Interventions

Consumption of a high protein diet (HP) or a normal protein diet (NP). In HP, children*s (ad libitum) habitual diets will be supplemented with ~13% of energy from protein per day in order to double
the children are free to choose what they prefer most): 1 in the morning (before breakfast) and 1 in the evening (before dinner). When the children are on the NP diet they will receive two isoenerg

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The change in body composition (body fat%, fat-free mass, fat mass, fat-free mass index, fat mass index , waist and hip circumference, waist:hip ratio) in obese children who consumed a high protein diet for 4 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Whole body protein turnover, gluconeogenesis, energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, cortisol concentration in hair, and markers of dyslipidemia and oxidative stress . The endpoints whole body protein turnover, gluconeogenesis, synthesis rate of apolipoprotein B100 and the synthesis rate of glutathione will be measured in a subgroup of the children, as there will be no more intravenous infusion of stable isotopes from March 2014 onwards.
