Study Overview
Brief Summary
In a previous study, 24 volunteers consumed two conventional eggs or two eggs naturally enriched with omega 3, 5 and 7 every day for 3 months. It was shown that these eggs were well tolerated and that the omega enrichment led to a reduction in waist circumference of 3 cm in 3 months.
The objective of Omegasnack study was therefore to go further in the evaluation of these effects on waist circumference; 1) confirm the effects of these eggs on waist circumference when included in a snack, 2) determine whether this reduction in waist circumference is linked to a reduction in muscle and/or fat mass (subcutaneous and/or visceral) and 3) evaluate whether these effects are associated with a modification in the accumulation of ectopic fat in the muscle and/or liver.
