The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Egg diet
Other interventions - Egg-free Diet
Other interventions - Control Diet

Experimental: Egg Diet - Egg diet, contains 2 eggs per day and limits saturated fat to 6% of energy intake. Cholesterol intake is 600mg/day. Protein and carbohydrate levels will be maintained at 20% and 40% of energy intake, respectively. This diet will be followed for 5 weeks.

Active comparator: Egg-free Diet - Egg-free diet, limits cholesterol to 300 mg/day (no eggs) with saturated fat intake at 12% of energy intake. Protein and carbohydrate levels will be maintained at 25% and 40% of energy intake, respectively. This diet will be followed for 5 weeks.

Active comparator: Control Diet - Comparator diet based on the average Australian diet, limited to 1 egg per week, with saturated fat intake at 12% of energy intake. Cholesterol intake is 600 mg/day. Protein and carbohydrate levels will be maintained at 25% and 40% of energy intake, respectively. This diet will be followed for 5 weeks.
