NCT ID NCT07715890
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study investigates how eating three high-fat meals in a row changes vitamin E levels in the blood. Researchers will compare people with normal blood fats to those with high blood fats (hyperlipidemia). The goal is to understand whether fats in the blood can trap vitamin E, potentially lowering its availability to the body. Participants will consume specially prepared shakes without vitamin E, and their blood will be tested over 23 hours.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could clarify why people with high blood fats may have lower vitamin E levels, potentially guiding future nutritional advice.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on understanding a biological process, not testing a treatment. Results may not apply to real-world eating patterns or lead to direct health changes.
