Study on Fructose Handling in Obesity
This study looks at how the body handles fructose (a natural sugar) in people with different weights. It may help explain why some people process sugars differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI must be either between 30 and 38 (for the obese group) or between 19 and 25 (for the lean group).
- You cannot have diabetes (type 1 or 2) or signs of it (fasting blood sugar over 126).
- No liver disease or elevated liver enzymes. Blood tests will confirm.
- No recent pregnancy or breastfeeding (within 6 months).
- No weight changes over 5% in the last 6 months.

This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
This study looks at how a sugar called fructose affects inflammation and metabolism in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASH. It aims to find out if fructose plays a role in making the disease worse.
This trial is testing how healthy adults process fructose (a type of sugar) as they age. You may participate if you are generally healthy and don't have certain conditions like gut diseases or metabolic problems.
This study looks at how fructose (a type of sugar) may affect fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in teens with obesity. The goal is to learn whether fructose changes liver health, using MRI/MRS scans to measure the liver.
This study looks at how different types of sugars affect fat buildup in the liver. It is for men who are either at a healthy weight or have obesity, and also for men with a specific amount of liver fat (mild to moderate fatty liver).
This study looks at how the body handles a sugar called fructose in people with and without fatty liver disease. It aims to understand how fructose contributes to liver fat buildup.
