Can a prebiotic fiber protect hearts in 'Healthy' obesity?

NCT ID NCT07559227

First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a single high-fat meal affects the gut, immune system, and blood vessels in people with metabolically healthy obesity (obesity but normal blood sugar and cholesterol) compared to normal-weight individuals. It also tests whether taking a prebiotic fiber (inulin) for six weeks can improve these measures. The goal is to understand why some people with obesity may still face heart risks, even when their metabolic numbers look good.
