Composition & Function of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Persons With the Metabolic Syndrome

Modulating Physiologic Effects Of Phospholipid Metabolism In Obesity And Diabetes; AIM 4: Composition and Function of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Persons With the Metabolic Syndrome

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Oct 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The investigators previous research has suggested that lipid (fatty) composition in the muscle cells of mice plays a key role in their insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to determine whether these specific fat signatures translate to humans by comparing the muscle of healthy patients to those with pre-diabetes, or "the metabolic syndrome".
