Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults who are generally healthy but may be dealing with obesity. Participants should be interested in how different types of fats in their diet might affect inflammation and overall health as they age.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of a peanut meal rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) compared to meals high in saturated fatty acids (SFA). It's designed to see if peanuts can help reduce inflammation after eating and improve feelings of fullness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves consuming peanut meals, potential side effects could include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions for those sensitive to nuts. However, no significant side effects are expected from MUFA-rich meals.
