How dietary fat affects blood vessels in young adults with obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a type of fat called palmitic acid affects the way your blood vessels work. If you have obesity and are young (18–40), this trial may help understand early changes in your blood vessel health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be over 30 (this means obesity).
- You must be able to speak English.
- You must not have a BMI over 60.
- You must not have very high blood pressure (systolic ≥180 or diastolic ≥110 mmHg).
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how having a high body mass index affects blood vessel function and changes in DNA. It may help researchers understand why weight-related health risks happen and how bariatric surgery could help.
This study looks at how a type of fat called stearic acid affects blood vessel function. If you are an adult with overweight, you may be able to join to help understand how diet affects heart health.
This trial looks at how weight loss changes tiny particles released from fat cells and whether that improves blood vessel function. It may help understand how losing weight can protect your heart.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
This study tests whether early-life stress affects blood vessel function in young adults by looking at a type of cell stress called oxidative stress. It involves measuring how well your blood vessels work and may help understand why some people have higher heart risks.
