Fatty infusion study seeks to unlock secrets of insulin resistance
NCT ID NCT03818178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different types of fat affect how muscles respond to insulin. Healthy adults will receive infusions of palm oil or a fat emulsion through a tube into the intestine overnight. Researchers will then take small muscle samples to see how the fats are stored and how they affect insulin signaling. The goal is to better understand what causes muscle insulin resistance, a key factor in type 2 diabetes.
