Efficacy of Almonds Added to Chronic Statin Therapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of 100-110 grams of almonds (about ¾ cupful) daily on the lipoprotein profile when given to patients on a statin drug. The study will compare the effects on the lipoprotein profile to patients who eat almonds and those patients not eating almonds.

Clinical Trial Description

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the changes in the lipid profile [LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, total cholesterol], LDL-C particle size, and the emerging risk factor Lp(a) when 100-110 g of almonds daily are added to statin therapy. Also, all subjects will receive Step I dietary counseling. ;
