Insulin effects on blood vessels in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how insulin affects blood vessels in people with obesity compared to healthy weight adults. It aims to understand early blood vessel changes that may lead to heart problems, which could help improve prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You either have obesity (BMI 30-45, larger waist, and insulin resistance) or you are a healthy weight adult (BMI 18-25) with normal insulin levels.
- You do not have diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
- You have no history of heart disease, stroke, or nerve disease.
- You are not currently smoking or using tobacco/nicotine products.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no bleeding or clotting disorders.

This study looks at how insulin affects blood vessels in people with obesity compared to healthy weight adults. It may help understand why obesity increases heart disease risk.
This study looks at how very small particles in the body (“extracellular vesicles”) relate to insulin action and how the body handles sugar. It may help researchers understand why some people have better or worse insulin responses.
This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medicine) changes how the brain responds to insulin in people with different body sizes. It may help understand if this drug can improve brain function related to insulin.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
