PIN Trial Summary

This trial will investigate how meals with different levels of saturated fatty acids affect inflammation and satiety in older adults. The study will compare a meal with peanuts, which are high in healthy fats, to

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults who are generally healthy but may be dealing with obesity. Participants should be interested in how different types of fats in their diet might affect inflammation and overall health as they age.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing the effects of a peanut meal rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) compared to meals high in saturated fatty acids (SFA). It's designed to see if peanuts can help reduce inflammation after eating and improve feelings of fullness.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves consuming peanut meals, potential side effects could include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions for those sensitive to nuts. However, no significant side effects are expected from MUFA-rich meals.

Answered by AI

What is the primary purpose of conducting this medical study?

"During the course of this clinical investigation, lasting approximately 6 hours, primary focus will be on monitoring Endotoxin Concentration. Secondary goals involve examining Glucose and Insulin levels measured in serum (mg/dL), Triglyceride concentration also assessed through serum analysis, as well as Appetite gauged using a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 14 (extremely)."
