NCT04190706

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the synergistic effects of daily consumption of food products fortified with bioactive components (fibres, polyphenols, omega-3, Slow Digestible Starch) for 9 weeks, compared to the daily intake of standard food products on low-grade inflammation in cardiometabolic risk subject. The inflammatory parameters will be assessed in fasting and in postprandial period after the consumption of a hyper-carbohydrate and hyper-lipidic test meal called Flexmeal. A metabolic stress will be induced by a fructose ingestion challenge during the last 6 days of interventional period.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline postprandial plasma endotoxemia binding protein kinetics: LBP (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) and CD14 (Cluster of differentiation 14)

    LBP and CD14 proteins will be measured at time 0, 120 and 300 after test meal intake

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Change from baseline fasting and postprandial plasma inflammatory markers: MCP-1, RANTES, IFNγ, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, CRPus, adiponectin

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

  • Change of fasting and postprandial plasma inflammatory endotoxemia LPS (lipopolysaccharide)

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

  • Change from baseline fasting and postprandial plasma endothelial function markers: Human CVD Panel 2, Lipocalin-2/NGAL, Myeloperoxidase, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, ADAMTS13, D-dimer, GDF-15, Myoglobin, sP-Selectin, Serum Amyloid A

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

  • Change from baseline fasting plasma oxidative stress parameters: GSH, GSSG, Glutathion peroxidase/ reductase activity, MDA

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

  • Change from baseline body composition

    baseline, 8 and 9 weeks

  • +11 more secondary outcomes
