Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators examined the effects on post-digestion brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) and in vitro antioxidant capacity of 40% semolina flour replacement with sprouted chickpea flour.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the current study was to examine in-vitro and in-vivo effects of replacing 40% of semolina flour with sprouted chickpea flour for the use in pasta. Antioxidant capacity in-vitro was measured by Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, a test of in-vivo endothelial function, was performed for assessment of effects on post-digestion endothelial function. The investigators hypothesized that FMD would be higher after consuming 40% of semolina flour with sprouted chickpea flour pasta vs. 100% of semolina flour pasta.
