KNOTA: Diet Composition - Metabolic Regulation and Long-term Compliance
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will compare a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet (modified paleolithic diet, MPD) with a diet high in slow carbohydrates (Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, NNR). The diets will be compared with respect effects on weight reduction, metabolic regulation, and long-term compliance to the diet regimes. Seventy-two postmenopausal overweight healthy women have been recruited and will be followed for two years.
The following variables will be studied:
-
Anthropometry
-
DEXA
-
OGTT
-
Liver fat content measured with 1H-MRS
-
Hepatic 11β-HSD1 activity, measured with cortisone/cortisol conversion test
