Study tests muscle fuel patterns in adults with BMI 25–30
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your muscles use fuel during exercise by measuring blood lactate. It may help researchers understand “metabolic inflexibility” and why some people rely more on fast, short-lasting energy during activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 50 years old
- Have a BMI between 25 and 30 (a measure of body size)
- Have blood lactate results that fall in the top or bottom 25%
- Not be pregnant
- Do not have conditions like diabetes (type 1 or type 2) or heart disease

This study looks at how losing weight affects the fat that sits inside your muscles (called intermuscular fat). It might help people with overweight to better understand how weight loss can improve muscle health.
This study uses a special test (stable isotopes) to learn about how adults with obesity process food and energy. It may help researchers understand weight and metabolism better.
This study looks at how the body handles energy and health in people with severe obesity (BMI of 60 or higher). It involves eating pre-made meals to see how your body responds, which may help improve future treatments.
This study checks how reliable routine lab tests and research techniques are for metabolism research. It may help you if you are a healthy adult with a stable weight and no major health conditions.
This study looks at how your body responds to exercise if you have obesity. It may help researchers understand which changes happen with exercise and how safe it is for people in your age group.
This trial looks at how high lactate levels (a natural chemical in your body) affect the way your body uses fat and sugar. It is for people with metabolic syndrome who are already physically active.
