Study Summary

This trial will study how fructose affects blood sugar and fat production.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with a BMI of 22-35 who are either healthy, prediabetic (HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.5%), or have high fasting insulin but not diabetes. Participants should not have had significant weight changes recently, be free from liver disease, hepatitis, HIV, cancer history, and cannot be pregnant or on certain medications.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to understand how fructose in meals affects fat synthesis and blood sugar levels by comparing the effects of meals with different fructose content and labeling (either low or high fructose labeled with pyruvate). The participants' response to these meals will help clarify fructose's role in metabolism.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary interventions without pharmaceutical drugs, side effects may include digestive discomfort related to meal consumption but are expected to be minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Do I meet the qualifications for taking part in this research endeavor?

"The requirements for being accepted into this medical trial necessitate that patients have insulin resistance and be a part of the 20-55 demographic. In total, 36 individuals will be granted entry to participate."

Answered by AI

Do elderly individuals aged 70 or above qualify for this experiment?

"This clinical trial requires that all participants are at least 20 years of age, but no older than 55."

Answered by AI

What objectives are researchers expecting to achieve from this trial?

"This 6-hour trial aims to assess Hepatic fractional de novo lipogenesis in triglyceride rich lipoprotein (TRL).
