Check if a blood fat-sugar marker relates to heart function
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an index calculated from blood triglycerides and blood sugar (the triglyceride-glucose index) is linked to how the heart is working in people with obesity. It may help doctors better understand risk for heart problems by using a simple blood test.

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 early-phase trial tests how fat tissue in different parts of the body responds to insulin. It may help researchers understand why some people with obesity are more prone to health problems like diabetes or heart disease.
This study looks at how being overweight affects heart health. It tests a program that includes monthly check-ins and surveys, and is for people with a BMI of 30 or higher who also have a heart condition. The goal is to learn more about how to help people with both weight and heart concerns.
This study checks how reliable routine lab tests and research techniques are for metabolism research. It may help you if you are a healthy adult with a stable weight and no major health conditions.
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
This study examines whether a simple blood test measuring blood sugar and fat levels (the triglyceride-glucose index) can predict future heart problems in people who have had a heart attack without blocked arteries. The goal is to find better ways to monitor and treat these patients.
