NCT01767077

Brief Summary

Investigate the effects of milk fat with or without milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) on blood lipid profile, vascular function, insulin sensitivity, inflammation and gene expression. Overweight subjects will be randomized to one of 2 groups with different types of dairy products: 1)butter oil; 2) cream (milk fat with MFGM).
