Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07097506RecruitingPhase 2
Ketone drink for liver fat and health
This study tests whether a daily ketone ester drink can reduce liver fat and improve metabolism in people with excess liver fat. You may join if you are 18–40, have overweight or obesity, and your liver has extra fat.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–40 - NCT03386981Recruiting
Study of bone health patterns in healthy adult athletes
This study looks at what bone “profiles” look like in healthy adult athletes. It may help researchers better understand how normal bone health varies in people who are physically active.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03520699Recruiting
Metabolic surgery registry for sleeve or bypass patients
This registry collects information from people who plan to have metabolic surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. It may help doctors learn which approaches work best and improve care over time.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT03669809Recruiting
Study of how body timing affects metabolism
This trial looks at how “biological rhythm” (your body’s timing over the day and night) relates to metabolism, or how your body processes energy. It may help researchers understand whether timing patterns affect health and metabolic functions.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–30 - NCT03951311Recruiting
Diet and lifestyle study for people with weaker heart pumping
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–90 - NCT07703683Recruiting
Muscle health in metabolic and hormone diseases
This trial looks at how muscle health is affected by metabolic or hormone disorders, aiming to find better markers for muscle loss called sarcopenia.
Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-WoluweAges 18 years+ - NCT07702123Recruiting
Physical activity study for women with Behcet's and metabolic syndrome
This study tests if a physical activity program helps women who have both Behcet's disease and metabolic syndrome. It aims to improve their health and well-being.
Giza, DokkiAges 40–50 - NCT07703371Recruiting
Kodo millet porridge and its effect on gut health and metabolic syndrome
This study tests whether eating Kodo millet porridge every day for 12 weeks can improve gut health and reduce risk factors for metabolic syndrome (like being overweight).
