NCT ID NCT07012226

First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at how a low-calorie diet changes the activity of certain genes in white blood cells and affects heart health markers in 60 overweight adults with high triglycerides. Researchers measured gene expression and blood fat levels to compare people who lost a lot of weight versus those who lost only a little. The goal was to understand the biological differences between these groups, not to test a new treatment.
