Women sought for weight loss study

Researchers at Stanford’s General Clinical Research Center are investigating the relationship between insulin resistance and weight loss in healthy overweight women.

Overweight women interested in taking part in the nine-week study should be between 30 and 65 years old, in good health and with no history of diabetes. Stanford research dietitians will conduct the weight loss program and will provide participants with weight maintenance advice at the end of the study.
