Could 4-Week Walnut Consumption Influence Oxidative and Inflammatory Status in Middle-Aged Adults with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors? Findings from a Randomized Controlled Trial
This first RCT targeting a group of middle-aged adults at risk of developing MetS shows that short-term (4 weeks) daily walnut consumption did not significantly alter oxidative stress and inflammation parameters, thus potentially contributing to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Further research is needed to investigate the impact of daily walnut consumption over a longer period (>3 months) on oxidative and inflammatory status in the middle-aged population and its potential to positively impact MetS biomarkers.
