Stable isotope study in adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special test (stable isotopes) to learn about how adults with obesity process food and energy. It may help researchers understand weight and metabolism better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 59 years old.
- You have obesity (BMI 30 or higher) and a large waist measurement (at least 102 cm for men, 88 cm for women).
- You are not regularly physically active (scoring low on a simple exercise questionnaire).
- You are not pregnant, do not have food allergies, do not smoke, and have no known metabolic diseases.
- Your weight has been stable (no more than 10% change) in the last 6 months.
- If you are a woman, you have regular menstrual periods and are not on hormonal birth control.

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 checks how reliable routine lab tests and research techniques are for metabolism research. It may help you if you are a healthy adult with a stable weight and no major health conditions.
This study examines how the body processes food and energy in people with severe obesity (BMI of 60 or higher). Participants will eat prepared meals and undergo various tests to help researchers understand metabolic health and develop better treatments.
This study looks at how your body responds to exercise if you have obesity. It may help researchers understand which changes happen with exercise and how safe it is for people in your age group.
This study looks at how the body adapts in people with different body weights and insulin sensitivity. It compares lean adults and those with obesity, with or without insulin resistance, to understand metabolism better. Participation involves a few visits and some tests.
This study looks at how fat cells in the belly release fat. Researchers want to learn more about fat breakdown in people who are overweight or obese. If you join, you may get a drug that helps them measure fat activity.
