Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of the study is to determine if eating walnuts enhances immune function, in older free-living men and postmenopausal women with overweight.


Clinical Trial Description

The main objectives of our proposed study are to determine the effect of walnut consumption on innate, acquired, and gut immunity by assessing whether the ingestion of walnuts enhances immune function, in older free-living men and postmenopausal women with overweight. To accomplish these objectives, a randomized controlled, parallel design study is proposed with two groups consuming their habitual diet, but with one (Walnut group) receiving 15% of their total energy as walnuts and the other (Control group) abstaining from eating any walnuts and limited amounts of other tree nuts and peanuts (up to <1 serving/wk). ;
