A high-fat, high-saturated fat diet decreases insulin sensitivity without changing intra-abdominal fat in weight-stable overweight and obese adults
We sought to determine the effects of dietary fat on insulin sensitivity and whether changes in insulin sensitivity were explained by changes in abdominal fat distribution or very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL...

A low-fat high-carbohydrate diet reduces plasma total adiponectin concentrations compared to a moderate-fat diet with no impact on biomarkers of systemic inflammation in a randomized controlled feeding study
We compared the effects of a eucaloric moderate-fat diet (18 % protein, 36 % fat, and 46 % carbohydrate), a eucaloric low-fat high-carbohydrate diet (18 % protein, 18 % fat, and 64 % carbohydrate), and a low-c...
