Gut, Immune, and Vascular Health in Metabolically Healthy Obesity (NCT07559227)
Impaired Gut-Vascular Axis as a Unique Driver of Cardiovascular Disease in Metabolically Healthy Obesity
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators seek to better understand how a single high-fat meal impacts gut, immune, and vascular outcomes in individuals with "metabolically healthy obesity" (obesity and largely normal cardiometabolic profile) and "metabolically healthy normal-weight individuals." Second, the investigators seek to understand how a prebiotic fiber (inulin) impacts gut, immune, and vascular outcomes in individuals with "metabolically healthy obesity."
