Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Japanese men, aged 20 years and older, BMI over 23, fitness habits less than one time per week, no medical treatment. On the screening session, blood samples were taken after an overnight fast to measure triglycerides (TG), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Arterial blood pressure (BP), height, and weight were also measured. Based on the Japanese definition of metabolic syndrome, three cardiovascular metabolic risk factors were defined as hyperglycemia (FPG 110 mg/dL or higher), dyslipidemia (TG above 150 mg/dL and/or HDL-C less than 40 mg/dL), and hypertension (BP of 130/85 mm Hg or higher ) and have at least one of these and insulin resistance HOMA-IR 1.6 or higher (abnormal insulin sensitivity in Japan)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) People with diabetes mellitus. (2)Excessive and habitual drinkers. (3) Serious liver dysfunction (4)Persons with serious renal disease (5)Persons with cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmic disease or ischemic heart disease. (6)Persons with serious pancreatic diseases. (7) Patients with cancer. (8) Those infected with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus. (9) Patients with serious infectious diseases or serious trauma. (10) Patients before or after surgery. (10) Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal ulcer, local bowel obstruction, or predisposition to bowel obstruction. (11) Patients who are allergic to local anesthesia. (12) Persons who do not meet the safety requirements for MRI experiments. (13) Subjects who are deemed inappropriate by the examining physician.
