Metabolic Disease clinical trials at UC Davis
2 research studies open to eligible people
Daily Beef Intake, as a Component of a Heart-Healthy Diet on Cellular Zinc
“Volunteer for research and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!”
open to eligible people ages 55-70
The objective of the current study is to test the overarching hypothesis that the beef nutritive matrix is uniquely suited to direct dietary zinc to cellular compartments for improved metabolic function, leading to a greater effect on health outcomes. Specifically, whether beef, as a component of a healthy meal, will promote the absorption of zinc into cells, where the zinc will have greater effects on zinc-dependent metabolic processes supporting cardiovascular health. To maximize the observability of these beef-related effects, individuals who are 55- to 70-year-old who generally have a higher risk of zinc deficiency and cardiovascular disease will be enrolled.

Prescreening Study to Identify Potential Wilson Disease Participants for Gene-Editing Clinical Trial
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The aim of this study is to inform and improve future clinical trials in Wilson Disease (WD) by better understanding how patients with WD are living with and managing the disease, and by identifying key factors that shape their decisions to participate in clinical research.
