NCT ID NCT07541300
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how different types of palm oil affect appetite and gut hormones in 36 healthy adults. Participants eat muffins made with palm olein, palm kernel oil, or sunflower oil, then give blood samples and answer questionnaires over 4 hours. The goal is to see if palm oils make people feel fuller than sunflower oil.
