Testing special foods for people at risk of metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether foods with antioxidants, prebiotic fibers, and oat beta-glucans can help people who are at risk for metabolic syndrome. It looks at measures like waist size, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to see if these foods improve health markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if combining intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and physical activity can help manage metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). If you have at least three of five specific health issues (like belly fat, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and are an adult aged 18 or older, you may be able to join.
This study tests if eating only within a shorter daily window, combined with personalized nutrition advice, can improve metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and excess belly fat. You may qualify if you're an adult who eats over 14 hours a day and has at least three of the listed health markers.
This trial tests whether taking a daily drink containing short-chain fatty acids can improve risk factors for metabolic syndrome, like belly fat, high blood sugar, or high blood pressure. It might help if you are at risk but not yet taking medications for these conditions.
