Egg Yolk and Underlying Metabolisms on Modifying HDL Levels in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metabolic Syndrome
Interventions
Behavioral: Diet intervention
Registration Number
NCT04608136
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

This research compare the effects of low carbohydrate intake and consumption of 3 eggs per day, and low energy diet on diabetes control and biomarkers of CVD in obese people.

Detailed Description

This research study examines the effects of changes in weight, metabolism of glucose and cholesterol in the blood through diet and behavior modification. The main objective of this study was to compare the effects of low carbohydrate intake and consumption of 3 eggs per day, and low energy diet on diabetes control and biomarkers of CVD in obese people. In addition, HDL quantity and size as well as HDL function was compared between the group who ate the whole egg and the group who did not eat the yolk.
