HP Trial Summary

This trial will look at different types of protein to see how they affect insulin levels and metabolism.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 21-70 with a BMI between 24.5 and 32.5, who consume low protein diets and exercise minimally. Participants should be weight stable without significant organ dysfunction, chronic kidney disease, or metabolic conditions like diabetes. They must not have allergies to the study foods, take certain supplements or medications affecting the outcomes, be vegetarians/vegans, use tobacco excessively or drink alcohol.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how high-protein diets from different sources (animal vs plant-based; whole foods vs isolates) affect insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle, response to meals, and daily levels of glucose and hormones related to metabolism. It aims to understand if these proteins can influence metabolic health differently.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this dietary intervention trial, changes in diet could potentially cause digestive discomforts such as bloating or gas especially when increasing protein intake significantly.
