| Brief purpose of the study: | The purpose of this research study is to find out whether and how too much protein in the diet can cause atherosclerosis (fatty plaque build-up in blood vessels) and whether different types of proteins, like those from animal-derived foods (such as meats and dairy) versus those from plants, have different effects on the factors that cause atherosclerosis. |
