Official title
Dietary Interventions for Insulin Resistance and the Metabolic Syndrome
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Current estimates suggest that 65% of American adults are overweight or obese. Excess body weight has been associated with an increased risk of a number of metabolic abnormalities, including high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, and low HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. Insulin resistance (when the body becomes less sensitive to the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin, and more of the hormone is needed to keep blood sugar levels under control) also frequently occurs as a result of excess body weight. These abnormalities can all increase the risk of heart disease and other serious medical problems. Individuals who are overweight often have a number of these abnormalities at the same time, a situation which is often called "the metabolic syndrome." Dietary changes, physical activity, and weight loss can lead to improvements in each of the metabolic abnormalities described above. However, the best type of diet for people with the metabolic syndrome is not known. This study has been designed to test the effects of several promising dietary patterns, with and without weight loss, in overweight adults with the metabolic syndrome. Most individuals who have the metabolic syndrome do not know they have the condition, so we will be screening many healthy overweight volunteers to see if they may be eligible.
