Measure
African American
Healthy self-identified African American participants will be enrolled and each will undergo a physical exam and screening tests to determine participants' eligibility. Participants will consume the study diet for 3 days provided by the clinical research unit's metabolic kitchen (at UAB). On the 4th day, participants will come to the clinic in a fasting state and drink 75 gm of oral glucose solution, followed by blood collection every hour for 8 hours. Study diet: Participants will consume the study diet for 3 days provided by the clinical research unit's metabolic kitchen (at UAB). Glucose Challenge: Participants will come in a fasting state on the main study visit day and will be given 75 gm oral glucose solution to drink, followed by blood collection every hour for the next 8 hours.
White
Healthy self-identified White participants will be enrolled and each will undergo a physical exam and screening tests to determine participants' eligibility.
