A healthy Nordic diet has a beneficial influence on the expression of genes involved in inflammation in subcutaneous adipose tissue

In a randomized controlled dietary intervention study we compared an isocaloric Healthy Nordic diet with the average Nordic diet for influence on abdominal subcutaneous adipose tisse gene expression. We studied obese adults with features of the metabolic syndrom, n=56. There was no significant difference in age, BMI, or gene expression between the groups before the intervention. The intervention lasted for 18-24 weeks.
