Brief Summary

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

Compare chronic (one week) of a 'normal' meat diet with one week of mycoprotein consumption, with or without a reduced nucleotide content, on markers of metabolic health, such as uric acid concentrations, blood glucose control and blood lipid profiles.

Study Groups

Animal protein based diet

Seven day fully controlled normocaloric diet (1.2 g/ kg body weight of protein per day), with the main protein source at the two main meals (lunch and dinner) being provided by animal products (meat and fish).

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Animal protein based diet

Intervention Type OTHER

Low-nucleotide mycoprotein based diet

Seven day fully controlled normocaloric diet (1.2 g/ kg body weight of protein per day), with the main protein source at the two main meals (lunch and dinner) being provided by nucleotide-depleted mycoprotein products (commercial Quorn products).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Low-nucleotide mycoprotein based diet

Intervention Type OTHER

High-nucleotide mycoprotein based diet

Seven day fully controlled normocaloric diet (1.2 g/ kg body weight of protein per day), with the main protein source at the two main meals (lunch and dinner) being provided by nucleotide-rich mycoprotein products.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
