Summary

The reasonable combination of macronutrients including carbohydrates, proteins and fat, is the basis of rational diet and beneficial to treatment of metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Endocrine hormones play pivotal roles in regulation of nutrients metabolism and energy homeostasis. However, the dynamic metabolism following the consumption of macronutrients and the relationship between various metabolites and endocrine hormones during these procedures yet to be adequately explained nowadays. Therefore, in this study, the investigators selected glucose, protein, fat and mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) for the loading tests, endocrine hormones and metabolites were detected to profile the molecular changes in the plasma. The investigators aimed to explore the nutrient processing patterns of various macronutrients and determine the interaction between metabolic hormones and metabolites.
