Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study tested the hypothesis that ground beef high in monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and low in saturated fat (SFA) would increase the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol concentration and low-density lipoprotein particle diameter. In a crossover dietary intervention, 27 free-living normocholesterolemic men completed treatments in which five 114-g ground beef patties/week were consumed for 5 weeks with an intervening 4-week washout period. Patties contained 24% total fat with a MUFA:SFA ratio of either 0.71 (low MUFA, from pasture-fed cattle) or 1.10 (high MUFA, from grain-fed cattle).
