Dairy Products With Reduced Sugar and Blood Glucose
Blood GlucoseHigh2 moreDairy products represent an important food group in human nutrition as a source of calcium, protein, functional fats and low-glycaemic sugar lactose. While traditionally consumed natural milk and yogurt have low sugar content, many flavoured liquid dairy products such as chocolate milk, or fermented products such as yogurt have added sugar. Our recent studies have shown that the partial reduction of added sugar in chocolate milk and yogurt is not associated with any inferior sensory characteristics such as taste and pleasantness compared to their full-sugar counterparts. The current project will investigate whether the liquid dairy products with reduced sugar content (value-added products) have any benefits on blood glucose control in humans.
14/21 Diet-walking in the Park
Overweight: 25 <BMI <30The scientific literature shows a quantitative relationship between diet combined with physical activity as a long term weight reduction modality and an important factor in weight maintenance. Primary assumption - the 14/21 diet will have an impact on BMI values, and their long-term maintenance. Secondary assumption - the 14/21 diet will have a positive impact on anthropomorphic and biochemical markers, on blood pressure, resting heart rate, RMR, and life quality.
Supplementation of Land-based Stearidonic Acid (SDA)-Rich Oils in Humans
HypercholesterolemiaOverweightThe objective of this study is to investigate the conversion of the precursors ALA and SDA into n-3 LC-PUFA (EPA, DPA and DHA) in humans by oral supplementation of Echium oil in comparison with SDA soybean oil (positive control). In addition, the accumulation of n-3 LC-PUFA is compared between subpopulations of different age, gender and physiological conditions (overweight, increased serum total cholesterol).
GO-ACTIWE Energy Metabolism
Overweight and ObesityThe aim of the present study is to investigate the changes in body composition and the degree of compensation to exercise induced energy expenditure after 1 year of physical activity with either moderate or vigorous intensity in overweight and class 1 obese men and women. The present study is a sub study to main study "Active Commuting To Improve Well-being and Health in Everyday Life" (NCT 01962259)

Post Exercise Substrate Oxidation, Appetite and Energy Intakes in Overweight/Obese Postmenopausal...
OverweightPostmenopausalHigh-intensity interval exercise (HIIT), as compared to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), is a time-efficient strategy to decrease total and abdominal fat mass (FM). However, the mechanisms underlying such adaptations are not yet elucidated and research are still needed to establish the optimal HIIT according to subject characteristics. The aim of this study was to compare acute HIIE and MICE cycling exercises on enjoyment, post-exercise substrate oxidation, appetite and energy intakes over 24h in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity. It is hypothesized that compared with the traditional MICE, HIIE could favor greater enjoyment, higher 2h-post-exercise fat oxidation and a similar energy intakes over 24h despite different post-exercise appetite perceptions.
