Dietary composition may affect both total and undercarboxylated osteocalcin, yet the acute impact of different macronutrient patterns remains unclear. This randomized crossover study examined postprandial responses to low‑carbohydrate (LC) versus high–complex carbohydrate (HC) meals in ten healthy adults. Participants completed two three‑day run‑in periods followed by LC or HC test meals, with hourly blood sampling to measure total and undercarboxylated osteocalcin via ELISA. Findings may help clarify dietary effects on osteocalcin and support nutrition interventions for obesity, osteoporosis, and diabetes. 000000505 540__ $$fCC BY 000000505 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000505 650__ $$aDiet, Carbohydrate-Restricted$$036410 000000505 650__ $$aOsteocalcin$$028567 000000505 650__ $$aOsteoporosis$$023359 000000505 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000000505 650__ $$aDiabetes Mellitus$$017671 000000505 650__ $$aCross-Over Studies$$030934 000000505 650__ $$aDiet, Sodium-Restricted$$017783 000000505 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000505 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000000505 7001_ $$aSmith, Julie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000505 8564_ $$9e4a29627-e230-4d8e-84f1-b3c1fea1e73f$$s593303$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/505/files/506_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2f42f2027813c1de81803354bfe898328$$31 000000505 905__ $$a/rest/prod/nz/80/5z/73/nz805z73k 000000505 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:505$$pstudent-work 000000505 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000505 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
