Study & Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Alterations in energy balance between treatments (i.e. the culmination of resting metabolic rate, diet-induced thermogenesis and physical activity energy expenditure relative to dietary energy intake).<br><br> All measurements contributing to both the primary and secondary outcomes are made throughout two 8 hour lab visits during Phase I and then continuously throughout the first and sixth week of dietary intervention during Phase II.<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Both the mechanistic data explaining how the intervention may have impacted on energy balance (i.e. appetite regulatory hormones, metabolic regulatory hormones and associated expression of key genes) and also the whole-body endpoints indicative of altered health status with each treatment (i.e. adiposity, glycaemic control and chronic lowgrade<br> inflammation).<br><br> All measurements contributing to both the primary and secondary outcomes are made throughout two 8 hour lab visits during Phase I and then continuously throughout the first and sixth week of dietary intervention during Phase II.<br>
