Metabolome response to glycemic load in a randomized, controlled, crossover feeding trial in humans

Observational studies show habitual dietary patterns with low glycemic load (LGL), compared to high glycemic load (HGL), are protective against chronic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and obesity. The objective of this study was to investigate the metabolomes’ response to glycemic load as measured in plasma and urine. We expected to differentiate between diets and see a shift in energy usage with reduced beta-oxidation and reduced inflammation after LGL.
