Short-term effect of cinnamon on blood pressure in middle-aged obese adults / Short term effect of cinnamon on blood pressure in middle-aged obese adultsTickle, Samantha R. 04 May 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term effect of cinnamon on blood pressure in middle-aged obese adults. Subjects consumed a beverage with (experimental) and without (control) 6 g ground cassia cinnamon. Blood pressure was assessed at baseline, and then at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 minutes. A food frequency questionnaire was administered to estimate usual dietary intake. Twenty-six adults (9 males and 17 females), aged 40-65 years, completed the study. There was no significant difference in blood pressure at any time point between the two conditions (p>0.05). Multiple regression analysis evaluated the relationship between usual intake of diet components and control baseline blood pressure. The diet components studied did not significantly predict systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure at baseline. The results of this study suggest 6 g cinnamon does not exert a short-term beneficial effect on blood pressure in middle-aged obese adults. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

Applying the elaboration likelihood model of attitude change to reduce anti-fat person attitudes in adolescentsGroff, Patricia S. 21 July 2012 (has links)
This study investigated the degree to which two types of interventions stimulated changes in adolescents’ attitudes and beliefs about people who are obese. The main research questions focused on whether an intervention based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model of attitude change would produce a greater reduction in anti-fat person attitudes and beliefs about obesity than an intervention that did not utilize this framework. The effectiveness of the two types of interventions was assessed with middle school students at a K-12 laboratory school. Students completed pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up surveys about their anti-fat person attitudes and beliefs about the controllability of obesity. The amount of change in attitudes and beliefs was assessed within and across the two intervention groups. The hypotheses of the study predicted that the intervention which integrated the elaboration likelihood model would produce a greater reduction in anti-fat person beliefs than the intervention which did not integrate elaboration-enhancing activities. The hypotheses also predicted that a reduction in beliefs about the controllability of obesity would occur across both interventions but that this reduction would be maintained only in the elaboration-enhancing condition. A multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. After controlling for the variable of the teacher present during the time of the intervention, the results showed an equal and significant reduction in the endorsement of anti-fat person attitudes and controllability beliefs across both the information-centered and the elaboration-enhancing interventions. The reduction in anti-fat person beliefs was maintained at the two and one-half month follow-up. Similarly, beliefs about the controllability of obesity remained significantly lower at the two and one-half month follow-up survey. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

The effect of glycemic control on protein metabolism in obese subjects with type II diabetes mellitusStyhler, Karin January 1995 (has links)
We questioned whether improved glycemic control achieved by oral agent (gliclazide) would correct the altered protein metabolism during an iso-energetic (ISO) and a low energetic (50% of ISO) diets. Seven diabetic (DM) and 7 matched obese control (OB) subjects were give ISO for 14 (DM) or 7 (OB) days, followed by 28 days of the low energetic diet with constant 1.5 g protein/kg BMI$ sb{25}$/d. Giclazide (+ metformin in 4 DM) was given during days 8-14 of ISO and the low energety diet to DM. With ISO and gliclazide, fasting plasma glucose decreased and plasma insulin and nitrogen retention increased while 3-methylhistidine excretion and resting metablic rate decreased to levels no longer different from OB. With moderate energy restriction, weight decreased in all subjects and glycemia normalized in DM. Nitrogen equilibrium was maintained and 3-methylhistidine excretion did not change. The altered protein metabolism observed during hyperglycemia can be improved with oral hypoglycemic agent therapy $ pm$ the low energy diet. Moderate energy restriction with oral hypoglycemic agent therapy achieves diabetes control, nitrogen equilibrium, and a modest decrease in resting metabolic rate.
