About this study

Given the pervasiveness of Pediatric Obesity, it is imperative to understand its pathophysiology and develop alternative strategies to reverse this condition. Herein, investigators propose to elucidate the interaction between colonic fermentation and insulin resistance in modulating metabolism in youth with obesity.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
