Scientists probe Nerve-Blood flow link in insulin resistance
NCT ID NCT03318094
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at how the body's 'fight or flight' nerve signals might block insulin from opening up blood vessels, which can make it harder for muscles to take up sugar. Researchers will temporarily block these nerve signals in the forearm to see if blood flow and insulin action improve. The study involves 36 adults with obesity and insulin resistance, but does not test a new treatment—it aims to better understand the problem.
