Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of a dietary intervention that includes the consumption of a novel functional yogurt (enriched with probiotics and polyphenols) on the blood biomarkers of healthy participants.

Description:

After having been informed about the study and the potential risks, all participants giving written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry (inclusion criteria). At baseline (t0), a fasting blood sample will be taken by venipuncture from the participants, and they will be randomly assigned in a double-blind manner (investigator and participant) to one of the intervention groups, i.e. meal including the consumption of the functional yogurt (yogurt enriched with probiotics and polyphenols) or consumption of yogurt enriched with probiotics or consumption of placebo yogurt. The participants have to finish their meals within 15 minutes (t1) and after the meal, blood sampling will be repeated for the times, t2 = 30 min, t3 = 90 min, t4 = 180min. After a washout period of 7 days, the participants will consume the functional yogurt, or the yogurt enriched with probiotics, or the placebo yogurt, in a cross-over design, and the blood sampling will be carried out as described above. Finally, after a washout period of 7 days, the participants will consume the functional yogurt, or the yogurt enriched with probiotics or the placebo yogurt in a cross-over design, and the blood sampling will be carried out as described above. Throughout the interventional period participants' dietary intake, anthropometrical data, medical history, and dietary habits will be monitored.

Intervention

Other:
• Consumption of a meal with yogurt enriched with probiotics immobilized on oat flakes and polyphenols
Participants will consume a meal including 200g of yogurt enriched with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus probiotics (3*10^9 cfu/g) immobilized on oat flakes (1g) and polyphenol-rich lyophilized extract (250mg) of Cistus Albidus (77,3 mg GAE/g), as well as two slices of white bread (80g) with butter (30g). Then blood biomarkers will be examined to determine the effect of functional yogurt on postprandial glycemia and lipemia
• Consumption of a meal with yogurt enriched with probiotics immobilized on oat flakes
Participants will consume a meal including 200g of yogurt with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus probiotics (3*10^9 cfu/g) immobilized on oat flakes (1g), as well as two slices of white bread (80g) with butter (30g). Then blood biomarkers will be examined to determine the effect of probiotic-enriched yogurt on postprandial glycemia and lipemia.
• Consumption of a meal with plain Yogurt with oat flakes
Participants will consume a meal including 200g of plain yogurt containing 1g of oat flakes, as a placebo, as well as two slices of white bread (80g) with butter (30g). Then blood biomarkers will be examined to determine the effect of probiotic-enriched yogurt on postprandial glycemia and lipemia.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from baseline in metabolic health	Blood samples will be obtained after an overnight, 12-h fasting and 30, 90 and 180 min after meal consumption. Blood serum analysis will include assessment of lipidemic profile [i.e. Total Cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), Triglycerides (TG)], insulin, cortisol and uric acid.	3 hours
Primary	Change from baseline in blood glucose	Blood samples will be obtained after an overnight, 12-h fasting and 30, 90 and 180 min after meal consumption. Blood plasma analysis will include assessment of glucose metabolism [i.e. Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG)]	3 hours
