The state of Pennsylvania currently has 25 active clinical trials seeking participants for Type 2 Diabetes research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hershey and Allentown.
Brain Health in Youth With Normal Weight, Overweight and Obesity at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
Recruiting
Investigators propose to study youth across the spectrum of body mass index (BMI) and dysglycemia. This approach will allow investigators to disentangle the relationship of key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk (e.g. obesity) with intermediary physiologic changes (e.g. insulin resistance, inflammation, β-cell dysfunction and dysglycemia) that pose a risk for the brain. Investigators will determine which of these factors are most associated with differences in brain structure and function am... Read More
