Cerebral blood flow and sex differences in metabolic syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares blood flow in the brain between healthy adults and those with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, extra belly fat, and abnormal cholesterol). It aims to understand how sex and metabolic syndrome affect brain blood flow, which may help improve future prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 food supplement to see if it helps improve markers of metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It might help you by improving your cholesterol, blood sugar, or other related health measures.
This study tests if combining intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and physical activity can help manage metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). If you have at least three of five specific health issues (like belly fat, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and are an adult aged 18 or older, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how metabolic syndrome affects the heart's upper chambers, which can help prevent strokes. It tests if certain heart changes are linked to kidney and metabolic issues.
