investigating the relationship of obesity to heart disease risk factors
in healthy, nondiabetic African American men and women ages

factors for triglyceride concentration and the triglyceride-related risk
factors of unhealthy cholesterol, good cholesterol and body fat
distribution. There will be a series of four outpatient visits to the
Clinical Center. Participants will have body fat analyses, an
electrocardiogram, blood tests including cholesterol profiles, an oral
glucose tolerance test and an intravenous glucose tolerance test. If
