Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to determine how wild blueberry consumption affects glucose regulation, gastrointestinal hormones and satiety in healthy adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Healthy men and women (ages 21 - 65 years) were recruited to take part in a randomized, placebo controlled crossover design study. Subjects were screened to determine their health status (e.g. height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure and medical history). Subjects were randomly assigned to a sequence of two treatments with two study periods. The treatments are frozen wild blueberries and a placebo developed to match calories and fiber of the frozen wild blueberries. The subjects were asked to avoid high polyphenol foods in their typical diet for 7 days and consume one of the two treatments as a dietary intervention. After the seventh day subjects consumed a test meal along with either the wild blueberry or placebo. Blood was collected to determine glucose and satiety hormone levels.
