Oral Triglyceride Tolerance Test (OTTT)
Participants consume a fatty drink. An intravenous catheter is inserted into the antecubital veins in one arm for intermittent sampling over the following 4 hours. The OTTT permits simple evaluation of postchallenge triglyceride levels and is acceptable to participants.
Abdominal fat biopsy (optional)
A sample of abdominal fat will be obtained by firstly injecting some local anaesthetic into an accessible area of the abdomen. Using a scalpel, a small incision (approx 2-3 cm) will be made to a depth of approx 15mm and two small pea-sized samples of fat will be removed. The wound will be closed with simple sutures or steristrips.
