Vitamin E processing in the blood during fat changes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body processes vitamin E when blood fat levels change, comparing healthy weight and overweight volunteers. It tests whether vitamin E metabolism is altered and may help guide nutrition or treatment for conditions linked to high cholesterol or diabetes.

This study looks at how different types of meals (with different amounts of fats, carbs, and protein) affect the levels of fats in your blood after eating. It may help researchers understand how to better manage conditions like metabolic syndrome, lipodystrophy, or nephrotic syndrome.
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 checks how reliable routine lab tests and research techniques are for metabolism research. It may help you if you are a healthy adult with a stable weight and no major health conditions.
This study looks at how the body’s metabolism changes after eating a high-fat meal, comparing differences between sexes. If you meet the health, diet, and medication rules, you may be asked to fast and have blood tests before and after the meal.
This study looks at how your body processes fat after eating and measures certain blood markers to understand who might develop diabetes or complications. You'll eat a high-fat meal and have blood drawn to help doctors identify early warning signs.
This study tests what happens to the liver and fat metabolism when you eat extra fat for a short time. It may help researchers understand how diet affects liver function and metabolism in otherwise stable adults.
