Studying fat cell particles in obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 collects small tissue samples during certain abdominal surgeries to better understand what drives severe obesity and related blood-sugar patterns. If you agree to the extra sampling, your information and samples may help researchers build a “biological atlas” that could guide future treatments.
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 study measures how “brown fat” works in the body using planned medical procedures. It looks at healthy adults to understand brown fat activity and what affects it.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
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 study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
