Cholesterol response to a test meal
This study looks at how a specific gene (GPR146) affects how your body handles cholesterol and fats. You will eat a test meal and have blood samples taken to see how your body responds based on your genetic makeup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 25.0 (so you are at a healthy weight for your height).
- Your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure are within normal ranges (this will be checked with a blood test and a reading).
- Your weight has been stable (no more than 3 kg change in the last 3 months).

- You are a non-smoker and do not drink more than 10 (women) or 14 (men) alcoholic drinks per week.

This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This trial tests a new medicine, Artisterol, to see if it can lower cholesterol in people with mildly high levels. It may be an option if you haven't tried other treatments or can't take statins.
This is a research study testing whether specific gene changes are linked to fatty liver and a cholesterol pattern that raises heart risk. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to develop these conditions and why, which could guide future prevention.
This trial tests a nutritional supplement with bergamot, artichoke, and other natural ingredients to see if it can safely lower cholesterol in people with moderately high LDL. It may be an option for those not currently on other cholesterol treatments.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
This study tests a new drug called CG-0416 in healthy volunteers to see how safe it is and how the body handles it. The drug is given as a single dose or repeated doses, and researchers will monitor your health and cholesterol levels.
