Abstract
Background: Previously, a healthy Nordic diet (ND) has
been shown to have beneficial health effects close to
those of Mediterranean diets. Objective: The objective
was to explore whether the ND has an impact on gene
expression in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)
and whether changes in gene expression are associated
with clinical and biochemical effects. Design: Obese
adults with features of the metabolic syndrome underwent
an 18- to 24-wk randomized intervention study comparing
the ND with the control diet (CD) (the SYSDIET study,
carried out within Nordic Centre of Excellence of the
Systems Biology in Controlled Dietary Interventions and
Cohort Studies). The present study included participants
from 3 Nordic SYSDIET centers [Kuopio (n = 20), Lund (n =
18), and Oulu (n = 18)] with a maximum weight change of
±4 kg, highly sensitive C-reactive protein concentration
