NCT ID NCT03318094
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at how the tightening of blood vessels (called sympathetic vasoconstriction) may reduce the ability of insulin to widen blood vessels and take up sugar. Researchers will test this by temporarily blocking the tightening signal in the forearm of 36 adults with obesity and insulin resistance. The goal is to better understand the body's response, not to provide a treatment.
