Insulin suppression test for weight groups
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure how the body handles insulin in people with different body weights. It may help researchers understand insulin resistance better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a body mass index (BMI) between 18-25 or 30-45.
- You must be able to understand English or Spanish.
- Your fasting insulin level must be in a specific range (4-10 or 13 or higher) based on your weight group.
- You must not have diabetes or prediabetes (like high blood sugar or A1c).
- You must not be taking most diabetes medicines (except metformin) or certain heart medicines.

This study looks at how the body handles insulin in people who are insulin resistant. You will receive a special procedure called a pancreatic clamp to measure insulin sensitivity, which may help researchers understand and treat insulin resistance better.
This study tests if lowering insulin levels can reduce fat buildup in the liver for people with a fatty liver condition called MASLD. It's looking for adults who are overweight and have early signs of insulin resistance but not diabetes.
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.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
This study looks at how insulin affects blood vessels in people with obesity compared to healthy weight adults. It may help understand why obesity increases heart disease risk.
This study looks at how a medication that mimics a natural gut hormone affects brain activity related to appetite in people with healthy weight or obesity. It may help researchers find new ways to treat obesity.
