Participants needed for nutrition study
K-State researchers are recruiting participants for a study examining the impact of resistant starch on metabolic health. All visits will take place at the Physical Activity and Nutrition Clinical Research Consortium, or PAN-CRC, on the third floor of the Lafene Health Center building.
Participants in the study will learn about their health and receive benefits:
- Body fat and bone density using a DXA scan — valued at approximately $250.
- Fasting and postprandial glucose.
- $140 cash compensation.
Participants must: be between the ages of 18 and 64; overweight/obese BMI; have no diagnosed metabolic health issues — diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, etc.; willing to consume a starch/water beverage and glucose beverage at multiple visits; and available to commit approximately 21 hours of their time over seven separate visits.
Twenty spots are currently available.
