NCT02259205

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a yogurt enriched with bioactive lipids extracted from olive mill waste in platelet aggregation and other inflammatory and oxidative stress markers. The study will include three groups: the intervention group will receive the enriched yogurt while the other two groups will serve as controls (plain yogurt and no yogurt consumption).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in Platelet aggregation

    The ability of platelets to aggregate will be measured in platelet rich plasma (PRP) of volunteers using PAF, thrombin and ADP as aggregating factor.

    0 (baseline), end of 4th week and 8th week

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Changes in Blood lipid profile

    0 (baseline), end of 4th week and 8th week

  • Changes in Glucose and Insulin

    0 (baseline), end of 4th week and 8th week

  • Changes in Gastro-intestinal symptoms

    0 (baseline), end of 4th week and 8th week

  • Change in Dietary intake

    0 (baseline), end of 8th week

  • Changes in Oxidative stress

    0 (baseline), end of 4th week and 8th week

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
