Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this interventional study was to investigate the postprandial effect of two types of functional crackers, with 10% grape seed flour or 40% barley flour, enriched with β-glucan, in metabolic biomarkers of healthy participants.

Description:

A pilot cross-over, controlled, randomized and single-blinded, intervention-clinical trial was carried out, in twelve healthy men and women, aged nineteen to sixty-five years, after random allocation into the control, the grape and the barley interventional groups, received a high-fat and high-carbohydrate meal, containing wheat flour or wheat and 10% grape seed flour or wheat and 40% barley flour, enriched with β-glucan, crackers. Participants consumed the same meals, allocating in cross-over order, with 1 washout week after each trial period. Differences on the metabolism of postprandial serum total, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL-), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-) cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides and uric acid levels, as well as of plasma total antioxidant capacity according to Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power method, were determined between groups in fasting, thirty minutes, one and a half hour, and three hours after meal intake.
