This phase 2 trial tests whether dulaglutide, a drug used for type 2 diabetes, can improve small blood vessel function in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study involves 47 participants aged 18-40 with long-standing type 1 diabetes. Researchers measure blood flow and insulin sens…

This study looks at whether aerobic exercise can help people with stage II or III colon cancer tolerate more of their planned chemotherapy. About 219 participants who have had surgery and are about to start chemo will be randomly assigned to an exercise program or a control group…

This study looks at how exercise changes the amount of sugar the liver makes in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Researchers will measure liver sugar production during rest and exercise in 12 adults aged 25-55. The goal is to better understand how exercise hel…

This study aims to find new signs in muscle cells that help explain why the body stops responding well to insulin, a condition called insulin resistance. Researchers will study 36 adults aged 30 to 65, including lean individuals and those with obesity, using advanced cell analysi…

This study is testing new ways to use MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to get better pictures of body fat and tissue structure. Researchers will scan 250 healthy volunteers aged 12 to 89 to see how well these advanced imaging methods work. The goal is to improve how we mea…

This study looks at how 12 weeks of endurance exercise affects fat tissue quality and insulin sensitivity in 70 men and women with obesity. Researchers will take small samples of fat and muscle, and use a glucose test to measure insulin response. The goal is to understand how exe…
