Assessing the Effects of Corn and Avocado Oils on the Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Profile

🩺 Protocol Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of corn and avocado oils as part of controlled feeding diets on the cardiometabolic risk factor profile in men and women with mild-to-moderately elevated levels of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C). Participants will be asked to consume the controlled feeding diet for two separate 21 day conditions, and will consume their regular diet for a 21 day washout period between the two conditions. Additionally, participants will be asked to come into the clinic on 7 different occasions, including one screening visit (visit 1, -7 days), one baseline visit (visit 2, day 0), two visits during each 21-d diet condition (visits 3 \& 6, day 19 and visits 4 \& 7, day 21), and a visit at the conclusion of the washout phase/start of the second diet condition (visit 5, day 0).
