Molecular differences (evaluated in plasma, fat and muscle biopsies, urines) between a group of CT subjects and a control group before, during and after 14 days of overnutrition
Molecular analyses of plasma, fat and muscle biopsies and urine
Time frame: 6 weeks
Metabolic, anthropometric, histological, and microbiome differences between a group of CT subjects and a control group before, during, and after 14 days of overnutrition
* Metabolic differences (eg: lipids, amino-acids… in plasma and urine) * Anthropometric differences (eg: weight, BMI, waist/ hip ratio) * Histological (eg: muscle and fat tissue biopsies) * Inflammation and metabolism specific marker differences * Energy metabolism differences (eg: RER, RQ, Cox, Lox…) * Bone quality differences (eg: bone mineral density) * Microbiome differences
Time frame: 6 weeks
