Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main endpoint is the difference in change in peripheral insulin sensitivity between intervention and control group, measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Differences in changes in pre- and posttreatment values between intervention and control group, regarding the following parameters/endpoints; - Hepatic and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity - Energy and substrate metabolism (energy harvest, intake, expenditure, carbohydrates and fat oxidation) - Body weight, composition and body fat distribution (anthropometrics, DEXA) - Plasma and faecal concentrations of butyrate, propionate and acetate (SCFA) - Plasma concentrations of inflammatory markers (C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), Tumornecrosefactor-a (TNF-a), Interferon- γ (INF-γ), circulating metabolites (glucose, triglycerides, FFAs) and hormones (insulin, GLP-1, PYY, glucagon) - Gut permeability - Faecal microbiota composition and functionality (Metagenome and -transcriptome sequencing) - Gastrointestinal side effects (GRGS) - Expression of gene and protein expression in adipose tissue Other study parameters (if applicable) - Plasma HbA1c over the different timepoints; screening, CID1, visit week 12 and CID2 - Three-day food record: completed before CID1 and CID2 and the visit week 12 - Physical activity questionnaire: completed before CID1 and CID2 and visit week 12 (SQUASH) - Questionnaires on general wellbeing/quality of life and stress
