Oleic acid's effect on cholesterol metabolism in women with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of fatty acid (oleic acid) can change how the body handles cholesterol in women with obesity who are having weight-loss surgery. It will help researchers understand if this nutrient can improve cholesterol metabolism and reduce insulin resistance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have obesity (BMI ≥35 with a related health problem, or BMI >40).
- You are of European descent (both parents are of European origin).
- You have at least two signs of insulin resistance (like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low good cholesterol, or high triglycerides).
- You are planning to have bariatric surgery at Nantes University Hospital and are not taking certain medications or supplements that affect cholesterol.

This study looks at how cortisol and bile acids are processed in non-menopausal women with obesity. The goal is to understand metabolism differences and potentially guide future treatments or dietary/medication approaches.
This trial explores how certain natural fats in the body might affect diseases linked to obesity, such as breast cancer. It aims to see if these fats can reduce inflammation and improve health.
This study looks at liver fat and how to manage it in people with obesity. It may help find better ways to treat fatty liver disease.
This early-phase study will raise fatty acid levels temporarily and see how the brain uses glucose (sugar) and processes energy. It may help researchers understand how metabolism in the body can change brain function.
This study looks at how the body releases tiny particles called exosomes from the upper arm after a meal, specifically in women with obesity. It helps researchers understand how fat tissue responds to eating.
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.
