Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Cerebral energy level is assessed via 31-Phosphor-Magnetic-Resonance-Spectroscopy before and after intervention on day 1 and 8 in a magneticresonancetomographe (MRT 3.0 Tesla).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Regular blood samples were taken before and after intervention for laboratory analyses of Glucose, Insulin, C-Peptide, ACTH and Cortisol. All metabolic parameters were analyzed for day 1 and 8 of each condition.
