Randomized comparison of reduced fat and reduced carbohydrate hypocaloric diets on intrahepatic fat in overweight and obese human subjects

Left ventricular mass and function with reduced-fat or reduced-carbohydrate hypocaloric diets in overweight and obese subjects.

In animals, carbohydrate and fat composition during dietary interventions influenced cardiac metabolism, structure, and function. Because reduced-carbohydrate and reduced-fat hypocaloric diets are commonly used in the treatment of obesity, we investigated whether these interventions differentially affect left ventricular mass, cardiac function, and blood pressure. We randomized 170 overweight a...

Weight Loss/Caloric Restriction Left Ventricular Mass and Function With Reduced-Fat or Reduced-Carbohydrate Hypocaloric Diets in Overweight and Obese Subjects

In animals, carbohydrate and fat composition during dietary interventions influenced cardiac metabolism, structure, and function. Because reduced-carbohydrate and reduced-fat hypocaloric diets are commonly used in the treatment of obesity, we investigated whether these interventions differentially affect left ventricular mass, cardiac function, and blood pressure. We randomized 170 overweight a...

Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Nocturnal Dipping with reduced Carbohydrate and reduced Fat Hypocaloric Diets

Dietary Intervention for Overweight and Obese Adults: Comparison of Low-Carbohydrate and Low-Fat Diets. A Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND Reduced calorie, low fat diet is currently recommended diet for overweight and obese adults. Prior data suggest that low carbohydrate diets may also be a viable option for those who are overweight and obese. PURPOSE Compare the effects of low carbohydrate versus low fats diet on weight and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in overweight and obese patients. DATA SOURCES ...

Characterization of Fat Particles in Plasma of Hyperlipemic Subjects Maintained on Fat-free High-carbohydrate Diets.

Lipemia in man is characterized by the presence of fat particles circulating in plasma (1). These fat particles are the largest of the plasma lipid-protein aggregates, contain predominately triglyceride, and when present in sufficient concentration, cause plasma to appear turbid or lactescent (2). The persistence of lipemic plasma in the postabsorptive state is considered to be abnormal. In the...
