Official Title: Acute Consequences of Glucocorticoid Secretion in Overweight and Obese Individuals During Maximum Calorie Intake: a Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Study
Brief Summary:
The investigator aim to understand whether food-induced glucocorticoids influence fat mass in overweight and obese people.In a randomized, cross-over study, 23 overweight and obese volunteers will receive a block and replace therapy that mimics physiological glucocorticoid (GC) rhythm (metyrapone plus hydrocortisone) or placebo.Participants will undergo two identical overfeeding periods with each treatment.With the block and replace therapy food-induced GC peak will be suppressed.Metabolic and immunological…
