NCT ID NCT06721910

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looked at how interleukin-6, an immune system molecule, changes the way glucagon (a hormone) lowers amino acid levels in the blood. Twenty-six healthy adults received either a placebo or a drug that blocks interleukin-6, then had their amino acid and hormone levels measured during infusions. The goal was to understand basic body processes, not to treat any disease.
