Dairy Fat as a Mediator of Vitamin E Adequacy in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fat-Free Milk, Low-Fat Milk, and 2 other interventions for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver and Metabolic Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is conducted to investigate if vitamin E status in healthy individuals and individuals with metabolic syndrome can be improved by dairy fat. The investigators hypothesize that full-fat dairy will substantially increase the bioavailability of alpha-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E. The results of this study will contribute to the application of dairy fat as a simple and effective strategy for improving vitamin E status, which is partly due to poor vitamin E intake. By completing this study, the investigators anticipate developing new dietary recommendations to achieve adequate vitamin E status through the regular consumption of dairy fat paired with foods containing vitamin E.
