Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in regulation of lipogenic pathways in insulin-sensitive tissues by fructose versus glucose intake in obese humans with or without hepatic steatosis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -regulation of de novo lipogenesis (lipid flux) in response to oral fructose or glucose -the role of important lipogenic enzymes (such as ChREBP-*/* and FGF21) in de novo lipogenesis, fat distribution and ectopic fat accumulation -the role of these pathways in peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance and endogenous glucose production-differences in lipid species composition in relation to gene expression profiles and lipid and glucose fluxes -differences in de novo lipogenesis, fat distribution and ectopic fat accumulation in relation to systemic and hepatic insulin resistance | — |
