The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 1-week of overeating on
important clinical metabolic health outcomes (e.g., glucose tolerance, blood lipid profile,
and blood pressure) and factors regulating the structure and metabolic function of fat
tissue. This study will determine how regular exercise during this overeating period impacts
these responses.

and blood pressure) and factors regulating the structure and metabolic function of fat

these responses.
If subjects are eligible and decide to participate, they will take part in two identical
study trials. One is scheduled before and the other is scheduled after 1 week of overeating
controlled by the study team. Subjects who exercise regularly will be instructed to exercise
the day before their first study trial - and they will be required to exercise during 6 of
the 7 days of the overeating period (including the day before their second study trial).
Subjects who do not regularly exercise (no planned physical activity) will remain inactive
until the completion of both study trials.
Before each study trial If a subject is a regular exerciser, they will be asked to come to
the Substrate Metabolism Laboratory in the afternoon before each of the 2 study trials to
exercise in the lab for 45 min at a moderate intensity. The evening before the study trial,
all subjects will need to eat a standardized dinner meal and snack. They must eat the meal
and snack at specific times as indicated by the research staff. After eating the snack,
subjects will need to fast (no food or beverages - besides water) overnight.
During each study trial Subjects will arrive at the Substrate Metabolism Laboratory at 7:00AM
and will rest quietly for approximately 30 min. After which, the study team will measure
their resting blood pressure and their resting metabolic rate. An intravenous catheter (IV)
will then be placed in a vein of the subject's hand or forearm for blood sampling. The
research team will then collect a small sample of fat tissue in the subject's abdomen with a
needle. Next, subjects will drink a sweet sugar solution for an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
(OGTT) and the research team will collect blood samples every 15 min for 3 hours. After this
3 hour test, the IV catheter will be removed and subjects will be provided breakfast and
discharged.
