In this study the investigators aimed at verifying whether consumption of a sheep cheese, naturally enriched in ALA, CLA and VA, would modify the plasma lipid and endocannabinoid profiles in mild hypercholesterolemic subjects. This study was a 3-week, randomized, double blind, controlled, cross over clinical trial, conducted at the State Hospital Brotzu in Cagliari, Italy. The subjects were randomly assigned to eat 90g/d of the control or enriched cheese for 3 weeks, with a cross over after 3 weeks of washout.
