Cardioprotective Activities Of Whole Eggs On Vascular Endothelial Function In Prediabetic Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Glucose (100g), Glucose (75g), and 3 other interventions for Prediabetes and Cardiovascular Disease. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is largely a lifestyle-related condition that is the #1 killer of adults in the United States. Our work is aimed at understanding how short-term increases in blood sugar, like those that accompany eating a meal, affect blood vessel function and the risk of CVD. This research is aimed at understanding how meals composed of eggs affect short-term increases in blood sugar from eating, which are connected with increased risk of CVD. In particular, the investigators are trying to identify a specific meal composed of either whole eggs, egg yolks, or egg whites, that best reduces acute increases in blood sugar brought on by meals that consist of majority carbohydrate. At the same time, the investigators are trying to explore the protective affects that eggs may have on blood vessel function and the reduction of CVD risk.
