Summary
In the present study, muscle perfusion will be studied before and after an oral glucose challenge following a fasting period.
Detailed description
Based on data from previous studies, this physiological response is blunted in obese subjects, and the investigators expect these responses to be restored when the glucose load is combined with tea or beetroot juice in obese, insulin resistant men.
