Study of neuregulin-4 levels in type 2 diabetes patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a protein called neuregulin-4 (NRG4) in the blood of people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if levels are different between obese and non-obese patients, which might help us understand the link between diabetes and obesity.
