Blood Lipid Responses to Diet Macronutrients
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases
In brief
The macronutrient composition of a diet (proportions of carbohydrates, fats and proteins) strongly influences the way the body stores and utilises substrates (e.g., fats and sugars), which in turn influences the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases (e.g., coronary artery disease or insulin resistance). The optimal dietary composition to lower the risk of cardiometabolic disease is unknown. In a randomized, parallel design, this study will investigate how the overconsumption of carbohydrates and fats affects blood lipid responses and liver metabolism in adults free from metabolic disease. By genotyping participants, the interaction between macronutrient content and an individual's genes on blood lipid responses and liver metabolism will be examined.
