NCT02427555

Brief Summary

The main objective is to investigate gut microflora composition in relation to cardiometabolic risk markers, and to investigate the effects of 3 days intervention with a barley kernel based product on these variables.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in glucose regulation

    blood glucose concentrations are measured fasting and postprandially a standardised breakfast after interventions with barley based bread and white wheat bread, respectively

    Changes in fasting and postprandial blood glucose concentrations after 3 days intervention with a barley based bread in comparison to 3 days intervention with a white wheat based bread

  • Changes in colonic microbiota composition after intervention with barley

    Gut microbiota composition are characterised after interventions with barley based bread and white wheat bread, respectively

    Changes in colonic microbiota composition after 3 days intervention with a barley based bread in comparison to 3 days intervention with a white wheat based bread

  • nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP in TCF7L2)

    investigate nucleotide polymorphisms that associate with cardiometabolic traits, in particular the SNP in TCF7L2
