Effect of dietary strategies with or without physical activity on intramyocellular triacylglycerol over 18 months of intervention.

<p>Values in the Figure are means ± standard errors. Multivariate linear model adjusted for age, sex and visceral fat changes. *p<0.05, Mediterranean/ Low-carbohydrate diet with physical activity significantly increased intramyocellular triacylglycerol as compared to each of the other intervention groups. # p<0.05, paired t-test was used to test changes over time. LFPA-: Low fat diet non-physical activity; LFPA+: Low fat diet with physical activity; MED/LCPA-: Mediterranean/low-carbohydrate/ diet non-physical activity; MED/LCPA+: Mediterranean/low-carbohydrate/ diet with physical activity.</p
