This study evaluates the blood lipid and glucose response to two burgers: 1) A plant-based meat alternative burger and 2) a regular beef burger in a cross-over trial.
Postprandial blood lipids and glucose are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study evaluates the postprandial response to consuming a plant-based meat-alternative burger and a regular beef burger. Ten participants will consume each burger on separate days. Blood lipids, glucose, and blood pressure will be assessed for six hours after each condition.
2,116 studies on the registry are indexed under Metabolic Syndrome; 347 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 10 is below the median of 60 across 1,572 interventional studies indexed under Metabolic Syndrome.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
