After being on MAD for 12 weeks, FCI decreased significantly. The reduction in FCI may reflect reduced stress, but it may also be an effect of increased CBG. The reasons behind these alterations are unknown. Possibly, the changes may be a result of a reduction in insulin resistance and thyroid hormone levels. Treatment with MAD does not seem to influence "fight or flight" hormones.
