LOW CARB

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该方案研究了低脂与低碳水化合物减肥方法对减肥率、局部体脂组成、碳水化合物和脂质代谢的胰岛素敏感性以及能量消耗的作用。初步结果相当惊人。 减肥似乎是明显更快的低碳水化合物饮食与最近的报告一致。此外，我们看到两组的内脏脂肪储存都有所减少。目前正在进行全身脂肪组成、胰岛素敏感性和能量消耗的测量。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This protocol investigates the role of a low fat vs a low carbohydrate weight loss approach on rates of weight loss, regional body fat composition, insulin senstivity of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and energy expenditure. Initial results are quite striking. Weight loss appears to be significantly faster on the low carb diet consistent iwth recent reports. In addition, we are seeing reductions in visceral fat stores in both groups. Total body fat composition, and insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure measurements are currently in progress.
