The Reproducibility and Clinical Utility of an Abbreviated Fat Tolerance Test

The Reproducibility and Clinical Utility of an Abbreviated Fat Tolerance Test

This study aims to evaluate the reliability of a shortened fat tolerance test ("abbreviated fat tolerance test", or "AFTT") for measuring post-meal lipids in human blood. The reliability of the triglyceride results in this test are compared to the reliability of the glucose results from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a widely-used and clinically accepted metabolic test.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Free of chronic disease
• Normal (healthy) fasting glucose and triglycerides

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of pace-maker
• Pregnant
• Using tobacco products
• Using medications or dietary supplements that could modify primary outcomes
