Clinical Trial: Small Extracellular Vesicles and Insulin Action
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Obesity
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Effect of Small Extracellular Vesicles From Adipose Tissue on Insulin Action
Brief Summary:
The goals of this research study are to: 1) understand why some people with obesity are protected from developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease while others are more likely to develop obesity-related conditions; 2) assess the effect of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs also called exosomes), obtained from human participants, on metabolic function in cultured cells and in mice.
