To test the hypothesis that active BAT improves metabolic health by buffering postprandial metabolites plasma metabolites and energy expenditure will be compared in volunteers with and without active BAT. Both groups will receive test meals with protein, fat and carbohydrates separately, so that the individual impacts of these macronutrients on diet induced thermogenesis and the buffering function of BAT can be derived. BAT biopsies will be taken before and after the test meals for molecular analysis.
