Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Marrow adipocytes have been identified as a component of the bone marrow micro-environment. Evidence exists suggesting that marrow fat plays an important physiologic role in both bone mineral and energy metabolism in humans. The investigators will study the effects of acute weight gain and acute nutritional deprivation on energy homeostasis and bone mineral metabolism by examining marrow adiposity, peripheral fat depots and bone microarchitecture. The study will include two ten day inpatient study visits. Participants will eat a high calorie diet for 10 days, followed by a 13-18 day stabilization period at home, and then return for a ten day fast.
