Brief Summary:
Participants will be randomly allocated to either Yakult ingestion or a control group. For the first 20 days, subjects will consume their normal diet (keeping a detailed food diary throughout). On days 21-28 they will switch to a high-fat/high-calorie diet.
The investigators hypothesise that consuming a high-fat, high-energy diet for 7 days will alter the composition of the gut microbiota and induce metabolic endotoxaemia / systemic inflammation as well as decreasing whole body insulin sensitivity (as we have shown previously). In contrast, the investigators hypothesise that consuming Yakult for 21 days before and 7 days throughout the high-fat diet will maintain a favourable gut microbiota and prevent metabolic endotoxaemia / systemic inflammation and thus maintain insulin action / insulin sensitivity.
