Brief Summary

Diet macronutrient relative composition, quality and quantity determines lifestyle disease, including cardiovascular disease, development. Our hypothesis is that a high content of carbohydrates in the diet contributes to increased insulin level. Moreover, activating enzymes promoting inflammatory processes and possibly chronic disease development in the body.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in microarray gene expression profiles in blood from healthy young women and men, in response to western or balanced dietary macro nutrient composition.

    Before and after each of two 6-days diet intervention periods

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Inflammatory markers, hormonal dietary responses and blood lipids

    Before and after each of two 6-days diet intervention periods

Study Arms (2)

A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Diet A - Western diet

Behavioral: "Western" versus "balanced" macro nutrient diet composition

B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Diet B - Balanced diet

Behavioral: "Western" versus "balanced" macro nutrient diet composition

Interventions

Randomized crossover diet intervention. 6 days on solely one of two isocaloric diets, 8 days washout, and then the other diet for 6 days. Fasting blood sampling before and after each diet intervention period.

Also known as: western diet, high-carbohydrate, low fat, low protein diet, balanced diet, low-carbohydrate, high fat, high protein diet
