Short-term extra fat intake to study liver metabolism
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests what happens to the liver and fat metabolism when you eat extra fat for a short time. It may help researchers understand how diet affects liver function and metabolism in otherwise stable adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial looks at how overfeeding affects fat tissue in healthy, inactive young adults. You may help researchers understand weight gain and metabolism.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
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 looks at how the liver's mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells) work in people with fatty liver disease. Participants will have an MRI scan and receive a small amount of fat solution through an IV to see how the liver processes fat.
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.
