Dose-dependent Identification of Unique Biomarkers

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Registration Number
NCT05600348
Lead Sponsor
San Diego State University
Brief Summary

The purpose of the research is to assess the dose-dependent impacts of the consumption of fresh pork on blood-borne metabolites (markers) following the controlled feeding of pork

Detailed Description

Eligible participants will follow 3 randomly ordered 4-week feeding periods varying only with the consumption of 0, 3 or 6 oz of pork or a 50:50 blend of chicken and beef (6, 3 and 0 oz for respective trials to ensure similar total poultry/meat intake among trials).
