Dietary Oxysterols and β-Cell Function Among African Americans

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes

In brief

African Americans (AAs) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than the general population. AAs are also more likely to eat foods that contain cholesterol oxides/oxysterols. Dietary oxysterols can harm the cells that produce insulin and decrease insulin production. This pilot study seeks to determine if removing dietary oxysterols with a plant-based diet will improve insulin production and decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes among AAs.
