Brain insulin and immune response during exercise in overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how insulin works in the brain and how it affects the immune system when you exercise. It focuses on people who are overweight, and aims to better understand the connection between brain insulin and immune response during physical activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be above 28 kg/m² (classified as overweight or above).
- You should be generally healthy, without any known major disease.
- If you are a woman, you must be using a single-phase hormonal contraceptive (a method that releases a steady dose of hormones, like certain birth control pills).
- You must not have a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
- During a blood test, your hemoglobin level must be above 12 g/dL (women) or 14 g/dL (men) — this checks for anemia.

This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medicine) changes how the brain responds to insulin in people with different body sizes. It may help understand if this drug can improve brain function related to insulin.
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 checks if exercise training changes how your brain responds to insulin. You will do ergometer (stationary bike) training, and your brain activity will be measured before and after. It's for people who are not very active now and want to see how exercise affects brain metabolism.
This study looks at how your brain sends signals to your body, comparing healthy people and those who are overweight. You'll help researchers understand differences in nerve communication.
This study tests if adding nose spray insulin and exercise together improves blood sugar control and brain function in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
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.
