Understanding insulin resistance in healthy adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study will look at how insulin resistance works in the body by studying healthy adults. You may help researchers find new ways to understand and treat conditions like diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 55 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- You are generally healthy with no ongoing chronic medical conditions.
- You do not smoke or use nicotine now or in the last 5 years.
- You are willing to avoid high levels of exercise and certain medications during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how physical activity affects how your body responds to insulin in healthy men aged 22-35. If you are a non-smoking man with a BMI between 28 and 35 and a certain fitness level, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how the body adapts in people with different body weights and insulin sensitivity. It compares lean adults and those with obesity, with or without insulin resistance, to understand metabolism better. Participation involves a few visits and some tests.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
This study looks at how genes affect the way muscles use sugar, which can help understand insulin resistance. Participants will have tests and procedures, including a glucose drink test and a muscle biopsy, to see how their bodies handle sugar.
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
