1. Insulin Regulation of Lipolysis and Lipolysis Proteins

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether impaired insulin-induced suppression of lipolysis (as measured by IC50) is related to lipolysis proteins in groups of volunteers known to vary widely with regards to abdominal adipocyte size and regulation of adipose tissue lipolysis, and whether the improved insulin regulation of lipolysis resulting from treatment with the PPARγ agonist pioglitazone, with or without weight loss, can be linked to specific changes in sets of PPARγ-responsive adipocyte lipolysis proteins in UBO adults.
   
   
   
    

    

    

    

    

2. A Study to Test How Muscle Tissue Differs Between People

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to look for ways to test how muscle tissue differs between people.

3. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Crinecerfont in Adults with Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of NBI-74788 (100 mg twice daily [bid]), compared with placebo, in reducing daily glucocorticoid dosage while maintaining adrenal androgen control, in reducing adrenal steroid levels following an initial 4-week treatment period, on clinical endpoints associated with supraphysiologic (greater than normal) glucocorticoid dosing, to evaluate plasma concentrations of NBI-74788 and metabolites, and to assess the safety and tolerability of NBI-74788.

4. A Study to Evaluate Cellular Senescence with Senolytics to Improve Skeletal Health in Older Humans

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to test whether intermittent senolytic therapy reduces markers of biological age and improves bone turnover markers and skeletal parameters in older postmenopausal women.

5. A Study to Evaluate Copeptin as a Biomarker for Central Diabetes Insipidus Development Following Pituitary Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate if a blood test measuring copeptin within 24 hours following pituitary surgery could predict development of diabetes insipidus (increased urination and thirst with fluid balance problems) as opposed to the clinical methods we currently use.

6. A Study to Predict Recovery from Cushing Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to determine pre-surgical and post-surgical predictors of the duration and severity of glucocorticoid withdrawal in patients undergoing a curative surgery for cortisol excess.

7. A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Nutrition Education and Access to Nutritious Foods on Diabetes Control

   Mankato, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not a 6 month supply (1 meal//day) of healthy food choices readily available in the patient's home and self management training including understanding of how foods impact diabetes, improved food choices and how to prepare those foods, improve glucose control.  In addition, it will evaluate whether or not there will be lasting behavior change modification after the program.

8. A Study to Establish an Obesity-Related Phenotype Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to create a registry of obese patients who have been phenotyped to understand the heterogeneity of obesity.

9. The Development of a Shared Decision Making Encounter Tool for Weight Management Decisions

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to develop, in close collaboration with stakeholders, an evidence-based decision aid to inform discussions regarding the treatment of obesity (Obesity Choice).

10. Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry (POWER) Study

    Rochester, Minn.

    The main objective of this study is to establish a national pediatric obesity registry known as POWER (Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry). This registry will contain clinical data from individual comprehensive pediatric weight management programs around the United States for overweight and obese youth.
