Popis: Although pistachios have been shown to improve cardiometabolic biomarkers in diseased and at-risk populations, less research has been conducted on young, healthy individuals. Furthermore, some but not all research indicates that exercise acutely improves cardiometabolic markers; however, it remains unclear as to why outcomes vary among studies. This research evaluated secondary aims of a study designed to assess the impacts of pistachios on recovery from vigorous eccentrically-biased exercise. Here we examined the short-term (two weeks) effects of two different doses (1.5 oz/d and 3.0 oz/d) of pistachios and a water-only control on the biomarkers of metabolic health in young adult men. This was followed by daily blood collection for three consecutive days after a 40-min downhill run. Twenty-seven participants completed each of three conditions in a counterbalanced randomized order. Plasma biomarkers (lipid profile, glucose, and insulin) were measured at the end of each 2-week feeding period immediately before the exercise bout and again 24, 48, and 72 h thereafter. Two weeks of pistachio consumption failed to elicit changes in any biomarker (p
