Condition: Endocrine & Metabolic Disease
Investigator: Blandine Laferrere, MD, PhD
Status: Closed
This is a research study for subjects who have had gastric bypass surgery at least one year ago, and currently have type 2 diabetes. This study is looking at the treatment of diabetes after gastric bypass surgery. About 40% of patients do not experience diabetes…
Condition: Endocrine & Metabolic Disease
Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We are conducting a research study on how insulin controls blood sugar in both healthy people and those at risk of type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, aged 18-65, who have body mass indices either in the lean range (18-25 kg/m2) or in the obesity range (30-45 kg/m2) but who do not have pre…
Condition: Endocrine & Metabolic Disease
Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45, and have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for, pre…

Status: Closed
The purpose of these studies is to gain an understanding of the mechanisms that promote weight loss and improved glucose control. The ultimate goal is to identify therapeutic pathways for obesity and diabetes as a way to optimize surgical procedures and discover novel non-surgical targets for safe and effective drug therapy.…
Condition: Endocrine & Metabolic Disease
Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Closed
We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to induce temporary insulin…
