Study of how mTOR affects insulin sensitivity in healthy men
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a body pathway called mTOR helps control how your body handles insulin and blood sugar. It’s done in healthy men to understand insulin sensitivity before testing approaches in people with health problems later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how physical activity affects how your body responds to insulin in healthy men aged 22-35. If you are a non-smoking man with a BMI between 28 and 35 and a certain fitness level, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how insulin works in your brain to help your immune system during exercise. Researchers want to know if this process works differently in people who are overweight.
This study will look at how insulin resistance works in the body by studying healthy adults. You may help researchers find new ways to understand and treat conditions like diabetes.
This trial tests two FDA-approved drugs, rapamycin and everolimus, to see if they can improve immune function in healthy older adults. You may join if you are generally healthy, live independently, and are between 65 and 90 years old.
This study looks at how rapamycin (a medication that affects a growth signal in the body) changes muscle responses when older adults do resistance exercise. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment could improve or alter muscle function with aging.
This study looks at how genes affect the way muscles use sugar, which can help understand insulin resistance. Participants will have tests and procedures, including a glucose drink test and a muscle biopsy, to see how their bodies handle sugar.
