• * Overweight/Obese volunteers will have a BMI 29.0 - 40.0 kg/m2
• o Upper body/visceral obesity (UBO) in women will be defined as those with a waist-hip ratio (WHR) \> 0.85 and/or increased visceral fat by single slice CT scan, usually with \> 120 cm2 of visceral fat by CT scanning or a visceral fat/total fat ratio of \> 0.30, and/or biochemical evidence of metabolic syndrome as defined by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) III criteria (fasting plasma triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL, HDL-cholesterol \< 50 mg/dL for women and \< 40 mg/dL for men, fasting plasma glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL). Upper body obesity in men will be defined as a waist-hip ratio of \>0.95 and/or increased visceral fat (visceral fat area \> 120 cm2 or a visceral/total fat abdominal ratio by CT of \> 0.40) by single slice CT scan and/or biochemical evidence of metabolic syndrome as defined by ATP III criterial. These visceral fat values are based upon the data collected at Mayo Clinic using our methods, and are correlated with dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia.

If Yes look at consent form and f/u visits:
• * Current use of medications that alter fatty acid or adipose metabolism possibly given: if yes, exclude
• * Amount of blood drawn during the study (if our study plus this one draw ≥ 450 ml these should be separated by 8 weeks
• * Previous labs:
• * Fasting glucose \< 126 mg/dl for non-diabetic UBO
• * Hb ≥ 11.0 for women and ≥ 12 for men
• * platelets \> 100 000
