| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters are energy balance (calculated as difference between food intake and energy expenditure and from changes in body composition), body composition (measured using DEXA, CT and BIA), metabolic markers (measured in fat and muscle biopsies), biochemical markers (measured in blood/serum), muscle function parameters (grip strength and measured in a biopsy) and gene expression (transcriptomic and PCR analyses of fat and muscle biopsies). | — |
