Stable Isotopes- Adults With Obesity

Description

In a crossover design, 8 participants will receive caloric drinks containing stable isotopes. In one arm of the study, participants will consume 6 hourly drinks containing two stable isotopes. Repeated blood, breath, urine, and muscle biopsies will be taken. In the second arm, participants will consume 1 drink containing 75g glucose, labeled with two stable isotopes of glucose. Periodic blood and breath will be taken over three hours.
