Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disease and a growing public health problem worldwide. This clinical condition is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
Açaí Juçara is a brazilian fruit, rich in antioxidants, like anthocyanin. This compound have antioxidative and
The proposed study will be conducted in humans according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All subjects will review and sign an Informed Consent Form approved by the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institutional Review Boards (IRB) prior to screening.
The proposed study is a randomized,
Anthropometrics. Measurements were collected from participants using the validated segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (SECA mBCA 515, Hamburg, Germany). Fat mass (%) and estimated visceral adipose (L) were used for analysis.
High-Fat Meal Challenge. The high-fat meal contained
The effect of the consumption of fruit-based drinks, sweetened and rich in bioactive compounds has been evaluated in acute and chronic clinical studies. They have been carried out at the Catholic University of Murcia, in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of Human Studies and approved by the
This acute intervention study will have a randomised controlled crossover design where the volunteers will return for 4 stand-alone study sessions. All study procedures will be carried out at the Human Nutrition Unit (HNU) of the Rowett Institute.
The first study session will be an oral glucose
The primary aim of this cross-over designed, placebo controlled, acute dietary intervention study, is to prospectively recruit participants on the basis of anthocyanin metabolism profiles (based on profiles confirmed in our previous studies) following a 'blueberry challenge'. Acute cardio and
In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=10) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. Participants were >18 years of age, not pregnant, not diabetic, with no unresolved infections or
In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals (n=26) who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. Participants were >18 years of age, not pregnant, not diabetic, with no unresolved infections or
1. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ingesting a flavonoid-rich supplement on total urine polyphenol concentration and shifts in blood metabolites related to flavonoid intake in healthy but overweight/obese community-dwelling adults.
2. Secondary objectives are to
Obesity prevalence is increasing around the world and the United Kingdom is no exception. Latest statistics show that approximately 25% of the UK population is obese and is predicted to rise to 70% by 2020 if present trends continue. Obesity is particularly widespread in Scotland where approximately
To investigate the effect of Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa L.) juice polyphenols on platelet function and other CVD risk factors a three-arm, crossover design, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial will be performed in apparently healthy subjects at moderate CVD risk.
Recruited
The investigators plan to conduct a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to characterize the potential effects of anthocyans, purified from bilberries and blackcurrants, on metabolic abnormalities commonly associated with type 2 pre-diabetes.
Anthocyanins (ANT), a particular class of flavonoids that can be found in red wine and red fruits, have been associated with relevant health benefits. It has become clear that the flavonoid bioactive forms in vivo are not necessarily those which occur in nature, but metabolites arising from them
Sixteen overweight/obese volunteers from the Aberdeen area will be recruited into a randomised controlled study. Volunteers will be randomised into four groups matched for BMI and age and given 200 grams of blackcurrants (which contain anthocyanins) or greencurrants (which naturally contain no
