How fitness and body fat affect blood sugar and blood vessels after inactivity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your fitness level and body fat affect blood sugar and blood vessel health when you are less active than usual. You'll be asked to ride an electric scooter to reduce your activity, so we can learn how your body responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You are physically active – walking more than 1 mile a day (over 7,000 steps) on a regular basis.
