First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at how haloperidol, an antipsychotic medication, may interfere with insulin's normal action in the brain. Insulin helps control blood sugar and supports brain function, but long-term use of haloperidol can lead to weight gain and diabetes. Researchers will give healthy volunteers haloperidol and measure brain activity and metabolic markers to understand this effect, with the goal of reducing future metabolic risks for patients.
