How cells talk to adjust insulin for weight
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how cells in the pancreas communicate to help the body produce enough insulin when you have insulin resistance (weight-related). It tests a peptide to see how this communication works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how insulin and glucagon (hormones that control blood sugar) affect the liver. It may help us understand how the body regulates sugar and could lead to better treatments for diabetes.
This study tests an investigational injectable medicine (IN-B00009) to see how well it controls blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes that is not well managed by diet and exercise alone. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug and will be monitored closely to see if it helps lower your blood sugar safely.
This trial tests an oral medication that may help your body respond better to insulin. It's for people with type 1 diabetes who use an automated insulin pump and are willing to take a daily pill for 12 weeks.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, affects blood sugar levels in people with borderline high blood sugar (prediabetes). It may help find new ways to prevent diabetes.
This study looks at how a medication that mimics a natural gut hormone affects brain activity related to appetite in people with healthy weight or obesity. It may help researchers find new ways to treat obesity.
This study looks at how the body makes insulin during pregnancy to understand why some women get gestational diabetes. If you join, you'll have some extra blood tests during pregnancy and after birth to help researchers learn more.
