NCT ID NCT03994367
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at how different types of protein—from animals or plants, and as whole foods or isolates—affect blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity in people with metabolic syndrome. Researchers will measure glucose levels and insulin action over 24 hours. The goal is to understand which protein sources may be better for metabolic health.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
High-protein diets from animal or plant sources (whole foods or isolates)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could clarify which protein sources best support healthy blood sugar and insulin function, potentially guiding dietary recommendations for metabolic syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational/mechanistic study, not a treatment trial. Results may not lead to direct clinical changes, and individual responses to diet vary widely.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
