Crossover Assignment In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. In this 10-week placebo-controlled 2 x 2 crossover dietary intervention, the investigators randomized participants to consume 240 mL (8 ounces) daily of either placebo (artificial cherry-flavored, anthocyanin-free beverage) or authentic TCJ for 4 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period, then consumption of the alternate beverage for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the investigators determined the effect of TCJ in at-risk participants on markers of inflammation, glycemia, and lipidemia.

Placebo beverage was selected from commercially available, artificially flavored and colored fruit punches (Great Value fruit punch, Bentonville, AR) to match a closely as possible the color (red) of the TCJ.

Participants randomized to consume either placebo beverage or tart cherry juice at beginning of the study followed by a 4 week washout then switch over to the alternate beverage to account for timing and order effects.

Hyperuricemia

Insulin Resistance

Obesity

Participants randomized to consume for 4-weeks either placebo beverage or single-strength tart cherry juice at beginning of the study followed by a 4 week washout then switch over to the alternate beverage for 4 weeks to account for timing and order effects.

Tart Cherry Juice and Markers of Inflammation, CVD, and Diabetes

Anthocyanin-rich Tart Cherry Juice Consumption and Reduced Biomarkers of Inflammation, CVD, and Diabetes.

Hyperuricemia contributes to gout, a frequently occurring, complex rheumatologic form of inflammatory arthritis. The primary outcome measure of this study was serum uric acid and its reduction by TCJ consumption.

Elevated levels of hsCRP indicate inflammation. Serum levels of hsCRP as a secondary outcome measure were measured and the effect of TCJ in potentially lowering.

Increased serum triglycerides contribute to CVD and MetS. Serum TG was measured as a secondary outcome measure and the effect of TCJ in lowering levels.

In this study, the investigators recruited at-risk individuals who were overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 30.0 kg/m2) and likely to exhibit one or more conditions associated with MetS. In this 12-week placebo-controlled 2 x 2 crossover dietary intervention, the investigators randomized participants to consume 240 mL (8 ounces) daily of either placebo (artificial cherry-flavored, anthocyanin-free beverage) or TCJ for 4 weeks, followed by a 4-week washout period, then consumption of the alternate beverage for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the investigators determined the effect of TCJ in at-risk participants on markers of uricemia, lipidemia, glycemia, and inflammation.

Placebo beverage was prepared in the ASU metabolic kitchen and matched for fructose and total carbohydrate concentrations as well as being artificially colored to match tart cherry juice.

130ml serving twice daily (immediately before breakfast and dinner) for 20 days.
Placebo composition: Water (100ml), Cherry Squash Concentrate (30ml), Citric Acid (1.5g), Maltodextrin (24.75g), Black Food Colouring (2ml).

130ml serving twice daily (immediately before breakfast and dinner) for 20 days.
MTCJ Composition: 100ml water and 30ml Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (Cherry Active, Sunbury, UK).
