Abstract

We have previously shown that an isoenergetic low advanced glycation end products (AGEs) diet matched for macronutrient content improved insulin sensitivity compared to high AGE diet. Here, we evaluated the differences in micronutrient intake of these two dietary patterns and if they could explain differences in insulin sensitivity. Participants consumed the intervention diets each for 2weeks with 4weeks of habitual dietary intake (washout) in-between. Dietary analysis revealed that the high AGE diet contained greater levels of retinol equivalents (RE) (478.9+151.3g/day versus 329.0+170.0g/day; p.1) therefore are unlikely to explain observed changes in insulin sensitivity. (clinicaltrials.gov:NCT00422253).
