About this trial

Eligible subjects will be asked to take a placebo/treatment capsule for a total of 3 days and then participate in a study visit on the fourth day. This study visit will include a medical exam, clinical labs, questionnaires, body composition measurements, and urine and stool collections. Additionally, participants will consume a sugar cocktail to measure their gut permeability, participate in an acute ethanol challenge, and undergo two muscle biopsies. The study will take approximately 3-4 hours and a designated driver will need to drive the participant home. On the fifth day, you will be asked to return to drop of the 24-hour urine collection.
