Benefit of low-fat over low-carbohydrate diet on endothelial health in obesity.
Obesity is associated with impaired endothelial-dependent flow-mediated dilation, a precursor to hypertension and atherosclerosis. Although dieting generally improves cardiovascular risk factors, the direct effect of different dietary strategies on vascular endothelial function is not known. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a low-fat (LF) diet improves endothelial funct...
متن کاملA low-carbohydrate as compared with a low-fat diet in severe obesity.
BACKGROUND The effects of a carbohydrate-restricted diet on weight loss and risk factors for atherosclerosis have been incompletely assessed. METHODS We randomly assigned 132 severely obese subjects (including 77 blacks and 23 women) with a mean body-mass index of 43 and a high prevalence of diabetes (39 percent) or the metabolic syndrome (43 percent) to a carbohydrate-restricted (low-carbohy...
متن کاملA low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet versus a low-fat diet to treat obesity and hyperlipidemia: a randomized, controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Low-carbohydrate diets remain popular despite a paucity of scientific evidence on their effectiveness. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet program with those of a low-fat, low-cholesterol, reduced-calorie diet. DESIGN Randomized, controlled trial. SETTING Outpatient research clinic. PARTICIPANTS 120 overweight, hyperlipidemic volunteers from...
متن کاملComparison of Low-Carbohydrate Vs. A Low-Fat Diet on Prostate Cancer Biomarkers
Low-carbohydrate diets slow prostate cancer (PC) growth in mice, but PC-safety is questioned due to high-fat content. In this exploratory, ancillary and hypothesisgenerating study, we compared sera from PC-free men in a randomized trial of low-fat vs. low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) effects and in vitro PC growth. Baseline and week-24 serum were applie...
متن کاملA randomized trial of a low-carbohydrate diet for obesity.
BACKGROUND Despite the popularity of the low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat (Atkins) diet, no randomized, controlled trials have evaluated its efficacy. METHODS We conducted a one-year, multicenter, controlled trial involving 63 obese men and women who were randomly assigned to either a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet or a low-calorie, high-carbohydrate, low-fat (conventio...
