Lactate levels and metabolism in active adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how high lactate levels (a natural chemical in your body) affect the way your body uses fat and sugar. It is for people with metabolic syndrome who are already physically active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are physically active (exercising at least 150 minutes per week).
- You have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (a condition with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and other risk factors).
- You are not pregnant or you are using contraception (if applicable).
- You do not have a chronic illness that prevents you from exercising.

This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how your red blood cells move lactate during exercise. It compares trained athletes to sedentary people to understand how fitness affects this process. You might help researchers learn more about exercise metabolism.
This study tests whether taking lactate (a natural substance) with a meal affects how your body absorbs nutrients and stores fat. It is for people with prediabetes who are not on glucose-lowering medication.
This study looks at how giving lactate (a natural substance your body makes) can help keep blood flowing to your heart and brain. If you are a healthy older adult, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about protecting these vital organs.
This study looks at how your muscles use fuel during exercise by measuring blood lactate. It may help researchers understand “metabolic inflexibility” and why some people rely more on fast, short-lasting energy during activity.
This study looks at how long-term aerobic exercise habits relate to brain health in healthy older adults. It compares people who have been very active for 30+ years to see what role exercise plays in protecting the brain as we age.
