简要总结
This study is looking to see how a 6-month low carbohydrate diet can affect the body's ability to use energy in addition to the affects it has on the heart and blood vessel health.
详细描述
Weight gain often occurs following a liver transplant. This weight gain is problematic as it leads to many other health problems. The reasons of this weight gain are still poorly understood. To better understand weight gain, this study is looking to see how a 6-month low carbohydrate diet can affect the body's ability to use energy in addition to the affects it has on heart and blood vessel health.
This study will help researchers to better understand weight gain after a transplant. This knowledge will help doctors prevent weight gain after a liver transplant and therefore improve the health of liver transplant patients.
