Novel quinoa-enriched biscuits improve CVD risk markers in older adults: a randomised crossover trial with a novel food product

Anthropometrics and fasted blood samples were obtained before and after intervention, and samples were analysed for lipid profiles on the iLab 650 Clinical Chemistry auto-analyser and for total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations by GC-MS(4).

Description
Summary:Anthropometrics and fasted blood samples were obtained before and after intervention, and samples were analysed for lipid profiles on the iLab 650 Clinical Chemistry auto-analyser and for total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations by GC-MS(4). HDL 0·06 0·32 −0·11 0·30 0·005 Total PUFA (mg/ml) −0·02 0·13 −0·03 0·10 0·072 BMI, body mass index; LDL, low density lipoprotein; HDL, high density lipoprotein; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid. *Response to treatment (after–before) were significantly different between groups, P < 0·05 (1-tailed paired t-test). Consumption of novel quinoa-enriched biscuits produced favourable changes in body weight, BMI and circulating cholesterol concentrations, which may contribute to lowered CVD risk in free-living older adults.
