Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates whether the consumption of California dried plums can be beneficial to your health. Previous studies using dried plums have shown beneficial effects on bone and cardiovascular health. In addition the investigators hope to learn how dried plums might change your bowel habits, and if the carbohydrates in the plums are fermented in your digestive tract.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary C-telopeptide, beta-cross-linked (CTX), a marker of bone resorption To determine whether short-term (two weeks) intake of California dried plums will improve markers of bone health, as measured by a serum marker of bone remodeling called C-telopeptide, beta-cross-linked (CTX) Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
Secondary Peripheral artery tonometry (PAT), a vascular function measure To determine whether short-term (two weeks) intake of California dried plums will improve vascular function, as measured using peripheral artery tonometry (PAT). Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
Secondary Breath hydrogen To determine the extent in which dried plum intake changes colonic fermentation products in dried plums. Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
Secondary Complete metabolic panel Blood analyses will include measurements of complete blood cell count, comprehensive metabolic panel, and lipid profile. Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
Secondary Body weight Body weight will be recorded at baseline and after two weeks of dried plum intake. Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
Secondary Blood pressure The baseline office blood pressure measurement will be obtained (3 measurements 5 minutes apart after a 15 minute rest). Change measures ("baseline and 2 weeks")
