Key result
Eating a regular low-fat meal had no measurable effect on brachial artery FMD, whereas variations in plasma insulin (P=0.02) and DHPG (P=0.001) were significant physiological determinants.
Why the study?
Does consuming a low-fat meal compared to fasting affect brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation in healthy young men?
Does consuming a low-fat meal compared to fasting affect brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation in healthy young men?
Eating a regular low-fat meal does not significantly affect brachial artery endothelial function, suggesting strict fasting may be unnecessary for FMD measurement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No effect of low-fat meal on FMD seen in healthy men; leaves open whether fasting is required for endothelial assessments in broader groups.
Järvisalo et al. (2006) studied Healthy (n=12). Low-fat meal vs. Fasting was evaluated on Hourly variation in brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Eating a regular low-fat meal had no measurable effect on brachial artery FMD, whereas variations in plasma insulin (P=0.02) and DHPG (P=0.001) were significant physiological determinants.
