Scientific titleEffect of dietary glycaemic load on body weight, inflammation and endothelial function: a randomised controlled trial
Study acronymGLYNDIET
Study objectivesThe acute or chronic intake of low-glycaemic foods will create loss of body weight and will generate a metabolic response associated with an improvement in systemic inflammatory pattern and markers of endothelial function compared to the consumption of high-glycaemic index carbohydrates or consumption of a low-fat diet.
Ethics approval(s)Institutional Review Board of the Hospital Universitario Sant Joan de Reus, Spain, 26/02/2009
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObesity
InterventionParticipants are randomised into three groups stratified by sex, and presence of diabetes using random triplets:
1. Diet rich in low-glycaemic index carbohydrates (40% of energy from fat, 42% of energy from low-glycaemic index carbohydrates, 18% of energy from proteins)
2. Diet rich in high-glycaemic index carbohydrates (40% of energy from fat, 42% of energy from high-glycaemic index carbohydrates, 18% of energy from proteins)
3. Low-fat diet (30% of energy from, 52% of energy from high-glycaemic index carbohydrates, 18% of energy from proteins)

Total duration of treatment and follow-up is six months.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureWeight loss, measured at baseline, after 15 days, and every month until end of study
Secondary outcome measures1. Adiposity measures, measured at baseline and end of study
2. Blood sugar and insulin, measured at baseline and end of study
3. Lipid profile, measured at baseline and end of study
4. Markers of inflammation, measured at baseline and end of study
5. Markers of endothelial function, measured at baseline and end of study
6. Adipose tissue expression of inflammatory markers, measured at baseline and end of study
7. Inflammatory post-prandial response, measured at first visit
8. Satiety, measured at baseline, after 15 days, and every month until end of study
