Measured as the difference in Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) during fasting and postprandial states

Based on the Respiratory Quotient (RQ) from RMR measurement and urinary urea, the proportion of carbohydrate, fat and protein used for energy production will be estimated.

Clinical Trial of Chinese Formula AMP-1915 on Metabolic Syndrome

Phase 0 Clinical Trial of Chinese Formula AMP-1915 on Metabolic Syndrome

Patients' FBG from both placebo and AMP-1915-treated group was collected before treatment as a baseline and after 3-month treatment.
The difference between these two time points presents the drug effect.

Patients' blood from both placebo and AMP-1915-treated group was collected before treatment as a baseline and after 3-month treatment. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TCH), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) were measured.
The difference between these two time points presents the drug effect, separately.

Patients' insulin concentration from both placebo and AMP-1915-treated group was collected before treatment as a baseline and after 3-month treatment.
The difference between these two time points presents the drug effect.

Patients' body weight from both placebo and AMP-1915-treated group was measured before treatment as a baseline and after 3-month treatment.
The difference between these two time points presents the drug effect.

Blackberry Flavonoid Absorption and Effects on Intestinal Bacteria

Feces will be analyzed for bacterial typing at 0 and 4 weeks of each diet period.

Gene expression in whole blood will be evaluated at the beginning and end of each diet period, through global gene expression using the Affymetrix platform. Changes in specific genes observed with global gene expression technology will be confirmed through RT-PCR.

Blood, urine, and feces will be analyzed by a technique called metabolomics, which is a broad sampling of metabolites.

Biomarkers of cancer risk such as oxidative stress and inflammatory markers will be analyzed at the beginning and end of each diet period.

Lipopolysaccharide will be measured in the blood as a measure of gut leakiness.
