NCT03332927

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to assess the effects of whole egg consumption (12 per week), compared to energy-matched typical breakfast control foods, on insulin sensitivity and other markers of metabolic health, including fasting lipoprotein lipid levels and resting blood pressure.

    Up to 40 minutes - measured at baseline and end of each treatment period.

  • Glucose fractional disappearance rate from t = 10-40 min (Kg)

    Up to 40 minutes - measured at baseline and end of each treatment period.

  • Homeostasis model assessments of insulin sensitivity (HOMA%S)

    Up to 29 days for each treatment period

  • Beta-cell function (HOMA%B)

    Up to 29 days for each treatment period

  • Percent change in Total cholesterol (TC)

    Up to 29 days for each treatment period

Study Arms (2)

Egg based breakfast foods

EXPERIMENTAL

Study products delivering two eggs/day, 6 days per week, will be administered for the 4-week treatment period.

Other: Egg based breakfast foods

Non-egg based breakfast foods

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Study products delivering non-egg based control breakfast foods will be administered 6 days per week for the 4-week treatment period.

Other: Non-egg based breakfast foods

Interventions

Two eggs/day, 6 days per week provided as breakfast foods such as burrito-type roll-up, egg sandwich and omelet.

Egg based breakfast foods

Non-egg based control foods provided as breakfast foods 6 days per week such as waffles, ready-to-eat cereal, fruits and cheeses.

Non-egg based breakfast foods
