Study of fat breakdown in overweight adults
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how fat cells in the belly release fat. Researchers want to learn more about fat breakdown in people who are overweight or obese. If you join, you may get a drug that helps them measure fat activity.

This early-phase trial tests how fat tissue in different parts of the body responds to insulin. It may help researchers understand why some people with obesity are more prone to health problems like diabetes or heart disease.
This early study looks at how insulin changes the body’s fat breakdown and related proteins. You might join if you’re within a certain body-weight range and can safely take the study medication.
This study looks at tiny particles released from fat tissue in people with and without obesity. It aims to understand differences that might help explain obesity-related health problems.
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 looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
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.
