Dr. Limberg’s Research Projects

The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting adults with and without obesity, who are otherwise healthy, non-nicotine users between the ages of 18-45 for a research study examining the effect of low oxygen (similar to sleep apnea). This study has one 30-minute screen visit via Zoom and one 5-hour research visit in MU-PAW (Gwynn Hall). Participants will be compensated for their time, effort and be provided with blood test and body composition results.

For more information, contact: research coordinator, LimbergLab@missouri.edu or 573-882-2544.

The Nutrition & Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting healthy men and women that are lean or obese, non-nicotine users, between the ages of 18-45 for a research study. This project examines how blood flow changes in response to low oxygen (similar to sleep apnea) in individuals of normal weight or with obesity. This study has one 30-minute screen visit via Zoom, one 30-minute in-person screen visit, and one 6-hour research visit at the Clinical Translational Research Unit. Participants will be compensated up to $250 after completion.

The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting healthy men and women between the ages of 18-45 for a research study examining the effect of insulin on brain and leg blood flow. This study has one 30-minute zoom meeting and one 6-hour research visit in MU-PAW. Participants will be compensated for their time and effort. Due to COVID-19, a number of precautions are in place to protect the health and safety for all individuals involved in research at MU.
