The city of Columbia, Missouri, currently has 2 active clinical trials seeking participants for Type 2 Diabetes research studies.
Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: * screening visit * imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] and... Read More
