Lay Summary:
DIVA 3- A Dietary intervention to Investigate Vascular functions in African-American Women
We are actively recruiting healthy women ages 18-45 who are not pregnant, have a BMI 30 or above and are insulin resistant. We have found that women who have more than a third of their body mass as fat have low number of cells that repair blood vessels or have abnormal vessel function. If eligible you may participate in the dietary portion of the study where you would be provided with 2 arms of a meal plan. For 8 weeks one plan the switch to the other meal plan for the additional 8 weeks. During this process test will be done such as blood draws, vascular study, as well as body scans to monitor your progress and outcomes. If you are interested in participating see attached flyer for contact information.
