Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults to participate in a study about hormones from the heart that can help with heart health and metabolism. Participants will need to complete exercise and glucose tests to help researchers understand how these hormones work.

About This Trial
Natriuretic Peptides (NP) are hormones produced by the heart, and they have a wide range of favorable metabolic benefits. Lower levels of these hormones are associated with an increased likelihood of the development of diabetes and poor cardiometabolic health. Obese and Black individuals have \~30% lower levels of NP and are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) events as compared to…
