Metabolic Consequences of Moderate Weight Gain - Role of Dietary Fat Composition (LIPOGAIN)

Metabolic Consequences of Moderate Weight Gain - Role of Dietary Fat Composition (LIPOGAIN): a Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 41 (actual)
• Sponsor: Uppsala University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years – 38 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the metabolic consequences of a moderate weight gain and if the type of dietary fat (saturated versus polyunsaturated) can modify the effects in young healthy adults. Hypothesis: the type of dietary fat can modify the effects of weight gain.

Detailed description

Specific goals: * Investigate if dietary fat composition influences liver fat accumulation and metabolic risk factors in response to moderate weight gain * Investigate if polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) in the diet could counteract any unfavorable metabolic changes that are expected to accompany moderate weight gain * Investigate effects of weight gain and dietary fat composition on markers of vascular health

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Polyunsaturated fatty acid group	Addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids to the diet in the form of pastries
OTHER	Saturated fatty acid group	Addition of saturated fatty acids to the diet in the form of pastries
