Study Summary
High intakes of saturated fat are associated with diabetes. Our work has shown that the two most common fatty acids in the North American diet, palmitic acid (saturated fat) and oleic acid (monounsaturated fat) are metabolized differently and have opposite effects on fat burning. The proposed study will examine biochemical and molecular mechanisms for how a high saturated fat diet versus a low saturated fat/high monounsaturated fat diet alters the action of the hormone, insulin, in skeletal muscle.
Primary Outcome
Insulin sensitivity, inflammatory signaling, palmitate balance, and incomplete oxidation of palmitate in lean and obese young adults.
Interventions
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT High palmitate or high oleate diet.
