Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>For the pre- and post-measurement a subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsy of about<br /><br>1 gram will be taken. one part will be used to measure sensitivity to &beta;2-AR<br /><br>stimulation of lipolysis with salbutamol in adipocytes isolated from the<br /><br>biopsy.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Another part of the adipose tissue biopsy will be used to measure markers of<br /><br>local adipose tissue hypoxia and oxidative stress with western blot and PCR<br /><br>techniques.<br /><br>In addition a 5 ml venous blood sample and a small urine sample will be<br /><br>collected at both occasions. Markers of systemic oxidative stress will be<br /><br>measured in plasma and urine samples.</p><br>
