Understanding Vitamin E and High Blood Fat Levels
This study is looking at how high-fat meals affect vitamin E levels in your blood. Researchers want to understand if high levels of fat in the blood (hyperlipidemia) might prevent important nutrients like vitamin E from getting where they need to go in the body. You would receive three high-fat vitamin E-stripped meals as part of the study. The main goal is to measure the amount of vitamin E in your blood over 23 hours after these meals. This study is for people aged 18 to 65 who have lipid metabolism disorders (high blood fat levels), and healthy volunteers are also needed. The study is currently recruiting 48 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (high-fat meals). It plans to enroll 48 participants.
- What's involved
- You will have 3 or 4 clinic visits over 3 months, with the last visit requiring a 2-night stay in the clinic. You will undergo a physical exam and blood tests, and must stop taking dietary supplements before the study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your vitamin E levels will be measured from hour 1 to hour 23 after the intervention.
