Study Summary

Whole grain intake beneficially affects body weight, body fat and glucose metabolism, and the investigators' previous work has shown that a high whole grain intake significantly reduced body fat in the abdominal region as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) compared to a refined grain intake. Additional research is needed with regard to the mechanisms by which whole grains may affect visceral adiposity and the adipokines, which have been associated with risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Therefore the proposed study aims to address these issues and in addition, includes exploratory work with adipocytes in cell culture to evaluate the effects of whole grains on adipocyte function. Hypothesis: There will be a greater reduction in visceral adiposity, indicators of insulin resistance (HOMA score), improvement in inflammatory status and improvement in adipokine levels after six weeks of a weight stable period and after six weeks of weight loss in subjects consuming 6-9 servings compared to 0 servings of whole grains per day.
