Brief Summary:
The investigators examined the effects of 4-week dietary protein intake in mixed meals at two levels of protein amount on whole body glucose metabolisms in older adults with metabolic syndrome.
Detailed Description:
The investigators investigated changes in insulin sensitivity before and after 4 weeks of dietary intervention and control in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Two groups of subjects were studied before and after a weight maintenance diet. Group 1 was fed a common American diet with a macronutrient distribution of 10% protein, 55% carbohydrates, and 35% fat. Group 2 consumed a higher protein diet (20%; 1.4 g/kg/d of protein). Carbohydrate intake was lower in Group 2 (45%), with fat intake (largely derived from dairy sources) similar between groups. Glucose utilization and endogenous glucose production were determined during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with a novel double-tracer approach. The secondary aim was to determine the effect of a diet high in dairy consumption on blood lipid profiles. The investigators measured blood lipids before and after dietary intervention in each group.
