Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Any condition that in the opinion of the Investigator or designee could increase therisk to the participant, limit the participant's ability to tolerate the researchprocedures or interfere with the collection of the data, (e.g., currently taking adrug for treatment of obesity);
Intend to have bariatric surgery;
Inability to tolerate to lie still during the scanning procedures (e.g., severe,chronic back pain);
Severe claustrophobia;
Women who are currently pregnant or breast-feeding;
Currently receiving an active obesity study drug (or placebo) or in an obesityclinical trial;
Laboratory Evaluations exclusion: • Oral glucose tolerance test should not beperformed in patients who already fulfill the criteria for diabetes mellitus. Theseinclude: - History of Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus - Prior documentation of afasting plasma glucose >7.0 mmol/L or two or more occasions or clinical symptoms ofdiabetes e.g. polydipsia, polyuria, ketonuria and rapid weight loss with a randomplasma glucose of >11.1 mmol/L • Other contraindications for venous access as partof OGTT or blood draws: - Venous fibrosis or shunt grafts in both upper extremities
- Ongoing cellulitis or infection, particularly in the upper extremities. - Presenceof a hematoma at the site of vascular access. - History of hypoglycemicencephalopathy that can occur with prolonged fasting
- MRI exclusion: • Contraindications to MRI (e.g., certain incompatible electronicmedical devices that make it potentially unsafe for the individual to participate).All participants must be willing to undergo at least two MRI screenings, supervisedby Level II MRI personnel as designated by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
