Background:Fasting-mimiking Diet (FMD) is a plant-based diet designed to attain fasting-like effect, firstly proposed on 2015. It requires people to limit calorie intake for 5 continuous days, and then return to their normal diet after completion about 25 days until the next cycle. In a clinical
The current proposal aims to fill some of these important research gaps with regard the dose and time-course of strawberry consumption in a population where dietary intervention may of particular benefit for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Participants
Background:Fasting-mimiking Diet (FMD) is a plant-based diet designed to attain fasting-like effect, firstly proposed on 2015[1]. It requires people to limit calorie intake for 5 continuous days, and then return to their normal diet after completion about 25 days until the next cycle. In a clinical
Since 1998, University of Connecticut (UCONN) undergraduate students have volunteered as part of a service- learning course to deliver a program called Husky Reads. Inspired by the nationally accepted American Academy of Pediatrics' program "Reach Out and Read," Husky Reads was first designed for
A randomized, double-blind, controlled crossover design will compare the short-term (two and four week) response to FDSP intake compared to an isocaloric control powder in overweight and obese adults. Twenty overweight or obese male or postmenopausal females (40-65 years of age) will be randomized
Previously, the investigators have shown that dietary berry fruit are able to reverse several parameters of brain aging, as well as age-related motor and cognitive deficits when fed to aged rats. They have shown that strawberry, in particular, can reduce oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory
All subjects will be evaluated the body weight and clinical nutrition assessment such as postural measurement, urine test and blood biomarker examination.
Regular consumption of dairy is associated with better body composition and lower incidences of type 2 diabetes and obesity. This may be due to dairy's ability to increase satiety and decrease post-prandial glycemia. However, most clinical studies have only investigated isolated dairy proteins (whey
The proposed study design is a 3-period randomized crossover dose-response study to evaluate the effect of freeze dried strawberry powder supplementation on LDL-C and vascular health. Research participants will be overweight or obese (BMI 25-39 kg/m^2) but otherwise healthy adults with moderately
Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and is associated with a higher risk of under five mortality. Approximately 250,000 to 500,000 children in developing countries become blind each year owing to vitamin A deficiency, with the highest prevalence in South
Purpose: Berries and mixed berry products exert acute effects on postprandial glycaemia and insulinemia, but very few berries have been studied, and primarily in normal weight subjects. Sea buckthorn and strawberry are compositionally widely different berries and may likely produce different
Children will be screened prior to participation with the expectation of enrolling 40 to randomize equally to either the control arm or one of the three intervention arms. This should assure that at least 10 participants would complete each intervention. The four groups are placebo (no bean powder
The specific aims are to:
1. Assess the effect of WGP compared to placebo on biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in obese subjects over 4 week intervention periods in a randomized, cross-over, double-blind study.
2. Determine the effects of WGP compared to placebo on lipid and
