How Different Dietary Fats Affect Your Gut Health
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study examines how different types of dietary fats influence the bacteria in your gut and how your body processes nutrients. By participating, you'll help researchers understand the link between fat intake and digestive health in healthy adults.

This study looks at how a type of fat called stearic acid (found in foods like cocoa and animal fats) affects gut health and bile acids in postmenopausal women. You will eat provided meals and take a small pill, then collect stool samples to help researchers understand changes in your gut bacteria.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
This study tests whether eating more plant-based foods improves your gut bacteria, digestion, and heart health markers. You'll follow a structured diet plan for several weeks while providing blood, stool, and urine samples to measure changes.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria (microbiome) affect the way your body responds to a Mediterranean diet. If you are healthy and not currently following this diet, they will see how you respond to eating this way.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect your fat tissue and brain. You may be able to join if you are scheduled to have surgery to remove fat tissue and are willing to sign a consent form.
