This suggests that a high NEFA utilisation, which occurs in fasting cirrhotics, is not present throughout the day. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Obesity

  METHODS: A total of 88 abdominally obese adults were randomly assigned to either an energy-restricted (approximately 6 to 7 MJ, 30% deficit), planned isocaloric VLCHF or HCLF diet for 24 weeks in an outpatient clinical trial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Moreover, abdominal obesity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease risk factors, morbidity and mortality in many populations [ 7 ]. In most studies, being a woman is a risk factor for obesity [ 8 ]. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

• Microalbuminuria

  One participant in high-carbohydrate had microalbuminuria (41.8 microg/min) at baseline, which decreased to a value of 3.1 microg/min (classified as normoalbuminuria) at 1 year. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypertriglyceridemia

  The LFHC diet we used may be an useful tool in the management of hypertriglyceridemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Previous studies have demonstrated that a high-CHO diet could increase fasting serum TG concentrations (11,12), leading to hypertriglyceridemia, a risk factor of CVD (13). [scielo.br]

• LDL Decreased

  The amount of circulating insulin and glucose following a glucose challenge decreased, estimated insulin sensitivity increased, and LDL decreased (although so did HDL). [wholehealthsource.blogspot.com]

Eighteen patients were separated into two groups on the basis of hypoglycemic treatment (diet, n 9, or diet plus glibenclamide, n 9) and were assigned to a 15-day treatment with a high-carbohydrate/low-fiber diet containing 60% energy from carbohydrate [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
