Studying Phenotypic Risks for Obesity and Underlying Traits in Young Infants (NCT07096011)
Studying Phenotypic Risks for Obesity and Underlying Traits in Young Infants: A Pilot Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this research study is to understand how infants metabolize different meals and to develop clinical tools which identify infants as having two different phenotypes. The phenotypes are the 1) metabolic "thriftiness" and 2) the metabolic flexibility.
