Summary

This study looked at how eating a high-fat diet for just 5 days changes the way muscles use sugar and fat. Researchers studied 11 healthy, non-obese men to understand why muscles in people with obesity or diabetes don't handle fuel properly. The goal is to find out if a high-fat diet causes the gut to release a substance that makes muscles less flexible in using energy.
