Intervention(s)
|
Based on a computer randomization plan, subjects are randomized to receive the two study diets in a random order. Participants follow the diets for eight weeks, followed by an eight week washout period where they follow their regular diet and then the other diet for eight weeks.
Polyphenol-rich (PR)-diet: Participants consume a diet developed to double the amount of polyphenols intake (as recorded in the population under study) providing three portion of polyphenol-rich food products daily (i.e about 750 mg of total polyphenols are added to the amount regularly introduced). The following polyphenol-rich products have been considered in the PR-diet: berries and derived products, blood oranges and derived products, pomegranate juice, renetta apple and purée, green tea and dark chocolate products.
The control diet (C-diet): Participants consume a comparable diet for eight weeks without thepolyphenol-rich products.
Before and after each study diet period (at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks), participants provide blood, urine and stool samples.
|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
Intestinal permeability is evaluated by measuring Zonulin serum levels using an ELISA kit at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks.
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
1. Fecal microbiota composition evaluated by 16S rRNA gene profiling with MiSeq-Illumina platform at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 2. Short chain fatty acids and polyphenol-derived metabolites measured with LC-MS system at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 3. Diet-induced changes in microbiota metabolism performed by NMR at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 4. LC-MS analysis are used for faecal water at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 5. Total blood bacterial load are assessed through a quantitative real-time PCR; taxomic profile investigated by 16S rRNA gene profiling with MiSeq-Illumina platform at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 6. Inflammatory markers, oxidative stress and related markers e.g. vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 performed through ELISA kit at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 7. DNA damage assessed through Comet Assay at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 8. Endotoxin by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay assessed to evaluate the inflammatory process and oxidative stress modulation at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks 9. Metabolomic analysis will be performed on HPLC-ESI-Q-ToF-MS and NMR to understand the interaction of the polyphenol rich diet with the secondary metabolites of microbiota at baseline, 8, 16 and 24 weeks
