Study links between abnormal blood fats and health risks
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at why triglycerides and cholesterol can be abnormal and how that may affect organs like nerves, liver, and metabolism. You may be included if you already take a statin, have certain triglyceride levels, diabetes, kidney disease, or specific lab patterns suggesting inherited fat disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are willing to be in one of the study groups based on your blood fat results
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have severe ongoing liver problems or active cancer
- Your thyroid condition is treated (or your thyroid levels are normal on treatment)
- You are not taking major medicines that strongly change blood fat levels (like certain antipsychotics or chemotherapy)
- You fit one of these lab/condition patterns: statin use (with diabetes or advanced kidney disease), very high triglycerides, or screening clues for inherited fat disorders

This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
This is a research study testing whether specific gene changes are linked to fatty liver and a cholesterol pattern that raises heart risk. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to develop these conditions and why, which could guide future prevention.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study looks at how cholesterol and triglyceride levels change in people with dyslipidemia (unhealthy cholesterol/fat levels). Researchers want to understand what different causes mean for long-term health.
This study checks how common fatty liver disease is in people with a genetic form of high cholesterol. It may help researchers understand the link between these two conditions.
