The Effect of Daily Mango Intake on Cardiovascular Health

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiovascular Risk Factor
• Interventions: Other: No intervention; Other: Mango

• Registration Number: NCT03203187
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, Davis

Brief Summary

In the current proposal the investigators seek to evaluate the acute and short-term effects of mango intake on vascular and platelet function in postmenopausal women between 50 and 70 years old.

Our aims are 1) to determine if two weeks of daily mango intake will result in favorable changes in measures of vascular function, as measured using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) and platelet reactivity, in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. 2) to determine if two weeks of daily mango intake will change the fermentation capacity of gut microbiota.

Investigators hypothesize that the daily intake of 330 grams of mango (2 cups) will significantly increase PAT while reducing platelet aggregation after 2 hours and two weeks of daily intake.
