NCT ID NCT05348395
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a typical Western diet (high in fat and sugar) triggers changes in immune cells that may lead to heart disease. Eight healthy, normal-weight adults ate a specially designed, high-calorie diet for 8 weeks. Researchers analyzed their blood to identify the specific biological pathways activated by poor nutrition.
