Beef Burger Versus a Vegetarian Burger

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Inflammation

• Registration Number: NCT04034160
• Lead Sponsor: Loma Linda University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this graduate student research study is to compare the rise of serum lipids, glucose, and hs-CRP levels after consumption of a beef burger versus a vegetarian burger in healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 55

Detailed Description

Visit 1

* Sign an informed consent.

* Complete a brief questionnaire about demographics (age, gender, and race), eating habits, physical activity level, and medical history (known allergies, and history of dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, or arthritis)

* Will be directed to fast for 8 hours prior to Visit 2. Visit 2

* Be randomized into either Group 1 or Group 2. One group will eat the beef burger first and the other group will eat the vegetarian burger first.

* Fill out a questionnaire on number of hours slept and current stress level.

* Take a finger prick test (tiny drop of blood) to determine baseline measurements for serum lipids, glucose, and hs-CRP levels.

* Consume either a beef burger or vegetarian burger.

* Afterwards, remain in Nichol Hall, Room A112, for 2 hours (may study, watch a movie, etc.).

* May not consume anything except for water.

* After 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, finger prick tests will be used to measure post-consumption serum lipids, glucose, and hs-CRP levels.

* Will be asked to try and identify burger consumed and rate the taste of the burger.

* Will be directed to fast for 8 hours prior to Visit 3. Visit 3

* Repeat the same procedure as Visit 2. However, this time the burgers will be switched.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
serum lipid panel concentration	change between visit 2(up to 7 days after initial study enrollment) and visit 3(exactly 7 days after Visit 2)	Finger prick tests (tiny drop of blood) will be used to measure serum lipids at baseline, and then at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes postprandial to determine each participant's lipid profile.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
glucose blood concentration	change between visit 2(up to 7 days after initial study enrollment) and visit 3(exactly 7 days after Visit 2)	Finger prick tests (tiny drop of blood) will be used to measure glucose at baseline, and then at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes postprandial to determine each participant's lipid profile.
hs-CRP blood concentration	change between visit 2(up to 7 days after initial study enrollment) and visit 3(exactly 7 days after Visit 2)	Finger prick tests (tiny drop of blood) will be used to measure hs-CRP at baseline, and then at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes postprandial to determine each participant's lipid profile.
