Study of body fat, blood vessels, and DNA changes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how having a high body mass index affects blood vessel function and changes in DNA. It may help researchers understand why weight-related health risks happen and how bariatric surgery could help.

This study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
This study looks at how inflammation affects heart disease and diabetes. It may help find new ways to prevent or treat these conditions.
This trial looks at obesity care in people who have already had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or certain abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand what treatments or follow-up care could work best for you after surgery.
This study looks at how your body’s fat under the skin and inside the abdomen may affect “insulin resistance,” a common problem linked with blood sugar control. It’s for people who are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, to learn more before and after surgery.
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects fat metabolism, immune cells, and cancer risk in women with severe obesity and high cholesterol. If you are a woman aged 35–60, White or Black, with a BMI of 40 or higher and high triglycerides or LDL, you may be eligible.
