We are looking for volunteers for a study investigating the effects of eating a Western style diet on health and physiological function.

We are looking for men and women, aged 18 to 29 or 60 to 79, who currently are performing regular aerobic exercise OR who do not exercise, and who are willing to undergo seven days of high-fat diet controlled feeding (all meals provided) and seven days of low fat diet feeding with a washout in between. 

Participants will receive:

  • Physical exam
  • Complete blood panel-blood sugar and cholesterol
  • Exercise stress test (>60 years only)
  • Aerobic capacity (VO2 max)
  • Blood pressure screening
  • DEXA body composition scan (only if meeting all study requirements)

Participants will receive monetary compensation in the form of a check for their time.
