Gout is a painful and often debilitating condition affecting around 3% of adults in the UK. It is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid which is deposited as crystals in joints, resulting in painful gout flares. Cherries and cherry products have received attention for

A randomized controlled double-blind crossover study with a baseline and two interventions. On day 1 (baseline), all subjects will have a lactate fingerstick measurement before and after the Wingate protocol. A random subsample (1/3 of subjects) will have 10 milliliters (2 teaspoon) of blood drawn

Osteoporosis in men is an important yet an understudied debilitating disease. To date, most therapies are directed towards postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the efficacy of these therapies is not established for male osteoporosis. Therefore, due to concerns regarding the increasing prevalence of male

Tart cherries are rich in bioactive components (i.e. flavonoids) that have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Inflammation and lipid peroxidation causes damage of skeletal muscle membranes during intense exercise. The damage of muscle increases the amount of time for muscle to recover

Study Design: This will be a single blinded, randomized, cross-over design in healthy humans. There will be four study visits for the four different treatments: 1) a high-fat meal alone, 2) a high-fat meal with tart cherry consumption, 3) prior exercise to a high-fat meal alone, and 4) prior

Aims: (1) Examine whether tart cherry juice supplementation with cycling exercise augments fat oxidation rate and therefore plays a role in weight management in healthy active human participants. (2) To extrapolate findings from this study to future biomedical health and disease research. Methods:

Thirty-seven older adults were randomly assigned to drink 16 oz per day of either tart cherry juice or placebo drink for 12 weeks. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 12 weeks to assess biomarkers. Physical activity and 3-day diet records were also collected throughout the study.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Cardiovascular disease can be age-related in both onset and progression. The aging process causes failure in protective vascular mechanisms leading to pathophysiological changes and increased risk of

Numerous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents have been identified in tart cherries, and a study among healthy, non-exercising individuals demonstrated that tart cherries decreased post-exercise weakness and muscle pain. The purpose of this study is to assess the analgesic and myoprotective

Numerous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents have been identified in tart cherries, and a study among healthy, non-exercising individuals demonstrated that cherry consumption decreased serum inflammatory biomarkers after 14 days. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common syndrome affecting 65 million

Objectives The primary objective of this pilot study is to investigate whether tart cherry juice consumption can reduce oxidative stress in older adults as measured by attenuation of F2-isoprostane responses to a forearm ischemia-reperfusion, and a decrease in urinary excretion products of oxidative
