Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participant Inclusion Criteria (Healthy Volunteers) a. Between 25 to 60 years of age b. Healthy volunteers with no diagnosed chronic disorder. c. Those willing to abide by the requirements and conditions of the study and agreeing to provide written informed consent Participant Inclusion Criteria (Metabolic Syndrome) a.
