A randomized controlled cross-over trial of differences in acute effects on serum metabolites from isocaloric meals based on red meat, fatty fish, or soy protein.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Reducing red meat intake in the Western diet is beneficial for health and the environment. However, red meat is nutrient-rich, so understanding the impact of substituting it with other protein sources such as fish or plant-based proteins is essential, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to study the postprandial response in serum metabolites in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) after intake of red meat, fatty fish, and soy protein.

Methods

Women with RA (n = 24) consumed isocaloric meals that included burgers made from either red meat, fatty fish, or soy protein in a crossover design. Blood samples were taken in fasting state before the meal (0 h) and at intervals up to 5 h after eating.
