Study of how men and women process a high-fat meal
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body’s metabolism changes after eating a high-fat meal, comparing differences between sexes. If you meet the health, diet, and medication rules, you may be asked to fast and have blood tests before and after the meal.

This study looks at how young, healthy adults break down food after eating. It uses blood tests and a metabolic challenge to measure energy use and chemical changes.
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 looks at how eating ultra-processed foods affects your body's metabolism. You'll receive meals and drinks to test your body's response.
This study looks at how a part of your brain called the hypothalamus reacts to eating meals with different amounts of fat. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI) to watch this response and better understand how diet affects brain inflammation and metabolism.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
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.
