Effect of Nesiritide Infusion on Insulin Sensitivity in Healthy Obese Insulin Resistant Subjects (BNP3)

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of nesiritide to placebo administered by a continuous IV infusion over 48 hours for the treatment of insulin resistance in healthy, obese, insulin resistant individuals.
