Study intermittent fasting and its effects on metabolism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how intermittent fasting affects your body's “metabolism” (how you use food and manage blood sugar/fats). It may help researchers understand whether this eating pattern changes metabolic health in people at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 21 and 45 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 21 and 29
- Your thyroid tests are normal

This study tests different types of intermittent fasting (like skipping some meals or eating only during certain hours) to see how they affect blood sugar, inflammation, and overall health in people with prediabetes. If you have higher-than-normal blood sugar but not diabetes yet, this trial might help you find a way to lower it.
This study looks at how a period of fasting changes the amount of energy your body burns at rest. It may help explain why fasting can affect weight and health.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve how your body releases and uses insulin if you have prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. It may help your blood sugar control without using insulin.
This study tests three different intermittent fasting plans over 4-6 weeks to see how they affect blood sugar, inflammation, and body composition in people with prediabetes. It aims to find an eating pattern that could help prevent type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting (alternating periods of eating and fasting) can help with weight loss and health in adults with obesity. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This study looks at how fasting affects your body's metabolism and immune system. It may help researchers understand if planned periods of not eating can improve health.
