The endocrine system controls mood, growth and development, metabolism (how your body turns food into energy), and sexual function.

Diabetes occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough of the insulin hormone or can’t use it properly. Approximately 1 in 10 people live with diabetes, and that number continues to rise. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), another endocrine-related condition rapidly on the rise, now affects over 100 million people worldwide.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.
