Weight loss and muscle fat study for adults aged 18-70
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how losing weight affects the fat that sits inside your muscles (called intermuscular fat). It might help people with overweight to better understand how weight loss can improve muscle health.
