Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the beneficial effects of an optimized berries extracts on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases prevention. Our hypothesis is that including a polyphenol rich berries extract in daily feeding will improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cells function, lipids and inflammatory profile, and oxidative stress markers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in cardiometabolic statute from baseline to the end of intervention.

    glucose and insulin concentrations during a 120-min euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, glucose and insulin concentrations during a 120-min oral glucose tolerance test, insulin sensitivity, c-peptide, C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels, triglycerides, total cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (cVLDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (cLDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (cHDL), apolipoprotein A-1 and B, oxidized-LDL, glucose disposition rate (GDR), insulin sensitivity measure (MI), beta-cells function

    At baseline (at the beginning of the intervention), and at the end of the intervention (6 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in nutritional variables from baseline to the end of the intervention.

    At baseline, and at the end of the intervention period (6 weeks)

  • Change in physical activity habits from baseline to the end of the intervention.

    ) At baseline, and at the end of the intervention period (6 weeks)

  • Change in anthropometric measurements from baseline to the end of the intervention.

    At baseline, and at the end of the intervention period (6 weeks)

Study Arms (2)

Phenol

EXPERIMENTAL

Men and women who are assigned to a 6 weeks experimental period where they consume the rich polyphenol berries extract mix.

Other: Uncontrolled nutritional intervention with a supplemental beverage

Control

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Men and women who are assigned to a 6 weeks experimental period where they consume a placebo.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

Men and women are assigned to an uncontrolled nutritional intervention where they have to consume every day one of the beverage. Half of the subjects consume the experimental beverage containing polyphenols from berries extracts, the other half consume a placebo beverage without polyphenols. The polyphenol containing beverage daily supply 1,84 g of a strawberry and cranberry extract. This amount give the equivalent of 333 mg of polyphenols, thus corresponding to a daily consumption of one cup of berries. The placebo beverage is also a fruit taste beverage, but without polyphenols. Both beverage are isocaloric, with same appearance and taste. A 2 weeks stabilisation period precede the 6 weeks experimental period. During these two periods, subjects are advise to maintain their habitual caloric intake and their habitual activity level, and to avoid consumption of particular food with a high polyphenol content.
