Brain blood flow and sex differences in metabolism
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain differs between people with and without metabolic syndrome, and whether it varies by sex. You may be eligible if you are a healthy young adult or have metabolic syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You either are generally healthy (normal blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure) or you have metabolic syndrome (at least 3 of: large waist, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar).
- You do not smoke more than 5 cigarettes a month.
- You do not have serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or a history of seizures or head injury.
- You are not taking medications for blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol (birth control is okay).
- You are not allergic to lactose and do not need a magnesium-restricted diet.

This study looks at how exercise affects the arteries in people with metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol). It may help find ways to improve heart health.
This study measures how much oxygen your heart can use during stress and at rest using an MRI scan. It compares people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health risks) to people without those risks, to understand differences in heart function.
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 a dietary supplement designed for people with metabolic syndrome. It aims to see if the supplement can help improve key markers of metabolic health, like blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
This study looks at how the brain's blood vessels respond to changes in blood flow in healthy younger adults. It helps researchers understand normal brain aging.
This study looks at how blood vessels in the brain react when blood flow changes. It may help researchers understand how the brain adapts with age.
