Adaptive Mechanisms in Grown-Up Obesity (AMIGROS)
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body adapts in people with different body weights and insulin sensitivity. It compares lean adults and those with obesity, with or without insulin resistance, to understand metabolism better. Participation involves a few visits and some tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You have a BMI between 18 and 25 (lean) or 30 and 38 (overweight/obese).
- Your fasting insulin is either below 9 (if lean or overweight without insulin resistance) or above 9 (if overweight with insulin resistance).
- Your fasting glucose is below 6.1 mmol/L (not pre-diabetic or diabetic).
- You are weight-stable (no more than 5 kg change in the last 3 months).
- You speak Swedish fluently and can follow instructions.

This is an observational study that follows generally healthy adults to understand how inflammation, diabetes (type 2), and weight/metabolic health relate to each other. It may help researchers figure out why different groups (including different ethnic backgrounds) have different health risks.
This study looks at how diabetes and obesity affect people of different ages. It aims to better understand these conditions to help improve future care and treatments.
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 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 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 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.
