Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from Baseline (0 hr) in untargeted PBMC gene expression profile at 2 hr and 4 hr

    The venous blood samples will be taken for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Extracted total RNA will then be used for running RNA-seq/whole-transcriptome shotgun sequencing (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA)

    Prior to the initial intervention at 0 hr and after intervention at 2 hr and 4 hr.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Subjective appetite ratings using standard subjective 100 mm VAS

    Prior to the initial intervention at 0 min and after intervention at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min.

  • Metabolic biomarkers

    Prior to the initial intervention at 0 min and after intervention at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min.

  • Metabolite profile

    Prior to the initial intervention at 0 min and after intervention at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min.
