Fasting and meal-fat study in early pregnancy
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how fasting and eating affect a pregnancy’s fat levels in the belly and liver. It may help researchers understand how maternal metabolism could impact baby and pregnancy health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how women's bodies burn energy (thermogenesis) when they fast or eat a lot. Researchers want to understand how these processes differ in premenopausal vs. postmenopausal women.
This study looks at how babies' hearts work when mothers have been fasting for at least 10 days. It may help understand if fasting affects the baby's heart health.
This study looks at how fasting affects your body's metabolism and immune system. It may help researchers understand if planned periods of not eating can improve health.
This study follows pregnant women from early pregnancy to learn how pregnancy affects future health. It may help identify ways to prevent diseases later in life.
This trial tests if a lifestyle program (diet and activity changes) can help pregnant women who have slightly high blood sugar in early pregnancy. It aims to improve glucose levels and reduce complications for both mother and baby.
This study looks at how intermittent fasting affects your body's “metabolism” (how you use food and manage blood sugar/fats). It may help researchers understand whether this eating pattern changes metabolic health in people at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.
