Brief Summary

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

The production of protein rich animal products is associated with a large environmental burden, and with ethical considerations. Additionally, the over-consumption of meat might be associated with detrimental effects to health.

Using mycoprotein, a food ingredient derived from the fermentation of a fungus, as a meat substitute could result in environmental benefits, and could have a role in managing obesity, diabetes and improving metabolic health. However, naturally produced mycoprotein has a high nucleotide content and little is known about the impact of nucleotides in uric acid levels and other health markers.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal based on nucleotide rich mycoprotein on uric acid concentrations and other markers of health.

Low nucleotide meal

Mixed meal containing mycoprotein with a reduced nucleotide content (\~ 2% nucleotides)

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Low nucleotide meal

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will consume a mixed meal (sandwich) containing a nucleotide depleted mycoprotein product (low in nucleotides)

High nucleotide meal

Mixed meal containing mycoprotein with a high nucleotide content (\~ 10% nucleotides)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High nucleotide meal

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will consume a mixed meal (sandwich) containing a non nucleotide depleted mycoprotein product (high in nucleotides)
