Egg protein health effect pilot study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a protein from eggs can help people who are at risk for diabetes or who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will eat a special egg product and have their health checked. It compares how healthy people and those with or at risk for diabetes respond.
