TABLE 3.
Metabolic and respiratory outcomes in subjects who completed the diet intervention
| Characteristic | Mean (SD) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Intervention | Post-Intervention | P-value | |
| Minute Ventilation, L/kg | 0.18 ± 0.12 | 0.15 ± 0.09 | 0.041 |
| VO2, ml/min*kg ˆ | 6.43 ± 3.7 | 5.96 ± 3.1 | 0.13 |
| VCO2, ml/min*kg ˆ | 5.45 ± 3.5 | 5.28 ± 2.8 | 0.057 |
| RQ ˆ | 0.92 ± 0.1 | 0.89 ± 0.08 | 0.16 |
kg- kilogram; VO2- volumetric oxygen consumption; VCO2- volumetric carbon dioxide production; RQ- respiratory quotient;

These data are from a sample size of 15. One subject did not reach steady state on indirect calorimetry and therefore was excluded from this analysis.
