Summary

This study looks at how gut bacteria affect the body's response to exercise, especially insulin use, in overweight or obese men aged 18 to 40. Participants will exercise 5 days a week for 12 weeks and take a daily gut health supplement called sodium butyrate for the last 4 weeks. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to see if the supplement can improve insulin sensitivity in those who don't respond well to exercise alone.
