Intervention Study on Molibdenum Biofortification Vegetables (

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the project is to study of the influence of Lettuce crop enriched with Molibdenum on hematological parameter. Secondary outcome to find out Molibdenum presence in urine in order to evaluate vegetables, like little crop, as Molibdenum biocarrier.

Clinical Trial Description

everal human pathologies are caused by deficiencies of some mineral elements. These deficiencies can be overcome through careful dietary diversification and mineral supplementation. An alternative or even complementary way is represented by the intake of bio-fortified foods. In the field of mineral deficiency increasing the bioavailable mineral concentration in vegetables intended for human consumption; can be a useful tool to prevent many harmful pathologies. Therefore, in this scenario, it appears very important to identify the right dosages and the most effective methods of administration to bio-fortify vegetables with a strong nutritional-health connotation. The present project aim to investigate the benefits of fortified food intake in a cohort of healthy individuals. Specifically, we have fed healthy individuals with lettuce enriched with Molibdenum and collected plasma and urine samples after 7-10 days. Each subject was subjected to two venous blood samples taken at the beginning of the observation and at the end. The samples thus obtained will be transported in certified containers for the safe transport of biological samples, and, subsequently, processed by the experimenters at the laboratories of the Molecular Biology section of the University of Palermo. Serum and plasma will be obtained from each blood sample. All information thus obtained will be recorded in a database in which each person will be identified with a numerical code, in order to comply with current privacy regulations. Body weight, Barefoot standing height, Body mass index, Body composition will be measured in the different groups of study. Samples will be analyzed and compared for glucose, albumin, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, creatinine, AST, ALT, γ-GT, ALP, bilirubin, Ferritin, free Iron, transferrin, total proteins, Magnesium, Calcium, insulin, osteocalcin, hematocrit, hs-CRP, Bone metabolism (Osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone, CTX, Calcitonin), Vitamin D Calcium, Phosphate, Potassium, gastric hormones ( GIP, GLP1, GLP2, ghrelin, glucagon, PYY, CCK) oxidative stress markers (LDL-ox, AGE, urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F (PGF)2alpha) and inflammatory markers(IL-1, TNF, IL-6, IL-10) ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
