Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Main study parameter is the difference in insulin sensitivity after a switch<br /><br>from a low-fat diet to a high-fat diet compared to the control group, which<br /><br>stays on a low-fat diet. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>As secondary endpoints differences in lipid accumulation in heart liver and<br /><br>muscle, cardiac function, the time-course of lipid accumulation and the<br /><br>relationship between the tissue parameter lipid accumulation and the functional<br /><br>outcome parameter insulin resistance are considered.</p><br>
