Summary

This trial will test if animal protein can help reduce inflammation & boost muscle protein in postmenopausal women, compared to vegetarian protein.

This trial is for premenopausal women aged 35-45 and postmenopausal women aged 50-65 with a BMI of 20.0 - 34.9 kg/m2, who are not currently pregnant or have given birth in the past year, without metabolic or hormonal diseases, significant weight changes, or on certain medications that affect metabolism.
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare the effects of meals rich in animal protein versus plant protein on muscle health and inflammation in pre- and postmenopausal women by randomly assigning participants to one of the two diet types.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this dietary intervention trial, potential issues may include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions related to individual food components within the meal plans.
