The average American diet consumed by a significant proportion of the adult population, supplies excessive calories and large amounts of saturated fat. Saturated fats can be cleared and used in skeletal muscle, but in obese individuals, biomarkers of saturated fat are found in the blood, along with markers of poor muscle metabolism.
Both fats and amino acids are processed by the same metabolic pathways in muscle, and the investigators hypothesize that meals with greater amounts of saturated fat slow muscle metabolism. A better understanding of the interaction of these to metabolites will allow for the development of future medications to treat muscle loss in sick individuals and the elderly.
This study includes two parts, a baseline study and a three-week dietary study. The baseline study will be performed to test how the body absorbs and stores meal fat after a meal. In the three-week dietary study, the subjects will consume only the meals provided by the investigators for three weeks before the tests, and then participate in a hospital stay. The three-week dietary study is to test the chronic effect of a high fat diet on how body absorbs and stores the fat.
