Metabonomics to Investigate Effects of Healthy Diets on Blood Pressure: the OmniHeart Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Hypertension
Registration Number
NCT03369535
Lead Sponsor
University of Kent
Brief Summary

To compare the urinary metabolomes on individuals undergone three different healthy diets--a carbohydrate-rich diet, a protein-rich diet, or a diet rich in unsaturated fat.

Detailed Description

BACKGROUND:

This study based on the OmniHeart dietary intervention study, a randomized, three period cross-over feeding study that compared the effects on blood pressure and plasma lipids of three DASH-like diets: a carbohydrate-rich (CARB) diet pattern, a rich in protein (PROT) and a rich in unsaturated (MUFA) fat, predominantly monounsaturated fat diet (see full details of OmniHeart dietary intervention https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT00051350).

This metabonomic study aims to evaluate the feasibility of identifying individuals showing variation in clinical response to three different healthy diets, with the purpose of reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabolic phenotyping approach.
