Fibrosis Lessens After Metabolic Surgery
💵 May compensate📍 Banner Health Center · Phoenix, AZ · +3 more US sites · Get directions →
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma.

In this study the investigators will quantitate hepatic mitochondrial fluxes in T2D patients with NAFL and NASH before and after 16-weeks treatment with the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
📍 Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center · Hershey, PA · Get directions →
Obesity is a global health concern that is associated with high blood pressure and an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug angiotensin-(1-7) can improve cardiovascular health in people with obesity and high blood pressure.

Our goal of the study is to learn the effects of the diabetes medication named Pioglitazone, in type-2 diabetic obese participants with Heart failure. The main question it aims to answer are: 1.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
Optimizing Portal Hypertension With TIPS and Interval Metabolic Surgery for Advanced Liver Disease
💵 May compensate📍 Cleveland Clinic Main Campus · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
📍 University of Missouri Hospital · Columbia, MO · Get directions →
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.

- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
📍 University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, TX · Get directions →
The purpose of this study is to understand how the nervous system communicates to blood vessels to increase blood pressure during stress. The study will also investigate how hypertension and obesity influence the nervous system and vascular function.

This study will provide insight into whether cardiac function changes with oral Ketone Esters (KE) administered to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Plasma ketones are avidly extracted by cardiac muscle and their uptake is not dependent upon insulin or influenced by insulin resistance.
