NCT02687295

Brief Summary

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible effects of green-plant thylakoid supplementation to a restricted diet intervention study in overweight to obese men. Methods: Overweight-obese men (BMI 25 - 35) were treated to a 30 E% restricted diet for one month, followed by one month of stabilization. Then they were divided in two treatment arms of one month each; one thylakoid-enriched diet (n=10) and one control diet (n=10). Body measurements and blood samples were taken throughout the study.
