PRIMARY FEASIBILITY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the feasibility of establishing a diet intervention trial with longitudinal microbiome collection in Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) Lung Cancer Screening Clinic (OSUCCC-LCSC). PRIMARY SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the

This study will investigate the effects of red raspberry in a relevant human model of metabolic disturbance to understand the relationship between red raspberry intake, metabolic and immune- balance and cognitive and psychomotor performance in older/over weight adults. A secondary goal of the

High glycemic index (GI) foods generally contain simple sugars and/or highly processed and refined carbohydrates (e.g., instant oatmeal and white bread). These foods are rapidly digested, which raises blood glucose and insulin to higher concentrations and more rapidly compared to low GI food items.

The proposed study is a randomized, 3-arm, diet-controlled, cross-over study using a multi-sampling postprandial paradigm to evaluate the relative bioavailability and absorption/kinetic profile of red raspberry polyphenols consumed with a typical American breakfast meal and further to determine the

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To conduct a dose-escalation study to determine safety and compliance of varying lyophilized black raspberry (LBR) delivery vehicles (a gummy confection and a nectar) at two different doses. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To precisely quantify changes in the content and distribution

A high-fat, high-calorie challenge meal is administered to induce an inflammatory response in overweight and obese adult males. Serum levels of CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 are measured prior to the challenge meal and at various times (1,2,4,8, and 12 hours) after the challenge meal. The challenge meal

Red raspberries are an excellent source of numerous polyphenolic antioxidants. The bioactivity of these compounds have been implicated in many biological pathways and may function to reduce the risk of numerous chronic diseases. We are conducting an intervention study with frozen red raspberries on
