The goal of this clinical trial is to clarify the interaction of central insulin action and physical activity with the immune system. Therefore, participants will undergo bicycle spiroergometer tests. This approach will be compared between days with insulin delivery to the brain as nasal spray and days with placebo spray. In another trial (NCT06552130) lean participants already have been tested. Significant effects on circulating cytokines could be identified. In this amendment, overweight persons in which brain insulin resistance is expected will be tested.
