简要总结
This randomized, cross-over design, controlled trial will assess the effects of 8 weeks of daily inclusion of 2 whole eggs in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, compared with their exclusion, on cardio-metabolic risk markers and diet quality in hyperlipidemic adults.
详细描述
This randomized, cross-over design, controlled trial will assess the effects of 8 weeks of daily inclusion of 2 whole eggs in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, compared with their exclusion, on cardio-metabolic risk markers, and diet quality in hyperlipidemic adults. Participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 2 treatment sequence permutations (i.e., DASH eating plan with eggs and DASH eating plan without eggs), with an 8-week washout period between treatment assignments. After randomization, participants will undergo a 4-week run-in period of a DASH eating plan without egg products before initiating the first of 2 treatment phases in their randomly-assigned sequence permutation.
Specific Aims
- To assess the effects of the inclusion of 2 whole eggs/day for 8 weeks in a DASH eating plan, as compared with their exclusion, on endothelial function measured as flow-mediated dilatation and on LDL cholesterol in hyperlipidemic adults.
- To determine the effects of the inclusion of 2 whole eggs/day in the context of a DASH eating plan, as compared with their exclusion, on cardio-metabolic risk factors and diet quality in adults with hyperlipidemia over a period of 8 weeks.
