The Impact of Pastured Livestock Food Consumption on Fatty Acid and Metabolomic Profiles
Abstract
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of consuming meat and eggs from regenerative/pastured versus conventional farming practices on health biomarkers in middle-aged adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How does consumption of pastured animal products influence red blood cell omega-3 fatty acid levels, inflammatory markers, and metabolomic profiles compared to conventional animal products?
What are the potential metabolic health benefits or risks associated with consuming animal products from regenerative farming practices?
Researchers will compare participants consuming pastured meat and eggs to those consuming conventional meat and eggs to determine differences in health outcomes.
Participants will:
Consume study-provided chicken thighs, ground beef, ground pork, and eggs for 16 weeks.
Attend clinic visits for blood, urine, and stool sample collection before and after the intervention.
Complete dietary assessments to monitor compliance.
Conditions: Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
Primary outcome: Red Blood Cell (RBC) Omega-3 Fatty Acid Levels.
Enrollment: 80 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 80 participants or records.
