Vitamins C and E for brain inflammation in obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking vitamins C and E can reduce markers of brain inflammation in people with obesity. It may help understand how these vitamins affect appetite and metabolism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how the nerves that control blood pressure work in people with obesity and insulin resistance. It may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't.
This early-stage study tests whether vitamin C (and possibly how your body uses it) affects blood vessel function in people with obesity and insulin resistance. You may be asked to stop certain supplements before starting so researchers can measure the effect more clearly.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C supplements helps improve gut barrier function in adults with obesity. You'll follow a low-fruit-and-vegetable diet for two, two-week periods.
This study tests whether omega-3 fatty acids can improve depression in people with obesity. It looks at how these healthy fats might reduce inflammation and help mood.
This study tests how the brain and body respond to “energy sensing” in people with depression and in people with different body weights. You may be asked to do assessments and follow specific health and diet rules so the researchers can compare groups.
This early-phase study will raise fatty acid levels temporarily and see how the brain uses glucose (sugar) and processes energy. It may help researchers understand how metabolism in the body can change brain function.
