Inflammation, heart disease, and diabetes study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation affects heart disease and diabetes. It may help find new ways to prevent or treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a body mass index (BMI) that is either between 18.5 and 24.9 (lean) or between 35 and 50 (obese, planning gastric bypass surgery).
- You do not smoke, take fish oil supplements, or have certain medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or inflammatory diseases.
- You are not pregnant and have no significant stomach or bowel problems.
- You are willing to stop taking dietary supplements that affect inflammation for one week before study visits.
- If you are in the obese group, you have not lost more than 8% of your body weight since referral for surgery or more than 3% in the last 4 months.

This study examines how your body naturally resolves inflammation, which is important for heart health and conditions like diabetes. It involves blood draws and tests to understand how inflammation works.
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.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with obesity and either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. You may be enrolled in one of these glucose groups, and the researchers will monitor changes before and after surgery.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
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.
