Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Diabetes mellitus (based on fasting glucose and HbA1c-values at screening) 2. Clinically relevant abnormalities in blood lipids (total cholesterol > 8 mmol/L, triglycerides > 6 mmol/L, LDL > 5.7 mmol/L) at screening 3. Clinically relevant abnormalities in hematology (a.o. Hb < 8,7 mmol/L) at screening 4. Clinically relevant abnormalities in markers for liver (ALAT, ASAT) and kidney (creatinine-albumin ratio, urine) damage at screening 5. Positive HIV, HbsAg and/or HepC at screening 6. Not being able to fast overnight (12 hours) 7. Unable to resign from smoking during test day (12h) without symptoms of withdrawal 8. Gastrointestinal disorders or undergone digestive tract surgery (except appendectomy) 9. Intake of nutritional supplements (from screening until the end of the study) 10. Use of medication (from screening until the end of the study) that, in the opinion of the investigator/physician, would interfere with the study parameters: oral anti-diabetics, insulin, lipid-lowering drugs (from screening until the end of the study) and anti-biotics (from 1 month before screening). 11. Reported slimming or medically prescribed diet 12. Reported vegan, vegetarian or macrobiotic life-style
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As an indicator of metabolic flexibility the change in RQ (ÄRQ) during each challenge test (OGTT and subsequent fasting) will be measured during the test day (wk 6). This parameter relates to the change in substrate oxidation (fatty acids vs. glucose). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The glycemic and insulinemic response during an OGTT and subsequent fasting. The differences in glucose kinetics and insulin sensitivity during an OGTT between the different test periods (high and low dairy diet). Additional secondary outcomes include (1) blood pressure (2) uric acid, (3) micronutrient intake and status, particularly vitamin B12 status, markers of one carbon metabolism, choline metabolism, riboflavin, and tryptophan metabolism, including tryptophan-kynurenine pathway metabolites, serotonine metabolites and melatonine metabolites, (4) markers of dairy intake, (5) markers of kidney function, (6) markers of bone turnover and calcium homeostasis, (7) markers of oxidative stress, (8) markers of inflammation, and (9) gut microbiota composition and urinary excretion of microbiota fermentation products. | — |
