Study on fat metabolism in obesity and diabetes
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a type of immune cell (macrophage) in fat tissue processes lipids, and how that affects metabolism in people with different body weights. It may help us understand why some people with obesity develop diabetes and fatty liver while others do not.
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 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 tests whether reducing liver fat can improve health in people with type 2 diabetes. It looks at the effects of a specific medication combined with exercise, tailored for those who are not very active.
This study looks at blood cells and factors in people with metabolic diseases like fatty liver, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing them with healthy volunteers.
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.
