Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Insulin sensitivity as assessed by a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- energy expenditure and substrate oxidation (indirect calorimetry) - adipose tissue and skeletal muscle gene/protein expression - faecal and circulating SCFA - faecal microbiota composition - circulating incretins, metabolites and inflammatory parameters - body weight, BMI and body composition (DEXA scan) - Three-day food record and physical activity questionnaires A three-day food record will be completed three days prior to each CID. - Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) questionnaire. - Proton magnetic resonance spectrometry to assess liver fat content
