Study of how obesity affects insulin resistance over time
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 65 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 to 35
- Your weight has been stable (no major change in the last 12 weeks)
- You do not have diabetes
- You do not have major organ disease or a history of weight-loss surgery like bariatric surgery or liposuction
- Your recent screening labs and measurements are within limits (blood sugar, blood count, and blood pressure)

This is an observational study that follows generally healthy adults to understand how inflammation, diabetes (type 2), and weight/metabolic health relate to each other. It may help researchers figure out why different groups (including different ethnic backgrounds) have different health risks.
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 fat is processed in the body for people with different health conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve treatment by understanding these differences.
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 tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
