Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Effect of glycemic index on whole-body substrate oxidation in obese women.
Glycemic index is hypothesized to determine fuel partitioning through serum plasma insulin modifications induced by dietary carbohydrates, thereby modulating fat accretion or oxidation. ⋯ This study demonstrates that dietary glycemic characteristics were unable to modify fuel partitioning in sedentary obese women.
