Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate, if postprandial fatigue symptoms after ingestion of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal are regulated by Interleukin (IL)-1 and can be prevented by inhibition of IL-1 using a single dose injection of a specific IL-1 receptor antagonist.

Exclusion Criteria

* Clinical signs of infection in the week before inclusion or history of infection during the last 2 months (CRP \>5mg/l)
* Impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose \>5.5mmol/l)
* Hematologic disease (leukocyte count \< 1.5x109/l, hemoglobin \<11 g/dl, platelets \<100 x 103/ul)
* Kidney disease (creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL))
* Liver disease (transaminases \>2x upper normal range)
* Heart disease
* Pulmonary disease
* Inflammatory disease
* History of carcinoma
* History of tuberculosis
* Alcohol consumption \>40g/d
* Smoking
* Known allergy towards Anakinra
* Known allergy towards ingredients of the test meal
* Current treatment with any drug in the week before inclusion, including vitamin supplementation (especially vitamin C and E)
