Clinical Trial Summary

This research study will test the effects of almonds on immune functions and immune response to influenza vaccine in overweight older men and postmenopausal women


Clinical Trial Description

A free-living parallel, single-blind, RCT will be utilized. There will be two phases: Phase 1 - to examine the effects of Blueberries on plasma markers of immune strength, and Phase 2 - to assess the response to influenza vaccine following blueberry intake. Subjects will either consume their usual diet with (Blueberry group) or a placebo(control group) blueberries for 8 weeks, receive the influenza vaccination, and continue the intervention for another 4 weeks. The test food will be freeze-dried powder (FDP) (~ to 1 cup fresh blueberries) per day with the usual diet. The control will be the placebo powder with some guidelines to restrict all berries and other polyphenol-rich foods. The entire study will last 12 weeks. Participants will attend a baseline clinic at which time they will be randomized to one of the two groups. Clinic visits will occur at baseline, weeks 4 and 8 before, and week 4 after vaccination. ;
