简要总结
Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including higher BMIs and poor cholesterol profiles, are on the rise and contribute to the United States' growing disease burden. Cottonseed oil (CSO) is found readily in the food supply, and the investigator's previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating CSO into the diet is sufficient to improve fasting and postprandial blood lipids and other markers of chronic disease risk in both healthy and at-risk populations. This study aims to examine the impact of intermittent CSO consumption at different doses (consumed three times per week (3x/wk)) on changes in fasting and postprandial lipid metabolism/blood lipids and markers of chronic disease risk.
The specific aims are: *Examine the impact of intermittent CSO consumption (3x/week) at two different doses on fasting and postprandial lipids. *Examine the impact of intermittent CSO consumption (3x/week) at two different doses on other markers of chronic disease risk.
Participants will be asked to:
*Consume provided meal replacement shakes and snacks 3 times per week for 56 days. *Attend three bi-weekly (every other week) short visits for fasting blood draws, body measurements, and collection of the next two weeks' study materials. *Attend two longer (5.5h) testing visits, which include eating a standardized breakfast meal and having blood drawn periodically before and after breakfast.
Researchers will compare CSO-30, CSO-20, and Control groups (receiving no oil) to see if intermittent CSO consumption imparts the same health benefits as previously shown with daily doses of CSO.
详细描述
Accounting for nearly 1 in every 4 deaths in the U.S., cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for adults. One risk factor for CVD is hypercholesterolemia, which can double the risk for this disease. Cottonseed oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Despite having a relatively high amount of saturated fatty acids, preliminary studies demonstrate that incorporating CSO into a diet at 30% and 20% of daily energy needs is sufficient to reduce blood lipid profiles and select postprandial measures of metabolism. These improvements in lipid metabolism may be due to the general fatty acid (FA) composition of CSO; however, evidence shows that a fatty acid unique to CSO, dihydrosterculic acid (DHSA), may be responsible for some, if not all, of the positive lipid lowering effects.
This prospective clinical study is a double-blinded, randomized control trial in adults at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (poor cholesterol profiles and/or overweight/obesity). There are three diet interventions: CSO-30 (30% of energy needs from CSO), CSO-20 (20% of energy needs from CSO), and Control (not receiving CSO; will receive thickened water with yellow food coloring to mimic the appearance of oil). The study protocol consists of a 56-day intervention where participants are provided breakfast shakes and snacks that contain different amounts of oil, depending on the participant's random group assignment.
There are a total of 6 testing visits: screening (v0), pre-intervention (v1), 3 bi-weekly (every other week) short visits (v2, v3, v4), and post-intervention (v5).
At screening (v0), qualification is confirmed based on anthropometrics and a fasting blood draw, which is analyzed for a cholesterol panel and blood glucose. Additionally, energy requirements are estimated at this visit for use in the diet intervention.
At v1, participants will have anthropometrics measured, including body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Fasting and postprandial blood draws for a 5h period will occur following a high saturated-fat meal challenge which delivers 35% of the participant's estimated energy needs.
