Tiny fat cell particles may reveal how obesity harms blood vessels
NCT ID NCT06776081
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at tiny particles released from fat cells, called extracellular vesicles, and how they relate to blood vessel function in people with obesity. Researchers will compare normal-weight and obese adults, then have obese participants follow a 12-week weight loss diet. The goal is to see if weight loss reduces these particles and improves blood vessel health.
