Availability of Lipids in Almonds in Healthy Individuals

NCT00768417 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2013-11-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Evidence indicates that almond consumption is associated with multiple health benefits. However, nuts are commonly excluded from diets on the basis that their high energy content may induce weight gain. Evidence from numerous studies show that this is not the case, yet the mechanism responsible for the less than predicted effect on weight is unknown. This study aimed to examine the effects of increased mastication on lipid bioavailability and satiety related peptide released in humans. Its purpose is to provide valuable mechanistic data to support the results from previous completed clinical studies.
