We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") 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…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") 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…
This study is for patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD which may cause reflux or heartburn. Symptoms are often caused by a weak valve, or sphincter, between the esophagus (the swallowing tube that leads from your mouth to your stomach) and the stomach.
