NCT03125356

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether eight weeks of low-calorie sweetener (LCS) exposure exerts cardiovascular and/or metabolic effects among LCS-naïve overweight and obese adolescents and young adults. We will examine changes in gene expression in subcutaneous fat and will correlate these molecular changes with plasma biochemistry.
