About

To investigate the effects of two types of oil blends on blood lipid profile, glucose homeostasis, body composition, gut microflora and other markers of cardiometabolic disease risk in Chinese men and women with borderline hyperlipidemia

Full description

The primary aims of this study is to evaluate the effects of consumption of two separate blends of cooking oil, containing rice bran, flaxseed and sesame oils, for a period of 8 weeks, on blood total cholesterol, total triglycerides, low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and metabolism in borderline hyperlipidaemic, 50 to 70 years old, Chinese, male and postmenopausal female, as compared to refined olive oil. The secondary aims of the study is to evaluate the effect of the two separate blends of cooking oil on markers of cardiometabolic diseases risk (including body composition, glucose homeostasis, markers of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation) and changes in gut microbiota composition and function.
