Summary
This study looks at how fat tissue grows and changes when people gain weight over a short period. Researchers want to understand why some people develop health problems like metabolic syndrome or diabetes when they gain weight, while others do not. About 58 overweight adults will either eat 30% more calories or maintain their weight, and scientists will measure fat cell formation and other changes using a special water tracer and tissue samples.
