Scientists test if plant foods can tweak your Body's cholesterol switch

NCT ID NCT07142317

Summary

This study aims to understand how plant sterols, found in foods like nuts and seeds, affect a newly discovered body protein (GPR146/cholesin) that helps control cholesterol. Researchers will feed 23 healthy adults three different test meals (high-cholesterol, low-cholesterol, and high-cholesterol with plant sterols) and measure changes in this protein and related genes in their blood and intestinal cells. The goal is to learn more about the basic science of how our bodies process dietary cholesterol.
