Adjusted mean scores of Profile of Mood States (POMS) subscale and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) stratified by Healthy (N = 29) or Overweight/obese (N = 53) participants observed on both high-glycemic load (HGL) diet and a low-glycemic load (LGL) diet in a crossover design study. The models were adjusted for baseline POMS and CES-D scores, diet type, sex, body fat classification (based on DXA), diet order, and feeding period. Reported as least square means with standard error, LSmean (SE).
