Inflammation and the Metabolic Syndrome in Humans (LPS)
March 28, 2017 updated by: University of Pennsylvania
People who are overweight are at increased risk of heart disease.
Being overweight and having heart disease are linked in that both involve inflammation.
Inflammation refers to the body's first line of defense against infection and injury.
Metabolic changes in cholesterol, triglycerides (fat in the blood) and sugar in the blood caused by inflammation are similar to that in some people who are overweight.
The investigators wish to examine the effects of inflammation on these metabolic changes that may lead to heart disease.

Detailed Description
This study is a single site, open-label, "baseline-controlled" (pre LPS saline period) study examining the pro-atherosclerotic metabolic responses and safety responses to a single administration low-dose (3 ng/kg) endotoxin (LPS) in 20 additional non-metabolic syndrome participants: 10 healthy overweight and 10 healthy lean counterparts (20 non-metabolic syndrome participants were studies in first phase), and 40 subjects with the metabolic syndrome.
We are continuing to use an approach whereby "metabolic syndrome" subjects will be recruited to have key metabolic syndrome abnormalities that are sensitive to insulin resistance compared to the non-metabolic syndrome groups, although all of these "metabolic syndrome" subjects may not fulfill traditional NCEP criteria for the syndrome.
