Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of dairy vs. soy protein on health. It'll look at fatty acid metabolism, omega-3 fat absorption and blood levels of EPA/DHA to determine whether dairy can improve health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adult men and pre-menopausal women who can eat soy and dairy products. Participants should be able to understand the study procedures and communicate with clinical staff.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether milk protein (MPI) or soy protein (SPI) affects how our bodies handle omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for health. It will look at blood levels of EPA and DHA, their synthesis, fat oxidation, and absorption from the gut.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves common foods like milk and soy proteins, side effects may include typical food intolerance symptoms such as digestive discomfort if participants have unknown sensitivities.

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Soy Protein Isolate (SPI)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Study participants in the SPI group will consume 2 smoothies per day for 31 days, where each smoothie provides 300 kcal in total, composed of 45% from carbohydrate (maltodextrin), 20% from protein (soy protein isolate) and 35% from fat (a blend of flaxseed, safflower, and coconut oils). Each smoothie will be mixed with water up to volume of 250mL. Individuals in this group will not consume dairy-containing beverages and foods during the 31-day study.

Group II: Milk Protein Isolate (MPI)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Study participants in the MPI group will consume 2 smoothies per day for 31 days, where each smoothie provides 300 kcal in total, composed of 45% from carbohydrate (maltodextrin), 20% from protein (milk protein isolate) and 35% from fat (a blend of flaxseed, safflower, and coconut oils). Each smoothie will be mixed with water up to volume of 250mL. Individuals in this group will not consume soy-containing beverages and foods during the 31-day study.
