How special carbohydrates affect hormone release in healthy adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating carbohydrates that digest slowly can naturally boost a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar and appetite. Researchers want to understand if this might help people manage their weight and metabolism.

This study tests whether adding certain carbohydrates that activate a natural hormone in the gut can help teenagers with obesity feel fuller and eat less. The goal is to see if this approach can make it easier to manage weight.
This study tests how your body responds to different types of starch (quick, slow, and resistant). You will follow special diet plans and use monitoring devices to understand your personal metabolic reactions.
This trial studies how different types of starch (carbohydrates) affect blood sugar control, inflammation, and gut health in people with insulin resistance. You may benefit if you are overweight, have insulin resistance, and are willing to follow a specific diet for 2 months.
This study looks at how a medication that mimics a natural gut hormone affects brain activity related to appetite in people with healthy weight or obesity. It may help researchers find new ways to treat obesity.
This study measures how your blood sugar changes after eating meals high in carbohydrates. You’ll likely use study apps and eat specific study foods, and results may help researchers understand what drives different blood-sugar responses.
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to see how two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, affect how your body uses sugar and moves blood. It includes healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin only.
