Acute Effect of Functional Crackers on Postprandial Metabolism — Crade23  

Healthy Clinical Trial

Official title: The Acute Effect of Functional Crackers, Enriched With Grape Seed Flour or With Barley Flour and β-glucans, on Postprandial Glycemic, Lipemic and Antioxidant Metabolism

Status Active, not recruiting

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.

Clinical Trial 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. ;
