Metabolic syndrome (METS)

This pilot study tests a personalized lifestyle program called PRISM for adults with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Participants follow a time-restricted eating schedule (eating all meals within an 8-hour window) and are later assigned extra lifestyle changes like phy…

This study tests whether a simple calculation from a standard blood test—the creatinine-to-body weight ratio—can predict fatty liver disease in people with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar th…

Researchers are testing whether a carbohydrate-rich clear drink given two hours before bariatric surgery helps patients with metabolic syndrome recover normal gastrointestinal function faster. About 208 adults scheduled for gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy will be randomly as…

This study will give fecal transplants to 90 people with recurrent C. difficile infection, ulcerative colitis, or metabolic syndrome. Researchers will use advanced tests on stool and tissue samples to track how donor bacteria settle in the gut and interact with the host. The goal…

This study looks at whether metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and excess belly fat) makes it harder to recover from a rotator cuff injury. Forty adults with rotator cuff tears will be split into two groups—those with and without metabolic syndro…

This study looks at how the amount and type of carbohydrates in your diet affect blood sugar, fats, and gut health. Twenty adults with or at risk for metabolic syndrome will eat four different carb diets in a random order. The goal is to understand which carb patterns are best fo…

This observational study looks at whether eating a diet that causes inflammation can make gum disease worse in people with metabolic syndrome. About 100 adults with metabolic syndrome will have their gum health checked and their diet analyzed using a special inflammation score. T…

This study looks at how metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and blood sugar) might make gum disease worse. Researchers will measure gum inflammation in 100 adults and compare it to their metabolic health. The goal is to see if a simple gum measure…
