Estrogen and exercise effects on blood sugar control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether estrogen affects how exercise improves blood sugar control in men. You would do supervised exercise sessions, and the researchers will measure your body's response to blood sugar and exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be male (with no prior hormone therapy) and between 18 and 35 years old.
- You should be a non-smoker and currently sedentary (exercising less than twice a week).
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 27 and 32, and your body fat percentage above 22%.
- You must not have any chronic diseases, recent major surgery, or a history of blood clots or cancer.
- You must avoid certain medications, including weight-loss drugs, anti-inflammatories, and hormone supplements.
- You should be free of conditions that could make exercise unsafe, like severe pain or heart problems.

This study looks at how the timing of exercise affects blood sugar after meals. If you are a healthy, active young adult, you may be able to help by doing treadmill running and wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
This study looks at how estrogen affects muscle growth when postmenopausal women exercise for 12 weeks. Researchers want to understand whether estrogen plays a role in helping muscles develop stronger during strength training.
This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense bursts versus longer, moderate workouts—to see which better manages blood sugar in people without diabetes or with prediabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor for 11 days while doing the exercises.
This trial tests whether a structured resistance (strength) exercise program can improve how your muscles respond to insulin, which helps control blood sugar. It might help if you are currently inactive and want to see the benefits of exercise on your metabolic health.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study checks if exercise training changes how your brain responds to insulin. You will do ergometer (stationary bike) training, and your brain activity will be measured before and after. It's for people who are not very active now and want to see how exercise affects brain metabolism.
