¿Está buscando un tratamiento para su condición de hígado graso no alcohólico (NAFLD, por sus siglas en inglés) o para la esteatohepatitis no alcohólica (NASH, por sus siglas en inglés)? Investigadores de los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud, buscan voluntarios para participar en este estudio. Por 30 semanas, los participantes recibirán semaglutide (medicina usada para la diabetes tipo 2), esto podría mejorar su hígado y ayudarle a perder peso. El estudio espera entender mejor el daño del hígado y los mejores tratamientos para las personas con estas condiciones.

Join a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research study seeking mean men who have a genetic risk factor for developing prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer.

Thyroid cancer accounts for the vast majority of all types of cancer and little is known about the possible genes that may cause the cancer. An estimated 5% of all thyroid cancers are hereditary. If three or more first-degree relatives are affected, there is a greater than 94% chance that these cases are familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC). Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a research study to develop the best ways to evaluate, determine best screening strategy, and identify genes that may indicate vulnerability to FNMTC.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center seeks volunteers with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to join a research study. If your diabetes has affected your eyes, kidneys, or other organs you may be interested in participating. Researchers want to learn how the body controls vitamin C levels in those with diabetes.

Dr. Kevin Hall and his team at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) are seeking male volunteers aged 18-65 and female volunteers aged 18-50 for a study on how low-carb (ketogenic) diets, with or without an investigational dietary supplement called Nicotinamide Riboside, impacts energy levels and metabolism during sleep.
