Brain blood flow and lactate in obesity study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flow and lactate (a chemical your body makes) in the brain differ between people with a healthy weight and those with obesity. It may help researchers understand how weight affects brain function.
