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 trial tests how different types of food (carbohydrates, fat, protein) affect blood fat levels after meals. It is for people who are healthy, have metabolic syndrome, lipodystrophy, or nephrotic syndrome, and want to understand how their body processes fats.
This study examines how the body processes food and energy in people with severe obesity (BMI of 60 or higher). Participants will eat prepared meals and undergo various tests to help researchers understand metabolic health and develop better treatments.
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 looks at how ultra-processed foods affect your body's metabolism. You will eat study-provided foods for a short time so researchers can measure changes in your blood and energy use.
