How does the inflammatory profile differ between lean and obese people?
09 September 2019
We are looking for lean and obese participants to investigate how the inflammatory profile of stomach fat tissue differs between lean and obese individuals.
The study will involve 3 brief visits to Loughborough University Campus (total time commitment 3 hours).
This will include a screening visit (1 hour), a pre-test visit (30 min) and an experimental visit (1.5 hours). During the experimental visit we will collect a fasted blood sample and a small stomach fat tissue sample via biopsy.
