Summary
The primary purpose of this protocol is to develop a reliable method to determine BAT mass in young and older adults by magnetic resonance imaging.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Maximal oxygen consumption (V02 max) | Aerobic fitness will be determined by measuring V02 max during a stationary bicycle exercise test. |
| OTHER | Brown adipose tissue (BAT) imaging | Brown adipose tissue will be differentiated from white adipose tissue using fat fraction and T2\* relaxation time maps generated from a commercially available modified 6-point Dixon (mDixon) water-fat separation method. |
| OTHER | Muscle function testing | This test will be done on a machine called a Biodex. We will measure the speed at which subjects move resistance at different percentages of their peak strength. |
