NCT ID: NCT04276974 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Effects of an Organic Plant-rich Diet on Gut Microbiome and Vascular Function (ORGAMIC Pilot Study)

Start date: February 24, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Previous work have shown that consumption of foods rich in polyphenols, such as berries and cocoa, led to beneficial changes in the gut microbiota composition, as well as improvements in biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in healthy volunteers. In addition, recent studies suggest that pesticide exposure has a detrimental effect on the gut microbiome in human populations and laboratory animals.The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effects of short-term consumption of an organic and a non-organic plant rich diet on urinary polyphenol and pesticide levels, gut microbiome and selected biomarkers of cardiovascular health in a group of young healthy individuals. Healthy men and women participants (10) will be recruited for a 2-arm randomised crossover controlled trial. Urinary polyphenol and pesticide levels after consumption of an organic and non-organic plant rich diet for 4 days will be analysed. Changes in gut microbiome composition and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk (flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure and arterial stiffness) will also be investigated.

NCT ID: NCT04095949 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Absorption, Metabolism and Excretion of Artichoke Polyphenols in Healthy Individuals

Start date: July 17, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A number of studies have reported the presence of polyphenolic compounds in artichokes, being the most abundant the caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), which are esters between quinic acid and the hydroxycinnamate caffeic acid. The fate of artichoke polyphenols in humans after ingestion is currently unknown. The acute study will provide novel information on the bioavailability and metabolism of artichoke polyphenols, which will give important insights to understand the potential health benefits of artichoke consumption. Health men and women participants (n=8) aged between 18 to 40 years old will be recruited. Participants will consume a normal ration of artichokes once. The participants will provide the investigators with urine and blood samples for polyphenol analysis at baseline and at different time points until 24 hours.

NCT ID: NCT03995602 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

The Effects of Dragon Fruit Consumption on Vascular Function.

Start date: June 18, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Native to South America and South East Asia, the dragon fruit (pitaya) has become increasingly popular world-wide due to their vivid hue and bizarre structure. More importantly, their high levels of bioactive phytochemical betalains has sparked considerable scientific interest. Recent findings from in vitro and in vivo animal studies tentatively suggest that betalains may have ameliorative effects on vascular function. This will be a first randomised controlled trial aimed to explore the impact of dragon fruit consumption on blood pressure and other vascular parameters in healthy individuals. The study will feature a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled and crossover design with flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) as primary outcome along with blood pressure and arterial stiffness as secondary outcomes. Cardiovascular biomarkers as well as relevant metabolites will also be determined from blood and urine samples collected from participants.

NCT ID: NCT03553225 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Concord Grape Extract on Vascular Function in Healthy Men and Women

CONCARD
Start date: July 17, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Concord grape (Vitis Labrusca) is rich in polyphenols such as anthocyanins, flavanols, procyanidins and flavonols. Current reports investigating the effects of Concord grape (CG) consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk have provided mixed results. Studies were limited by small sample size or lacked a control arm. Moreover, subjects presented with CVD or CVD risk factors and thus to our knowledge, it remains unknown as to whether the consumption of Concord Grape (poly)phenols can maintain vascular function in healthy individuals. The aim of this study is therefore to examine both acute and chronic effects of Concord Grape on cardiovascular health by investigating whether daily consumption of Concord Grape Extract (CGE) for 12 weeks can affect biomarkers of CVD risk, including endothelial function, blood pressure and blood lipids, in young healthy men and women.

NCT ID: NCT03485716 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Metabolic Dynamics During Physical Activity

Start date: August 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to systematically Analyse the metabolome in capillary blood of healthy men and women at rest and during defined standardized physical activity under normobaric normoxia or hypoxia with a specific focus on metabolites and metabolic pattern related to energy metabolism. The metabolome analyses in capillary blood could give us also or more detailed insight into erythrocyte metabolic physiology because it is known for a longer time that the primary metabolism of the erythrocyte reflects its Oxygen Saturation via the glycolytic metabolites / intermediates pattern.

NCT ID: NCT03202654 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Effects of Corn and Coconut Oils on Lipoprotein Lipids, Insulin Sensitivity and Inflammation

Start date: June 22, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of corn oil and coconut oil on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations, and other aspects of the fasting lipoprotein lipid profile, as well as insulin sensitivity and an inflammatory marker, in men and women.

NCT ID: NCT02799498 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Compare Actions in Healthy Volunteer of 50 mg Etanercept Injection Using an Auto-injector Device and Manual Injection

Start date: October 2003
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to compare Pharmacokinetics of liquid etanercept that is administered to healthy subjects aged 18-55 by an auto-injector device and manual injection (each subject received both injections).

NCT ID: NCT02588534 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Men and Women

Open-label Study Using 50 Mg Liquid Etanercept Subcutaneous Injection in the Thigh to Compare an Auto-injector Device and a Manual Injection in Healthy Subjects

Start date: August 2004
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

A single-center, open-label, randomized study with a screening period of up to 21 days. Following that, eligible men and women will receive 50 mg of etanercept subcutaneously in the thigh to compare injection by auto-injection device to manual injection (each injection separated by 28 days)
