A Study on the Possible Health Effects of Lean Fish, Fatty Fish and Lean Meat Intake in Non-obese Adults

This study is a pilot study to investigate whether intake of lean or fatty fish, or lean meat would affect parameters related to health in healthy non-obese adults, and will serve as basis for future calculation of group sizes in coming studies. Participants consumed 750g/week of fillets of fish or meat for 4 weeks.

Hypothesis:

High intake of either lean or fatty fish will not affect serum concentrations of lipids and inflammatory markers as well as improve glucose tolerance during the 4 week intervention period when compared to lean meat intake.

Inclusion Criteria:

• adults
• non-obese
• healthy

Exclusion Criteria:

• diabetes
• diagnosed diseases of the intestine or cardiovacular system
