Background: Protein supplementation has been shown to reduce the increases in intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content
induced by acute hypercaloric high-fat and high-fructose diets in humans.
Objective: To assess the effect of a 12-wk iso-energetic high protein-low carbohydrate (HPLC) diet compared with an isoenergetic
high carbohydrate-low protein (HCLP) diet on IHTG content in healthy non-obese subjects, at a constant body
weight.
