Summary

The objective of this study is to measure the energy value of walnuts in the human diet and study molecular mechanisms that may help explain the beneficial health effects of walnuts. The hypothesis is that there will be less metabolizable energy in walnuts due to decreased fat digestibility.

Conditions

  • Metabolizable Energy of Walnuts

Interventions

OTHER
