Sorry, I failed to mention that we also need healthy females for the study listed below....
Healthy, non-smoking males and females, age 18-40, are needed for studies on blood flow and blood sugar levels following one hour of moderate aerobic exercise on a stationary exercise bike. Studies will take place over three days. One day will be in the Exercise and Environmental Physiology Laboratory (Room 166 Esslinger Hall) and the other two days will be at Sacred Heart Medical Center. The testing on the first day will last approximately two hours and will consist of a maximal fatiguing exercise test on a stationary bicycle to measure fitness level. The testing on the second and third days will last approximately five hours each and will consist of one hour of moderate aerobic exercise on a stationary bicycle and measurements of blood flow and blood glucose.

Subjects must be English speakers. Subjects must not be on any medications (oral contraceptives acceptable), must not be taking herbal remedies or dietary supplements, and cannot be pregnant or currently breast-feeding. Subjects must not be using illegal/recreational drugs. Subjects must not have had prior allergic reactions to drugs or medication, specifically histamine receptor blockers (e.g. fexofenadine/Allegra, ranitidine/Zantac) and will not be allowed to take any medications 24 hours before either study day. Subjects must not be anemic or iron deficient.

This study is being conducted in the Department of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon and at Sacred Heart Medical Center. Subjects will be compensated for their participation in this study.
