Effect of Consuming n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Rich Foods on Triglyceride Concentration and Lipoprotein Composition (NCT07004777)
Effect of Consuming n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Rich Foods on Triglyceride Concentration and Lipoprotein Composition in Individuals With Hypertriglyceridemia. Controlled Clinical Trial.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Hypertriglyceridemia is one of the most prevalent lipid profile disorders and is linked to a large proportion of mortality in Mexico and around the world. Various international treatment guidelines for hypertriglyceridemia have suggested the consumption of foods rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or their intake through supplementation as a complement to lifestyle changes. However, adherence to the consumption of foods and supplements containing these fatty acids is often limited due to lack of acceptance or unaffordability. For this reason the objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of including Mexican foods rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (chia seeds and pumpkin seeds) within a diet based on NCEP-ATPIII recommendations on triacylglycerol concentration and fatty acid profile in people with hypertriglyceridemia. The study will consist of a 4-week period in which one group of participants will be randomized into two treatment groups: 1)isocaloric diet based on the NCEP-ATPIII dietary recommendations; 2) isocaloric diet based on the NCEP-ATPIII dietary recommendations plus chia and pumpkin seeds. The effect of the dietary intervention will be assessed by concentration of triglycerides, fatty acids profile and lipoprotein analysis.
