研究概览
简要总结
This study is testing the effectiveness of a dietary intervention by means of measuring the change in RQ upon a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp challenge and by means of measuring the kinetic responses of multiple PF markers (including RQ) to an acute mixed meal challenge before and after a 6-week dietary intervention. The challenges will be applied to investigate whether the kinetic response is a better measure for health and wellbeing when compared to fasting (baseline) levels. In addition, several measures that reflect perceivable benefits like mood, quality of life, sleep quality, cognitive and physical performance will be assessed in a first exploratory attempt to link (changes in) PF to consumer perceivable benefits.
Subjects will be randomly allocated to a low glycemic load diet or a 'Western' diet for 6 weeks. Before and after the intervention several measurements will take place. The low glycemic load diet will be high in polyphenols, protein, vegetables, pulses, fibres and nuts, and low in glycemic carbohydrates. All these dietary factors have been shown to improve glycemic control and/or to reduce metabolic syndrome risk factors.
