Further study details as provided by Akershus University College:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Will intake of fat as diacylglycerols give weight reduction in overweight individuals? [ Time Frame: baseline (0 weeks), 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Will a high intake of ALA involve reduced levels of inflammatory markers? [ Time Frame: baseline (0 weeks), 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Will a high intake of ALA involve changes in insulin sensitivity? [ Time Frame: baseline (0 weeks), 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
