Total-body PET scanner reveals hidden metabolism clues in fatty liver disease
NCT ID NCT07366710
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study uses advanced total-body PET scans to see how the body handles sugar and amino acids in healthy people and those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 36 adults aged 18-70 will receive a radioactive tracer by mouth or IV and have scans to track nutrient absorption and organ distribution. Some participants also get glucagon or placebo to test how the hormone affects metabolism. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes in NAFLD, not to treat it.
