Clinical Trial Summary

Evidence from multiple experimental, epidemiological, and clinical studies indicate that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) may exert their cardiovascular (CV) protective effect, at least in part, by improving vascular endothelium-dependent function. Previously, the investigators demonstrated the significant beneficiary effect of consumption of n-3 PUFA-enriched hen eggs on microvascular endothelium-dependent reactivity, even in young healthy individuals. The hypothesis of this research is that the consumption of n-3 PUFAs in the form of functionally enriched chicken meet has a beneficial effect on vascular reactivity measured in different vascular beds, and the lipid profile with a positive effect on the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in healthy sedentary individuals. The main goal of this study is to investigate the influence of n-3 PUFAs functionally enriched chicken meet on vascular and endothelial function in a population of healthy young subjects and active athletes.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Microvascular endothelial function Cutaneous microvascular blood flow will be measured by Laser Doppler Flowmetry in response to vascular occlusion (post occlusive reactive hyperaemia - PORH), in response to iontophoresis of acetylcholine (ACh) and local thermal hyperemia (LTH). 3 weeks
Primary Macrovascular endothelial function Measurement of flow mediated dilation (FMD) of brachial artery using ultrasound. 3 weeks
Primary Cerebrovascular reactivity Measurement of cerebrovascular blood flow using transcranial color Doppler (TCD). 3 weeks
Secondary Lipid profile Measurement of plasma cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides level. 3 weeks
Secondary Oxidative stress status Measurement of Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS). 3 weeks
Secondary Systemic hemodynamics Non-invasive assessment of systemic hemodynamics using impedance cardiography (CardioScreen 2000) - SV Stroke Volume (mL), CO Cardiac Output (L/min) and SVRI Systemic Vascular Resistance Index (dyn.s.cm-5 m2). 3 weeks
Secondary Serum Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines, Chemokines, Growth Factors and Soluble Cell Adhesion Molecules Protein Concentration Measurement of serum protein concentration (pg/mL) of various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and soluble cell adhesion molecules by kits and panels for multiplex protein quantitation using the Luminex 200 instrument platform. 3 weeks
Secondary Body composition Body composition and body fluid status measurement by a four-terminal portable impedance analyzer. Based on the value of skin resistance (Ohm) empirically derived formulas (the original manufacturer's software) will be used to calculate the estimated Fat Free Mass (FFM kg) and Fat (Fat Mass kg). 3 weeks
Secondary Body fluid status Body fluid status measurement by a four-terminal portable impedance analyzer. Based on the value of skin resistance (Ohm) empirically derived formulas (the original manufacturer's software) will be used to calculate the estimated Total Body Water (TBW L), Extracellular Water (ECW L), Intracellular Water (ICW L), Plasma Fluid (PF L) and Interstitial Fluid (IF L). 3 weeks
Secondary Oxidative stress status Measurement of Ferric-Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP). 3 weeks
Secondary Oxidative stress status Measurement of enzyme activity assay of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). 3 weeks
