Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this study is to collect data to help researchers identify factors, such as certain proteins or genetic codes, that are secreted from muscle that are associated with the beneficial effects of exercise.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for healthy men and women aged 18-40 who don't have Type 2 Diabetes or significant diseases affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, or nerves. Participants must not use certain weight-affecting drugs and should be free from recent surgeries or conditions that affect blood flow. They can't smoke or consume alcohol/caffeine before tests.

Inclusion Criteria

I am between 18 and 40 years old and in good health.

Willing to stop alcohol and caffeine consumption for 48 hours preceding each blood draw

Exclusion Criteria

Abnormal resting ECG

Unwilling or unable to abstain from caffeine or alcohol 48 hours prior to metabolic rate measurements

Metal objects that would interfere with the measurement of body composition /magnetic resonance spectroscopy such as implanted rods, surgical clips, etc

Participant Groups

The study aims to identify muscle-secreted factors that contribute to exercise's benefits by analyzing participants' responses to physical activity. Researchers will look for proteins and genetic markers linked with improved lipid oxidation.
