Objective
The objective of the study was to test whether there are sustained effects of the Look AHEAD intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI), versus diabetes support and education (DSE), on weight and body composition 12 to 16 years after randomization.
Methods
Participants were a subset of enrollees in the Look AHEAD dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry substudy who completed the final visit, composed...
Objective
This study was designed to determine whether intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) aimed at weight loss lowers cancer incidence and mortality.
Methods
Data from the Look AHEAD trial were examined to investigate whether participants randomized to ILI designed for weight loss would have reduced overall cancer incidence, obesity‐related cancer incidence, and cancer mortality, as compared...
Objective
This study evaluated weight changes after cessation of the 10‐year intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) in the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study. It was hypothesized that ILI participants would be more likely to gain weight during the 2‐year observational period following termination of weight‐loss–maintenance counseling than would participants in the diabetes support and...
Objective
To examine the effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) on cardiovascular disease (CVD), the Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) trial randomized 5,145 participants with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity to a ILI or diabetes support and education. Although the primary outcome did not differ between the groups, there was suggestive evidence of heterogeneity for prespecified...
Different pyrene-labeled phospholipid monolayer vesicles were used as substrates for the bovine milk lipoprotein lipase activity. The effects of synthetic fragments of apoprotein C II were measured on the hydrolysis of 1-myristoyl-2[9(1pyrenyl)-nonanoyl] phosphatidylcholine in vesicles: The activating capacity of fragments 30-78 and 43-78, 50-78 and 55-78, compared to entire apo CII, were similar...
Gastrointestinal complaints and occult bleeding have been commonly described in marathon runners. We hypothesized that these complaints may arise from intestinal ischemia caused by the shunting of blood away from the splanchnic circulation during endurance racing followed by reperfusion injury. Studies in animal models have suggested prophylactic vitamin E supplementation may prevent this type of...
Increased expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) on the vascular endothelium has been postulated to play an important role in atherogenesis. Cell culture and animal studies suggest that dyslipidemia may increase expression of various CAMs. We examined the levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) and soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin)...
