Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults aged 30 to 80 with type 2 diabetes or obesity. Participants will help researchers understand how extracellular vesicles impact blood flow and metabolic health, and whether exercise can make a difference.

About This Trial
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a role in obesity-induced insulin resistance and likely impact the development of cardiovascular disease. However, little is known on how EVs affect vascular insulin action in people. The purpose of this study is to understand how EVs play a role in type 2 diabetes related cardiovascular disease. This research will also study if exercise can change how EVs impact …
