Exercise and Brain Insulin Sensitivity Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks if exercise training changes how your brain responds to insulin. You will do ergometer (stationary bike) training, and your brain activity will be measured before and after. It's for people who are not very active now and want to see how exercise affects brain metabolism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medicine) changes how the brain responds to insulin in people with different body sizes. It may help understand if this drug can improve brain function related to insulin.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
This study looks at how your metabolism (how your body uses energy and controls blood sugar/fats) changes during weight loss, comparing weight loss alone versus weight loss plus exercise. It may help researchers understand what body changes happen with different approaches and why.
