简要总结
This study will investigate the impact of consuming grass-finished lamb meat on blood omega-3 PUFAs and cardiovascular risk factors compared to concentrate-finished lamb meat. Healthy volunteers will consume three portions of lamb meat/week from a grass-finished meat treatment or a concentrate-finished meat treatment for four weeks. Blood samples will be taken at weeks zero and four. The primary outcome is to assess difference in change in omega-3 PUFA concentration in plasma and platelets between treatment groups. The secondary outcome is to assess between groups differences in change in cardiovascular disease risk factors including blood pressure, BMI and lipids among healthy individuals.
