Mayo clinic investigates why belly fat Won't 'Turn Off'

NCT ID NCT06175403

First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026

Summary

This study looks at why fat cells in the belly area don't respond normally to signals that should stop them from releasing fat. Researchers will give niacin to overweight adults and measure how fat tissue from different body areas reacts. The goal is to better understand the biology behind weight gain patterns, not to test a treatment.
