Insulin Resistance clinical trials at UCSF
3 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Tissue-specific Insulin Resistance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Role of Hypoxia
open to eligible people ages 19-100
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with significant adverse health outcomes. Our overarching hypothesis is that patients with OSA and hypoxia (H-OSA) have greater degrees of insulin resistance in both liver and adipose tissue when compared to those without hypoxia (NH-OSA) thus leading to increased risk for the development of diabetes in the former group.

PCOS & Insulin Resistance Exercise Study
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This study evaluates the feasibility and metabolic effects of implementing a structured exercise program in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance. Participants will be randomized to either 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.

Insulin Resistance in HCV Infection
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The study hypothesis is that the means by which HCV induces glucose intolerance is through impairment of B-cell function and compensatory hyperinsulinemia in predisposed Latinos with insulin resistance and that HCV eradication improves these abnormalities. It is also hypothesized that moderate alcohol consumption impact insulin sensitivity and secretion with Latinos with or without HCV infection.
