Investigating Whether Acute Elevation of Fatty Acid Levels Alters Cerebral Glucose Transport and Metabolism

The goal of this study is to understand the role of brain glucose transport in individuals with obesity and the association with cerebral hypometabolism and these individuals' response to plasma glucose elevations. The main premise is that obesity leads to reduced brain glucose transport and that we can measure this reduction with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). The secondary premises are that this reduction is driven by elevated non esterified fatty acids which act to turn on specific signaling pathways that regulate brain GLUT1 levels.

How this works

  1. Answer a few questions

    About 5 to 10 minutes. Skip-friendly where possible.

  2. We forward your profile to the study team

    They see only the answers needed to decide if you can be screened.

  3. The team reaches out to schedule screening

    Usually within a few business days, via the contact you give.

We save your progress under this email so you can come back later, and the study team uses it to reach you.
