  Purpose

The purpose of the study is explore the effect of probiotics on plasma lipopolysaccharides (LPS) concentrations, as well as insulin and glucose levels, in obese women prior to and after dietary challenges (high carbohydrate meal, high fat meal). The investigators hypothesize the LPS concentrations will be higher following a high fat meal challenge compared to a high carbohydrate challenge and that glucose and LPS concentrations will be lower after three weeks of probiotic treatment.
