“Mice continued their diet for a total of 12 to 13 weeks. After 10 weeks, the researchers measured changes in the animals' body weight, glucose sensitivity, serum cholesterol, fatty liver, muscle performance, and immune response when challenged with bacterial endotoxin.”

“Both IMF and DCR increased HDL cholesterol similarly (IMF: +2.69 mg/dL; DCR: +2.77 mg/dL) and neither dietary strategy led to significant improvements in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, or fasting glucose when comparing between groups.”
