Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Amendment as of 15/05/2008: Please note that the primary outcome measure was assessed in only 20 participants.<br><br> Acute effects of both coffees (caffeinated and decaffeinated) on endothelial function, measured as Flow Mediated Dilation, and on glucose metabolism, as blood concentrations of glucose, insulin and c-peptide, will be measured in each occasion before, 30 and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Amendment as of 15/05/2008: Please note that all secondary outcome measures were assessed in only 20 participants, except the QTc interval measurement (no. 3 below), which was carried out for all participants.<br><br> 1. Intra-renal haemodynamic measurements (resistance and pulsatility indexes), obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions<br> 2. Blood pressure, obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions<br> 3. Electrocardiogram with QTc interval measurement, obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions<br> 4. A blood sample will be collected before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions and the serum samples will be frozen at -80°C for measurement of some cytokines (Interleukin-6 [IL-6], Tumour Necrotising Factor [TNF]-alpha, etc.)<br>
