A beverage (330 mL) made with lemon and maqui extracts and sweetened with sucralose was taken by participants, during 60 days. Beverages were made in a semi-industrial process in a pilot plant. Microbiological tests, quality controls and shelf-life assays were performed following legislation on beverages.
Concentrations of lemon and maqui extract are under industrial secret. The sweetener sucralose was added within the ranges established by law as maximums.
The beverage was carried out in the pilot plant of a company (Nutracitrus) with all the safety systems, tested by an external lab (Ecosur), apart from the routine controls themselves.
All ingredients were suitable for consumption and purchased from different companies with their respective certificates and conservation was at 5 º C for a maximum of 7 days, prior to administration to volunteers.

Final dataset will include data collected specifically for the study and data provided during screening in the medical history form. This includes some demographic information and data regarding family history of disease. We will make data and demographic information available to other investigators upon request. The dataset will be stripped of all unique identifiers and subject characteristics and prepared in accordance with all HIPAA regulations prior to release for sharing. Study outcome results will be submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov no later than one year after the trial's primary completion date.

All outcomes will be analyzed/assessed by subject identity number, which are assigned prior to randomization to experimental arm.

The intervention visit involves a test meal to be consumed by subjects attending the Human Nutrition Unit in the morning, following an overnight fast. The meal will be consumed within 15 minutes and blood (69 mL) and urine samples will be collected during 24 hours.
The test meals are designed to contain the same amount of proteins. Alternative protein meals: a number of bread buns for each meal containing individual alternative protein flours (green pea, lupin, hemp, buckwheat, fava beans). These will deliver 30 g of protein, the remainder being provided by white flour. The control (meat) meal: a lean beef steak containing 30 g of protein and a bun containing the same amount of white flour as used for the alternative protein bread buns.
The semi structured interview guide: will take place within the Human Nutrition Unit during one of the scheduled visits, once initial screening has taken place and participants have been selected. All interviews will be digitally recorded.

Each intervention visit will involve a test meal to be consumed by subjects attending the Human Nutrition Unit (HNU) in the morning, following an overnight fast. They will be provided with a meal, which will be consumed within 15 minutes and blood (69 mL) and urine samples will be collected during 24 hours .
Biomarkers of satiety as measured by gut-related hormones and subjective appetite using visual analogue scales, specifically to be collected during the meal over a three hour period, every 30 minutes. The energy intake measured for each volunteer after an ad libitum lunch (five hours after test meal).
Biomarkers of CVD risk including total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL), triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA).
Assessment of peripheral glycaemic control, fasting glucose, area under the curve combined with insulin data.

Plasma and urine markers of important phytochemical and protein metabolites will be quantitatively analysed to determine the systemic availability, in vivo concentrations and excretion times.

With regard to the social science component of the project, in-depth semi-structured interviews will be used for assessing the volunteers view towards diets rich in alternative plant proteins. For each volunteer will be conducted an digitally recorded interview(one hour), during one of the scheduled visits at the Human Nutrition Unit, once initial screening has taken place and participants have been selected.

The HOMA index will be calculated as the product of the fasting plasma insulin level (mU/mL) and the fasting plasma glucose level (mmol/L), divided by 22.5

Biomarkers of the non-enzymatic (NE-ADS) and enzymatic antioxidant defense system (E-ADS). For the NE-ADS, in addition to total plasma antioxidant capacity, malondialdhyde, and total carbonyl protein derivatives, plasma α-tocopherol, β-carotene, retinol, coenzyme Q and total blood glutathione will be determined. Furthermore, the amount of plasma oxidized LDL and urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and F2-isoprostanes will be measured. For E-ADS the activities of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase in red blood cells will be assessed.

Biomarkers of inflammation: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1)and polymorphonuclear neutrophils myeloperoxidase (MPO)

Biomarkers of cardiovascular risk:soluble endothelial selectin (sE-selectin), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (sVCAM-1), total and active tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (tPAI-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).

Gastrointestinal hormones involved in the control of satiety and insulin secretion i.e. active amylin, ghrelin (GHR), glucagon peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory peptide or gastric insulinotropic peptide (GIP), polypeptide YY 3-36, pancreatic polypeptide (PP).
Likewise, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and L-fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) will be determined

Whole genome gene expression analysis: This analysis will be carried out in a subset of 20 control and 20 experimental samples at four times: 160 arrays. The GeneChip® Human Exon 1.0 ST will be used for the gene expression analysis.
Validation by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR): In order to confirm the arrays results, a total of 93 differentially expressed genes in the experimental samples will be analyzed by RTPCR using low density arrays

Healthy Volunteers

The main objective of this study is to evaluate, in healthy volunteers with young children (50 and 65) and slightly overweight according to their usual diet, the effects of single dose (in postprandial period) and made repeated orange juice or orange flavanones purified on vascular function. The selection criteria for age and weight should, within a healthy population to select individuals who exhibit cardiovascular risk factors, and thus for which it should be a priori easier to identify a beneficial effect of dietary factors on the parameters associated with cardiovascular risk.
