Body WeightOxidative Stress13 moreThe subject of doctoral dissertation: Assessment of the effects of a meatless, ketogenic restrictive diet on body composition, strength capacity, oxidative stress and immune response During planning of research and topic of the doctoral dissertation, it was considered how to modify a standard ketogenic diet rich in saturated fatty acids so that the use of this model of nutrition has the most anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, it was decided to conduct a research to check whether a diet rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will show such an effect when following a high-fat diet. Hypotheses: 1. The ketogenic diet reduces systemic inflammation. 2.The ketogenic diet reduces oxidative stress. 3. The ketogenic diet reduces body fat. 4. A ketogenic diet does not worsen strength performance.

Possible Links Between Inflammation and Lipid Metabolism
SepsisInflammation2 moreIt has been recognized lately that sepsis and inflammation has an important impact on lipid metabolism and that the extent of hypocholesterolemia may even be a marker of severity of illness. However, the interplay between inflammation and the marked changes in lipid metabolism remain to be sufficiently understood. Importantly, the exact kinetics of lipid parameters in inflammatory conditions are yet to be explored. This study aims to investigate the interaction between inflammation and lipid metabolism using the human endotoxin model (LPS infusion) in ten healthy volunteers in a single blinded randomized placebo controlled cross-over design.
