About

This study aimed to investigate the effects of nut consumption on metabolic parameters and biomarkers related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial function in Korean adults with metabolic syndrome.

Full description

A randomized, controlled, parallel, dietary intervention study was designed. Subjects with metabolic syndrome and body mass index ≥23 kg/m2 were randomized to the Nut group, which were supplemented with 30 g of mixed nuts including walnuts, peanuts, and pine nuts for 6 weeks; or allocated to the Control group. Metabolic markers were evaluated at baseline and at the end of the study.
