OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of dietary carbohydrate composition on body composition and metabolic adaptation during and after weight loss.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of a 12-month low-carbohydrate diet on body weight and cardiovascular risk factors compared with a low-fat diet.
OBJECTIVE: The primary objectives were to examine the association between consumption of different carbohydrate-rich foods and risk of incident ischaemic CVD (iCVD) in a cohort study, and to examine whether genetic susceptibility to dyslipidaemia measured as the genetic risk scores of 80 validated variants, modify such associations. Secondary objectives were to examine the cross-sectional associations between the consumption of carbohydrate-rich foods and clinical risk factors of iCVD at baseline and whether the associations with blood lipids and lipoproteins were modified by genetic susceptibility to dyslipidaemia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether late night total energy consumption and consumption of carbohydrate in pregnancy would be associated with higher circulating glucose concentration following oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and an impaired ability to secrete sufficient insulin to compensate for reduced insulin sensitivity. Also to explore whether an association between late night food intake and impaired glucose tolerance would be exacerbated in women who were obese in early pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the evolving research relating to dietary sugars and other continuing controversies concerning carbohydrates in relation to type 2 diabetes. More “Carbohydrates in the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes”
OBJECTIVE: To examine the change in daily energy intake associated with pairwise compositional change in dietary carbohydrate, fat and protein intake among US adults. More “Change in daily energy intake associated with pairwise compositional change in carbohydrate, fat and protein intake among US adults, 1999-2010”
OBJECTIVE: To explore patient’s understanding of carbohydrate and beliefs around the role of carbohydrate in the dietary management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). More “A qualitative investigation of patients’ understanding of carbohydrate in the clinical management of type 2 diabetes”
OBJECTIVE: To compare carbohydrate-restricted with low-fat diets in two populations at elevated risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D): overweight/obese/prediabetic adults, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). More “A lower-carbohydrate, higher-fat diet reduces abdominal and intermuscular fat and increases insulin sensitivity in adults at risk of type 2 diabetes”
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether the source of energy in the diet constitutes a specific risk for obesity, and the potential differences in risk of weight gain associated with different subtypes of carbohydrate or specific carbohydrate-rich foods.

OBJECTIVE: To review the biochemistry of fructose as it interacts with glucose and glucose homeostasis. Particular attention to be made to processes that occur when amounts of fructose are consumed reflective of normal human diets.
