Effects of isomaltulose and high amounts of PUFAs together with elevated physical activity on subjects with a moderate metabolic risk profile before and after a 6-weeks randomized lifestyle intervention trial

Recently, a tremendous increase in the incidence of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases was recorded in Germany and other countries worldwide. Promising prevention measures have been investigated throughout the last years. Elevated level of physical activity, fiber-rich diets, balanced intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and reduced sugar intake were positively associated with a reduced risk of metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, numbers of cases are still rising, displaying a huge burden for patients as well as society.
