This study tests whether a diabetes medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor can reduce inflammation in body fat and improve blood vessel function in people with metabolic syndrome. It may help prevent heart disease and other complications.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help people with obesity lose weight. It is for people who do not have diabetes and have not used weight loss treatments in the past year.
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a medication typically used for diabetes, can help people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). It may improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
This trial studies an herbal supplement called fenugreek (a spice seed) to see if it can help improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in people with metabolic syndrome. You may be asked to take the supplement or a placebo (inactive pill) for a period of time.
This trial tests whether foods with antioxidants, prebiotic fibers, and oat beta-glucans can help people who are at risk for metabolic syndrome. It looks at measures like waist size, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to see if these foods improve health markers.
This study tests if combining intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and physical activity can help manage metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). If you have at least three of five specific health issues (like belly fat, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and are an adult aged 18 or older, you may be able to join.
