NCT ID NCT03695315
First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looked at 48 non-diabetic adults with obstructive sleep apnea to see if those with low oxygen levels (hypoxia) have greater insulin resistance in the liver and fat tissue. Researchers measured how the body makes new fats and stored fat in the liver using special scans and stable isotope tests. The goal was to understand why some people with sleep apnea are more likely to develop diabetes.
