Specific Genotypes Associated with Differences in Fasting Insulin Levels and Body Mass Index in Healthy Young Males: Implications for Gene-Nutrient Interactions-an Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genetic variation may significantly impact an individual's susceptibility to diseases, particularly when combined with specific nutrients. Additionally, genetic variations can lead to interindividual differences in metabolic responses.

Objective

The present study explores the association between gene variants and observed interindividual differences in metabolic responses.

Methods

The study included 30 healthy males (aged 20-34) who underwent a fasting period and subsequently consumed a standardized meal. Blood samples were collected both before and after the meal to assess metabolic changes. BMI served as an indirect measure for assessing physiological responses associated with body composition. Appetite changes were assessed using an online Visual Analog
