Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute, postprandial effects and mechanism of action of various walnut components (separated nut skins, de-fatted nut meat, nut oil) versus whole walnuts on oxidative stress, inflammation and measures of platelet and endothelial function in healthy adults with moderately elevated cholesterol levels.
Primary Outcome
On the day of each test, participants arrived at the General Clinical Research Center after a 12-h overnight fast. A baseline (0 min) fasting blood sample was collected. Participants then had 15 min to consume 1 of the 4 walnut test meals. Blood samples (∼30 mL) were subsequently taken at 30, 60, 120, 240, and 360 min following the meal and FRAP was measured at 0, 60, 120, 240, and 360 min. The FRAP assay was used to determine the reducing ability of plasma in a redox-linked colorimetric reactio
