Vitamin C study for insulin resistance in obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests whether vitamin C (and possibly how your body uses it) affects blood vessel function in people with obesity and insulin resistance. You may be asked to stop certain supplements before starting so researchers can measure the effect more clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 30
- You are between 35 and 65 years old
- You can stop vitamin C and E supplements and omega-3 supplements starting 2 weeks before the study
- You agree to sign a written informed consent form

This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
This study tests whether a medication that helps relax blood vessels can improve heart and metabolic health in Black adults with obesity and early signs of insulin resistance. It may help lower blood pressure and reduce risk of heart disease.
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
This trial tests an investigational drug called VCT220 in adults who have high blood pressure and are overweight or obese. The study will see if VCT220 can help lower blood pressure and support weight loss.
This trial looks at how the nerves that control blood pressure work in people with obesity and insulin resistance. It may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't.
This study looks at how insulin affects blood vessels and the brain in people with obesity and insulin resistance, compared to healthy-weight individuals. It may help explain why obesity raises heart and blood vessel risks.
