Cardiometabolic Risk Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Mixed Spices on Cardiometabolic Function - the PolySPice (PSP) Study
The study will investigate whether having mixed spices rich in polyphenols can improve postprandial cardiometabolic response in healthy Chinese men.
Spices have been used for centuries to enhance food flavouring and to maintain health. Use of
spices as a culinary ingredient is common amongst people of all ethnicities within South and
East Asia. Spices are also one of the main sources of polyphenols in the Asian diet. Several
in vitro studies and some in vivo studies, mainly in animals have shown that individual
spices, including turmeric (containing curcumin), cinnamon (cinnimic acid), ginger, garlic
etc. have been shown to improve glucose and lipid metabolism.However, well-controlled
randomised trials, within the normal dietary context in humans are limited.
This study will be conducted using a three-way randomised crossover design using the Latin
square approach. In the two treatment sessions, each volunteer will consume a mixed spice
dish at two doses (i.e., 'small portion' or 'large portion' curry sauce), and rice as the
base ingredient. In the control session, the same base ingredient (rice) but without the
mixed spices will be served. The total amount of mixed spices consumed, to be made from dried
powders of turmeric, cumin, coriander, gooseberry (amla), cinnamon, clove and cayenne pepper,
will be 6 g and 12 g for small and large portion curries respectively. In addition, as added
vegetables, the curry meals will contain tomato, garlic, onion and ginger, whereas the
control meal will just have tomato and peeled aubergine, although, the total amount of
vegetables will remain the same across all dishes (treatment or control).
The primary objective of this study will be to measure postprandial and fasting changes in
blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides (TG), free fatty acids (FFA), 24h ambulatory blood
pressure (BP), endothelial function and inflammatory markers following consumption of
increasing doses of mixed spices in a single meal, on separate occasions.
The secondary objective of the study will be to monitor changes in blood levels of gut
hormones, plasma and urine metabolome including polyphenols such as benzoate and hippurate,
gut microflora content and function, as a result of the mixed spice intake. A subset of the
treatments (control and high spice dose only) will also have interstitial glucose monitored
continuously for a period of up to 3 days using the continuous glucose monitoring system
(CGMS).
