Withdrawn study sought to test amino Acid's effect on insulin sensitivity
NCT ID NCT07329088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if adding the amino acid isoleucine to a healthy, low-isoleucine diet would change how the body responds to insulin in people with obesity and prediabetes. It planned to enroll adults with a BMI of 30 or higher who also had metabolic syndrome. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
