Insulin and immunity study for overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how insulin works in your brain to help your immune system during exercise. Researchers want to know if this process works differently in people who are overweight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be over 28.
- You must be using a single-phase hormonal contraceptive (like certain birth control pills).
- You should not have any major medical condition that a doctor thinks could pose a risk.
- Your hemoglobin levels must be normal (at least 12 g/dL for women, 14 g/dL for men).

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 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.
This trial looks at how insulin resistance works in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand the condition better and find new ways to manage it.
