Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the effect of genetic variations after supplementation with Brazil nuts in healthy Brazilians. Briefly, all the participants will consume one nut a day for 2 months and will stop the intake for more 2 months. Five blood sampling collection will be performed in one month interval, starting at baseline and ending at 2 months without intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

Brazil nuts are the richest source of selenium in nature, a micronutrient that has essential functions in human physiology.

Selenium status can be measured by the quantification of biomarkers in the blood. Previous studies have shown that genetic polymorphisms can affect Se status and modulate risk for chronic diseases. In this study, five biomarkers will be quantified in the blood, before and after supplementation with Brazil nuts. The genetic variants will be used to stratify the biomarkers and multivariate linear regressions will be used to explore the influence of the polymorphisms on concentrations of the biomarkers . ;
