Preliminary studies in rats and mice indicate that calanus oil reduce accumulation of intra-abdominal fat. Pilot studies in humans have shown no adverse effects. In the present study 120 subjects, males and females, 20-65 years old, BMI 25-30 kg/m2 will be included and given calanus oli 1 g twice daily versus placebo for 1 year. The hypothesis is that calanus oil will reduce intra-abdominal fat, improve glucose tolerance and lipid profile.
