The primary objective of the proposed study is to investigate whether bumetanide therapy indeed reduces autistic symptomatology. Important secondary goals of this project are to determine whether bumetanide will improve specific behavioral,…
We hypothesize that formerly pre-eclamptic women have persistently increased angiotensin II sensitivity, sodium sensitivity, insulin resistance and sympathetic nerve activity together initially leading to susceptibility for early renal disease and…
Primary Objective: To study the change on performance on executive function and memory function (as measured on Neurocart), after an active challenge with methylphenidate (monoaminergic) and galantamine (cholinergic), compared to placebo, in…
The purpose of the study is to investigate wether long-term resveratrol supplementation (6 months) leads to improved insulin sensitivity (estimated by Matsuda Index) in people with overweight/obesity. In addition we will investigate effects of…
To study the effect of a nerve block of the infrapatellar nerve with local infiltration with lidocaine or saline on chronic anterior knee pain after tibial nailing.Secondairy objectives:- to measure knee pain on a VAS for eight different activities…
This study aims at (further) revealing the pathophysiology of intestinal IR in man, with a specific interest for the role of proteases and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), cellular and inflammatory changes, barrier function and intestinal…
In this trial we now aim to investigate comprehensively the effect of riboflavin supplementation on the abundance of F. prausnitzii and on other members of the gut microbiota in faeces of healthy volunteers. Additionally we will assess whether…
Primary objective: To investigate the effect of supplementation of a single intramuscular dose of 80 mg triamcinolone on the level of MPT-induced dynamic hyperinflation, in adult asthma patients with demonstrated dynamic hyperinflation. (Part 1)…
We hypothesize that PD patients with and without tremor have different patterns of midbrain structural integrity in (dopaminergic) nuclei, different patterns of functional connectivity from midbrain to basal ganglia, differences in GABA-ergic tone…
To explore the inflammatory changes of a PCSK-9 inhibitor compared with placebo on postprandial lipemia and postprandial leukocyte activation, oxidative stress and endothelial function in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Our objective is to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate the neural changes after repeated transcranial direct current stimulation during an episodic memory task in patients with mild cognitive impairment and in healthy age-matched…
This project consists of two related studies. The objective of part 1 is to investigate the effect of elevated plasma lactate levels that are sufficient to impair awareness of hypoglycemia on brain lactate concentrations during euglycemia and…
The primary objective is to assess feasibility of a food supplement (multispecies probiotic) placebo-controlled, randomised controlled, double blind intervention in pregnant women in their late second/third trimester of pregnancy, to reduce symptoms…
The primary objectives are to investigate whether L-carnitine infusion may rescue lipid-induced insulin resistance and whether L-carnitine infusion is improving metabolic flexibility in the state of lipid-induced insulin resistance. Furthermore,…
The primary objective is to evaluate whether 2.5 µg VD3 analogue (Zemplar® * Abbvie) in multiple subcutaneously administered doses induces a more favourable (read: anti-inflammatory) systemic immune modulation both in general parameters and allergen…
Main aim; to show that NicVAX attenuates nicotine induced CNS effects on brain activation and cognitive performance relative to placebo. The secondary aim; to evaluate how these changes in CNS stimulation alter subjective measures and the addictive…
To obtain more information about the effects of capsaicin and cinnamaldehyde on the intestine, these substances will be infused directly in the duodenum. Hereafter, the permeability of the intestine, gallbladder motility and the effects on satiety…
RationaleSince gamma band activity is thought to be an important mechanism in perceptual binding and cognitive function, interest in changes in gamma band activity in neuropsychiatric disorders has grown rapidly. Changes in gamma band oscillations…
The following research questions are formulated:A. Does exposure to cannabis (THC) result in an increased dopamine response in the striatum (as measured with PET)? And does cannabis use lead to an increase in psychotic experiences or symptoms?B. Do…
1. to study the effect of spironolacton and triamterene on blood pressure in anuric hemodialysis patients.2. to study the effect of treatment on body weight, serum elektrolytes, 24-hours sodium excretion, plasma aldosterone and renin concentrations…
