Effect of PDE5 Inhibition on Adipose Metabolism in Humans
RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindTreatment
Summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of the effects of PDE5 inhibition with tadalafil on adipose tissue in obese individuals. Adipose metabolism will be measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and by aspirating a small amount of adipose to measure gene expression.
