MRI study of heart and brain energy in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of MRI to look at how your heart and brain use energy, in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand the effects of a common diabetes drug called semaglutide, which could help guide better treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your blood lactate level is between 2 and 5 mmol/L (a routine blood test will check this)
- Your blood pressure is well controlled (below 130/80)
- You have no history of heart or blood vessel disease, or complications from diabetes
- You either take semaglutide 0.5 mg weekly, or (if not) your most recent A1c (blood sugar average) is between 7 and 9%
- You are willing to undergo an MRI scan (no pacemaker, defibrillator, or severe claustrophobia)

This study uses special MRI scans to see how the diabetes medication semaglutide affects muscles and fat. If you are starting semaglutide for type 2 diabetes, this research may help doctors understand how the medicine works.
This study uses MRI scans to look at a specific brain circuit (the Papez loop) in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand how diabetes might affect brain networks related to memory and emotion.
This trial tests whether semaglutide changes blood flow in the brain and the brain’s “barrier” (how well the brain is protected) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand brain-related effects of diabetes treatment using scans and blood tests.
This study looks at whether the way the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with type 2 diabetes can improve, and whether changes track with tighter diabetes treatment. You may get brain scans (MRI/MRS) and diabetes monitoring to see if there’s “reversibility” in the brain’s sugar transport.
This study tests if a treatment can improve the blood-brain barrier in adults with type 2 diabetes. It uses MRI scans to see changes and may help protect brain function.
This study uses a heart scan (MRI) to learn more about how the heart is affected in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers better understand changes in the heart over time and who might benefit from future care.
