Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Plasma apoB-lipoprotein profile is measured using an automated analyzer at baseline and seven months 2. Body composition is measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and seven months 3. Systemic glucose-induced insulin secretion and sensitivity is measured using a Botnia clamp at baseline and seven months 4. Plasma inflammatory markers are measured using commercial hsELISA kits on blood samples at baseline and seven months 5. Postprandial plasma clearance and oxidation rates of a 13C-labeled high fat meal is measured using isotope ratio mass spectrometry at baseline and seven months 6. Gynoid white adipose tissue function is measured ex vivo using in situ lipoprotein-lipase activity technique at baseline and seven months 7. Gynoid white adipose tissue genetic and protein expression of inflammatory markers is measured using RT-PCR and immunoblot, respectively at baseline and seven months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Blood pressure is measured using an automated machine at baseline and seven months 2. Waist and hip circumferences is measured using a measure tape at baseline and seven months 3.
