We have investigated whether postexercise ingestion of carbohydrates in combination with proteins generates a different systemic metabolic response, as compared to the sole carbohydrate or water, early recovery phase following exercise. In addition, patterns related fitness level were studied together individual responses nutritional modulation. Twenty-four male subjects exposed 90 min ergometer-cycling. Each participant was subject four identical test-sessions, including one beverages...
Analytical drift is a major source of bias in mass spectrometry based metabolomics confounding interpretation and biomarker detection. So far, standard protocols for sample data analysis have not been able to fully resolve this. We present combined approach minimizing the influence analytical on multivariate comparisons matched or dependent samples studies. The building randomization procedure run order, constrained independent randomizations between within pairs (e.g. pre/post...

An excessive energy intake combined with a low level of physical activity induces detrimental processes involved in disease development, e.g. type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However the underlying mechanisms for regulation metabolic capacity fitness status remain unclear. Metabolomics involves global studies reactions an organism or cell. Thus hypotheses regarding biochemical events can be generated to increase understanding development thereby aid novel treatments preventions....
Objective To investigate how weight loss by different diets impacts postprandial levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon. Methods In this single-centre, parallel group 2-year trial, 70 healthy postmenopausal obese women were randomised to the Paleolithic diet or a control based on Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. Both without calorie restriction. The primary outcome was change in fat mass. Here, secondary analyses GLP-1, GIP...
Increased levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with type 2 diabetes pathogenesis. However, most metabolomic studies limited to an analysis plasma metabolites under fasting conditions, rather than the dynamic shift in response a metabolic challenge. Moreover, profiles peripheral tissues involved glucose homeostasis scarce and transcriptomic regulation genes BCAA catabolism is partially unknown. This study aimed identify differences circulating skeletal muscle OGTT...
Angiopoietin-like proteins, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8, are involved in regulating plasma lipids. In vitro animal-based studies point to LPL endothelial lipase (EL, LIPG) as key targets of ANGPTLs. To examine the ANGPTL mechanisms for lipid modulation humans, we pursued a genetic mimicry analysis enhancing or suppressing variants LPL, LIPG, C hepatic type (LIPC), ANGPTL8 genes using data on 248 metabolic parameters derived from over 110,000 nonfasted individuals UK Biobank validated...
The gut microbiome interacts with the host in metabolic response to diet, and early microbial aberrancies may be linked development of obesity disorders later life. Probiotics have been proposed affect programming blood lipid levels, although studies are lacking infants. Here, we report on profile global following daily feeding probiotics during weaning. A total 179 healthy, term infants were randomised intake cereals ( n 89) or without 90) addition Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. F19 (LF19) 10...
