Body composition and blood vessel health in women with a healthy weight
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) affects blood vessel health in women who have a healthy body weight. The goal is to learn more about blood vessel function in this group.

This study compares people with normal weight to people with obesity who are otherwise healthy to understand how body weight affects gut bacteria, immune function, and blood vessel health. Results may help explain why some people with obesity stay healthier than others.
This study looks at how obesity affects tiny blood vessels and blood flow. It also checks whether a specific training/exercise approach changes these “microvascular” effects in premenopausal women who fit certain metabolic risk criteria.
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 looks at how the body’s metabolism changes after eating a high-fat meal, comparing differences between sexes. If you meet the health, diet, and medication rules, you may be asked to fast and have blood tests before and after the meal.
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 the change in hormones during menopause affects blood vessel and nerve health. It involves two visits to test how your body responds to certain changes, helping researchers understand women's heart health during this life stage.
