Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was the investigation of the postprandial metabolic responses, after the intake of a traditional, Ladotyri Mytilinis cheese, compared to corresponding responses after an Italian Parmesan cheese consumption, in healthy participants.

Description:

A pilot cross-over, randomized and single-blinded, intervention-clinical trial was conducted, in ten healthy men and women subjects, aged eighteen to thirty years, after random allocation into the control and the intervention group, received a high-fat and carbohydrates meal, containing Ladotyri Mytilinis (the authentic nonrefrigerated recipe) or Italian Parmesan, PDO cheeses. After a washout week, participants consumed the same meals, conversely. Differences on postprandial responses of 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.
