To investigate the impact of 7 days of bed-rest on skeletal muscle mass, strength and whole-body insulin sensitivity in healthy, young men.
To identify predictors for the different treatment options for obesity (1. combined lifestyl intervention plus, 2. E-health treatment, 3. bariatric surgery; inclusion for treatment options 1 and 2 takes place in the EMC, inclusion for the treatment…
The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences * and relationships between * vascular…
The objective of the study is to investigate the applicability of the whole body MRI protocol in Gaucher disease. To do so, we will investigate:1. If whole-body MRI ironmeasurements represent the distribution and total amoount of Gauchercells in the…
Brown adipose tissue activity and energy metabolism in cachexia induced by cancer or chronic disease
To study BAT activity and energy metabolism in patients with cachexia induced by cancer or chronic disease.
To study the pharmacokinetics of non-reactive labelled histidine (L-HISTIDINE:HCL:H2O (D5, 98%; 15N3,98%) and the effect on intestinal imidazole propionate (IP)production in small intestine vs colon in healthy controls, metabolic syndrome and DM2…
The objective of this pivotal study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RP103 in pediatric and adult patients with nephropathic cystinosis. Results of this Phase 3 study will be used to support…
To study feasibility, reliability and validity of a specific set of outcome measures in children with mitochondrial myopathy.
The purpose of GRN-study is: 1. to determine the long-term effectiveness of a 12 weeks lasting physical exercise training program. 2. to determine the costeffectiveness of the 12 weeks lasting physical exercise training program. In aim of the GRN-…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the potential clinical efficacy of HGT-1410administered via a surgically implanted IDDD in patients with MPS IIIA. Efficacy will bemeasured as a meaningful amelioration in the progression of cognitive…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of adipokines-secretion in visceral adipose tissue and its influence on the risk for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Examination of adipose tissue may provide important insight into mechanistic links…
The first aim of this study is to extend clinical knowledge on NPC. This has several reasons:1) The heterogeneous clinical presentation of NPC makes extensive clinical knowledge amongst physicians a prerequisite in preventing diagnostic delay.…
1. To compare the effects of fasting on energy sensing machinery in muscle of obese vs normal weight subjects2. To compare neuronal activity in the brain in response to fasting in obese vs normal weight humans3. To compare the activity of the HPA…
To study the application of fMRI for the detection of BAT perfusion.
To describe the differences in macrophage infiltration and mRNA expression of adipocytokines in subcutaneous, omental and perirenal fat tissue in Cushing's syndrome compared to healthy controls.
To determine ad libitum daily energy intake in response to protein/carbohydrate and fat ratio over 12 consecutive days, and in relation to age, gender, BMI and FTO gene alleles.
To determine energy expenditure and sleep in response to protein/carbohydrate and fat ratio of the diet over a short-term and long-term period of time.
1. To determine the nature and time course of the energy sensing machinery during starvation in humans.2. To correlate systemic adaptations with changes at the cellular level.
The objective of this study is to compare in healthy subjects the effects of a HF diet (40 En% fat) with those of a LF diet (20 En% fat) on early biomarkers and parameters of metabolic stress in blood and on expression of genes in the small…
In this study, we will investigate the use of optical spectroscopy in determining neonatal bilirubin and hemoglobin blood levels. The outcome and accuracy of the optical spectroscopy measurements will be compared to the outcome of laboratory blood…
