NCT00233311 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 61

Last updated 2012-08-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether eating a fast food meal (high in saturated fat) will result in greater increases in inflammatory markers than eating a meal with low levels of saturated fat and higher levels of mono-unsaturated fat. This study is a first step in learning about how dietary fat intake can directly impact risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
