In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether lifestyle factors can alter gut barrier integrity and whether disruptions of the gut barrier can trigger systemic and tissue-specific inflammation. Twenty participants will undergo 14 days of fast-food overfeeding. Gut barrier function will be assessed before and after the intervention, alongside a wide palette of imaging techniques and biological analyses to characterize inflammatory status.
