The Human Metabolic Profile and Gut Microbiota Under Various Dietary Quality

- Registration Number
- NCT05837858
- Lead Sponsor
- Peking University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this food intervention study is to screen/validate the whole grain food intake biomarker in health Chinese's population.
- Detailed Description
Although increased consumption of whole grains (WGs) is associated with improved health outcomes, the dietary intake assessment and health mechanisms for WGs or WG-containing food remain unresolved. In addition, information regarding its consumption and health effects in Chinese people is scarce. Biomarkers of WGs intake would allow a more accurate assessment of its consumption in nutrition studies. The investigators want to perform a crossover study where participants were subjected to a WG-wheat flour or a refine wheat-flour Chinese diet. Using a metabolomics approach, the investigators aimed to identify the WG-specific metabolites present in plasma/urine after consumption WG or WG foods, including new candidate biomarkers of WG intake.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in metabolite profiles present in blood plasma and urine before the dietary intervention and in kinetics over 24 hours. Baseline and 0-24 hours after intervention food intake Metabolite profiles analyzed using a non-targeted metabolomics approach and targeted metabolomics approach with a Orbitrap Mass Analyzer. Blood plasma samples collected at time 0 hours, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours. Urine fractions collected at 0-2 hours, 2-4 hours, 4-6 hours, 6-9 hours, 9-12 hours, 12-24 hours and 24-48 hours. Identification of biomarkers of acute intake of the foods of interest through the comparison of specific metabolomes after single dose of WG food or refined grain food in Chinese population.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The influence of gut flora on whole grain markers after the administration of the test meal Gut flora abundance and metabolites level correlation analysis
