Lean Seafood Intake and Postprandial Metabolism

Ability of a Lean Seafood Diet to Modulate Postprandial Metabolism in Human-beings - a Controlled Intervention Study With Cross-over Design

Despite numerous studies of meal components in humans, little is still known about how different meals influence on metabolism. The purpose of this study is to a gain knowledge of how a balanced test meal with either lean seafood (example:cod) or meat as the main protein source will:

1. affect the postprandial metabolism acutely (test-meal at beginning of the study)
2. affect the postprandial metabolism after 4 weeks controlled intervention (test meal at end of intervention period)
3. affect gut microbiota composition
