Abstract 

A low-carbohydrate/high-fat evening meal impaired the glucose tolerance of healthy subjects to almost the same extent as the impairment caused by overnight fasting. This suggests that the decreased component (carbohydrate) is more relevant than the increased component (fat) to the impairment of glucose tolerance by a low-carbohydrate/high-fat diet.

Keywords:  Oral glucose tolerance test, Low-carbohydrate diet, High-fat diet
