简要总结
This study will investigate the effect of body weight, diet, and high blood sugar levels, under controlled feeding conditions, on immune function in individuals with and without obesity.
This study will be a non-randomized, four-arm parallel group, clinical trial under controlled feeding conditions (4-week nutritional intervention using a North American-type diet). A sample size of n=128 participants will be allocated into one of the following groups:
- Individuals without obesity and normoglycemia (NG) (Lean-NG)
- Individuals with obesity and normoglycemia (Obese-NG)
- Individuals with obesity and glucose intolerance (GI) (Obese-GI)
- Individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) (Obese-T2D)
The following outcomes will be analyzed:
- Immune cell function (ex-vivo cytokine production after stimulation with mitogen and T cell proliferation);
- Immune cell phenotypes;
- Systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein and plasma cytokines);
- Glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipids;
- Fatty acids and phospholipds composition in plasma and red blood cells membrane.
