dc.description.abstractBackground: Substituting dietary meat and fish for mycoprotein, a fungal-derived food source rich in protein and fibre, decreases circulating cholesterol concentrations in laboratorycontrolled studies. However, whether these findings can be translated to a home-based setting, and to decrease cholesterol concentrations in overweight and hypercholesterolemic individuals, remains to be established. Objective: We investigated whether a remotely-delivered, home-based dietary intervention of mycoprotein-containing food products would affect various circulating cholesterol moieties and other markers of cardio-metabolic health in overweight (BMI >27.5 kg·m-2 ) and hypercholesterolaemic (>5.0 mmol·L-1 ) adults. Methods: Seventy-two participants were randomized into a controlled, parallel-group trial conducted in a free-living setting, in which they received home deliveries of either meat/fish control products (CON; n=39; BMI 33±1 kg·m-2 ; 13 males, 26 females) or mycoproteincontaining food products (MYC; n=33; BMI 32±1 kg·m-2 ; 13 males, 20 females) for 4 weeks. Fingertip blood samples were collected and sent via postal service before and after the dietary intervention period and analysed for concentrations of serum lipids, blood glucose and cpeptide. Results: Serum total cholesterol concentrations were unchanged throughout the intervention in CON, but decreased by 5±2% in MYC (from 5.4±0.2 to 5.1±0.2 mmol·L -1 ; P<0.05). Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations were also unchanged in CON, but decreased in MYC by 10±3% and 6±2% (both by 0.3±0.1 mmol·L-1 ; P<0.05). Serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and free triglyceride concentrations were unaffected in CON or MYC. Post-intervention, MYC Journal Pre-proof 3 displayed lower mean blood glucose (3.7±0.2 versus 4.3±0.2 mmol·L-1 ) and c-peptide (779±76 vs. 1064±86 pmol·L-1 ) concentrations (P<0.05) vs. CON. Conclusions: We show that a home-based dietary intervention of mycoprotein-containing food products effectively lowers circulating cholesterol concentrations in overweight, hypercholesterolemic adults. This demonstratesthat mycoprotein consumption is a feasible and ecologically valid dietary strategy to improve markers of cardio-metabolic health in an at-risk population under free living conditionsen_GB
