Test of two oils on metabolism in adults with insulin resistance
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares an oil rich in linoleic acid (a type of omega-6 fat) against a blend oil to see which one better improves metabolism and heart health in people with insulin resistance. It may help if you have insulin resistance and at least one heart risk factor like belly fat, low good cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 60 years old.

- You must have at least one heart disease risk factor: large waist size, low good cholesterol, high bad cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
- You cannot have diabetes.
- You cannot be taking certain medicines like cholesterol-lowering drugs, blood pressure pills, or omega-3 supplements.

This study looks at how sending certain fats through the intestine affects “insulin resistance,” a condition where the body doesn’t use insulin as well. If you qualify, you may receive a controlled lipid (fat) delivery as part of measuring body fat handling and related body chemistry.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether a special olive oil rich in natural plant compounds (polyphenols) can improve metabolic health in people with belly fat. You may be eligible if you are an adult with overweight or obesity and have at least one related health issue like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or abnormal cholesterol.
This study tests if adding plant oils to a healthy diet can improve cholesterol and other heart health markers in people with moderately high cholesterol. It involves following a specific meal plan and having your health monitored over several weeks.
This trial tests if extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) can improve liver health in people with metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). It may help reduce fat in the liver and improve overall metabolic health.
