Study summary

Double-blind cross-over intervention where the volunteers were randomized into two groups who, after receiving nutritional counseling, received two formulations in the form of a cookie: Group 1, commercial formulation and Group 2, a C. quinoa-based formulation for 12 days. Volunteers received nutritional advice and did not undergo dietary limitation(s) along the study periods. After the first period, volunteers underwent a washout stage before being included in the group to receive the opposite treatment to that received in the first stage. Blood and fecal samples were taken at both initial (i.e., visit 1, visit V3) and final (visit V2, visit 4) check-up visits from the volunteers at each study period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Blood levels of triglycerides

    Influence of the formulation(s) to preserve the peripheral physiological level of triglycerides (below 150 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  2. Blood levels of cholesterol_LDL

    Influence of the formulation(s) to preserve the peripheral physiological levels of Cholesterol\_LDL (below 100 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  3. Blood levels of insulin

    Influence of the formulations to preserve the peripheral physiological level of insulin (fasting insulin between 2.6 - 24.9 µIU/mL)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  4. Blood levels of cholesterol_HDL

    Influence of the formulation(s) to preserve the peripheral physiological levels of Cholesterol\_HDL (between 40-60 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Twelve days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Peripheral blood monocytes

    Impact of the formulation in the proportion (% relative to the total CD45+ population) of peripheral monocytes with a phenotype CD45+CD33+CX3CR1+

    Time frame: Twelve days

  2. Safety and tolerance

    Values of GPT (between 5-37 U/L)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  3. Antropometry

    Parameters as 'body weight' (kilograms) and height (meters) will be aggregated to calculate the 'body mass index (BMI)' (kg/m\^2)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  4. Blood levels of glucose

    Impact of the formulation(s) in the fasting glycaemia (levels between 80-110 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Twelve days

  5. Blood concentration of innate lymphoid cell precursors

    Impact of the formulation(s) in the proportion (% relative to the total CD117+ cells) of innate lymphoid precursors with a phenotype CD117+KLRG1+

    Time frame: Twelve days

  6. Safety and tolerance

    Values of GOT (between 5-50 U/L)

    Time frame: Twelve days
