Calorie restriction and bone marrow fat in obesity and diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a calorie-restricted diet can change the fat in your bone marrow and how it relates to bone health and energy use. It is for premenopausal women and men who are either obese or lean and do not have diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who still has periods (premenopausal) or a man between 25 and 55 years old.
- You do not have diabetes (type 1 or 2).
- You are either in the obese group (BMI between 30 and 42) or the lean control group (BMI between 19 and 25).
- You are not taking any of the listed medications that affect bone or metabolism (like insulin, steroids, or bisphosphonates).
- You have no metal implants or pacemaker, and are not claustrophobic (safe for an MRI).

This study uses a special lab test on tiny samples from body fat to map different cell types and “senescent” (aging) cells. It may help researchers understand how aging and obesity are linked, which could guide future treatments.
This study looks at how fat is processed in the body for people with different health conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve treatment by understanding these differences.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This study looks at how losing weight affects the fat that sits inside your muscles (called intermuscular fat). It might help people with overweight to better understand how weight loss can improve muscle health.
This study looks at how fat cells in the belly release fat. Researchers want to learn more about fat breakdown in people who are overweight or obese. If you join, you may get a drug that helps them measure fat activity.
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
