Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Free fatty acid ratios Triglycerides (TG), poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and total unsaturated fatty acids (TUFA) will be measured with spectroscopy. The PUFA/TG, TUFA/TG and the PUFA/TUFA ratio will be calculated after standardization of the measurements with respect to voxelsize and watercontent. 2. Serum triglycerides vs adipose tissue triglycerides The change in concentration of triglycerides in serum (peripheral blood) will be compared to the change in concentration of triglycerides in the adipose tissue measured with spectroscopy, both before and after an oral fat load. | — |
