Study of how insulin resistance affects blood fats
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent.
- Your body weight is in the overweight range (BMI 25 to 30).
- Your fasting triglycerides are moderately high (1.5 to 3.0 mM).
- Your fasting insulin is high (more than 64 pM), suggesting higher insulin resistance risk.
- Your weight has stayed about the same for at least 3 months before joining.

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.
This study looks at how sending certain fats through the intestine affects “insulin resistance,” a condition where the body doesn’t use insulin as well. If you qualify, you may receive a controlled lipid (fat) delivery as part of measuring body fat handling and related body chemistry.
This study tests how specific foods impact your body's ability to manage blood sugar and fat levels. You'll eat meals provided by the research team for about 12 weeks to help researchers understand which foods work best for people with high triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and insulin resistance (difficulty managing blood sugar).
This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
This study looks at how very small particles in the body (“extracellular vesicles”) relate to insulin action and how the body handles sugar. It may help researchers understand why some people have better or worse insulin responses.
This study tests if lowering insulin levels can reduce fat buildup in the liver for people with a fatty liver condition called MASLD. It's looking for adults who are overweight and have early signs of insulin resistance but not diabetes.
