Mixed nut consumption improves brain insulin sensitivity: a randomized, single-blinded, controlled, crossover trial in older adults with overweight or obesity

CONCLUSIONS: Longer-term mixed nut consumption affected insulin action in brain regions involved in the modulation of metabolic and cognitive processes in older adults with overweight/obesity. Intrahepatic lipid content and different cardiometabolic risk markers also improved, but peripheral insulin sensitivity was not affected.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04210869 (ClinicalTrials.gov).PMID:38128733 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.12.010
