessing body composition and supports the development of standardized algorithms for converting raw BIA data across different devices and populations.

Iron Absorption in The Low Oxygen Exposure and Weight Status (LOWS) Study

Obesity (Disorder)

Declines in iron status are common in those with obesity and may be due to obesity-related chronic inflammation; however, the effects of reducing inflammation following diet-induced weight loss on iron metabolism are poorly understood. Low environmental oxygen exposure increases dietary iron absorption and availability to supply iron for erythropoiesis but has not yet been tested in the context of weight loss. This study is designed to investigate diet-induced weight loss (inflammation reduction) and overnight low oxygen exposure (erythropoiesis stimulating agent) as strategies to improve dietary iron absorption in obesity.

A Study to See How Metabolism is Influenced by Weight Loss Due to Intervention With Cagrilintide and Semaglutide Compared to Diet

Obesity

In this study we will be looking into how CagriSema influences metabolism (the process by which food is used to supply energy for the body) compared to a diet. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors but has previously been tested in humans. The study is split into 2 parts. In the first part of the study, participants will either get CagriSema or a weight loss diet (calorie reduced). In the second part of the study,all participants will get CagriSema. Which treatment participants get in the first part of the study is decided by chance. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects. The study will last for about 1.5 years.

Impact of Lean Pork on Endothelial Function in Perimenopause

Cardiovascular Outcome · Overweight and Obese Women · Perimenopausal Women

The goal of this study is to examine the impact of a diet high in fresh lean pork, compared to a plant-based diet, on cardiovascular function and vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal women with overweight and obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood lipids, endothelial function, and blood pressure? 2. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood nitrate, cardiometabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and vasomotor symptoms? Researchers will compare the diet high in pork to a plant-based diet to see if pork helps improve cardiovascular and mesopause symptoms. Participants will: * Consume both of the diets, each for 4 weeks, with a washout period between 2 and 6 weeks in between the diets trials * Visit the clinic 5 times with weekly meal pick ups during the diet trials * Undergo testing procedures including: weight and body composition, blood pressure and pulse, endothelial function using ultrasound of upper arm, microvascular blood flow, blood draws, physical activity measurements, and questionnaires.
