简要总结
Acute, randomized, placebo controlled, double blind, postprandial crossover study in male subjects. 4 intervention arms consisting of control, orange juice, whole orange, and processed whole orange to determine the effect of the interventions on the primary measure of flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and additional biomarkers of health. The study will also identify and quantify the main micronutrients and phytochemicals in each of the products and will identify and quantify the main micronutrients and phytochemicals and their metabolites in the subjects' plasma and/or urine. A subset of the study population (n=24) will be invited to participate in an additional arm of the main study which is summarised below.
