Funded Activity Summary

Young people with obesity often have no signs of cardiovascular disease but their organs, such as the heart, the kidneys and the blood vessels present early evidence of damage that can, in time, progress to confer cardiovascular risk. This study will look at the potential beneficial effect of a drug, by itself or in association with a low calorie diet, in reversing the progression of organ damage in young obese subjects.
