Vitamins E and C for brain inflammation in obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking vitamins E and C can reduce brain inflammation linked to obesity. Researchers will compare how these vitamins affect weight-related hormones in Mexican adults with and without obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man or woman of Mexican origin, aged 40 to 59.
- Have obesity: a BMI above 30, plus a high waist measurement and body fat percentage.
- OR be a healthy-weight adult with a BMI below 25 and healthy waist and body-fat levels (as a comparison group).
- Not be taking vitamin supplements or multivitamins right now.
- Not be in any active weight-loss program (medication, diet, or exercise).
- Have no kidney disease, liver disease, or any condition requiring medicine for inflammation.

This study tests whether eating avocado instead of refined carbohydrate foods (like white bread and sugary snacks) can reduce inflammation markers in your blood. If you have some signs of inflammation and extra weight around your middle, this might help researchers understand if avocado is a helpful dietary change.
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.
