Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of a high intake of industrially produced trans fatty acids for 16 weeks on abdominal obesity and risk markers of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in healthy, moderately overweight, postmenopausal women.

1

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Trans fat (soy bean oil)

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Industrially produced trans fatty acid from soy bean oil (15 g/d for 16 weeks). The fat (a total of 25 g/d) will be baked into buns.

2

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
