IF-P Vs CR: Cardiometabolic And Hormonal Responses

Both nutritional interventions resulted in significant improvements in cardiovascular outcomes. For example, blood pressure, total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were reduced significantly in both IF‐P and CR groups at each time during the intervention, with no differences between groups. High‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) decreased significantly in IF‐P compared with CR; however, the Total Cholesterol:HDL‐C ratio was consistent throughout the intervention for both groups.
