Brief Summary

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

The objective of this clinical trial is to determine the activity of dealcoholized muscadine wine to alleviate oxidative stress, inflammation, skin photoaging, and alter gut microbiome in women 40-67 years of age. The investigators hypothesize that dealcoholized muscadine wine daily for 42 days will significantly alleviate oxidative stress, inflammation, skin photoaging, and alter the gut microbiome in women compared to drinking sugar water.

Detailed Description

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

Aging of the skin is characterized by wrinkling, sagging, and laxity. About 80% of facial skin aging is classified as extrinsic, or photoaging because it results from exposure to UV light of the sun that causes oxidative stress The remaining 20% of facial aging is the intrinsic type which is partially caused by the accumulation of proteins that are modified by reactive carbonyls in a reaction known as protein glycation. Aging also shifts the composition of the gut microbiome in at least 35 genera towards an unhealthy state of dysbiosis.

Previous studies showed that muscadine polyphenols inhibited protein glycation under a simulated physiological condition. Additional experiments using cell culture and mice showed that dealcoholized muscadine wine alleviated inflammation and protected against dysbiosis in the gut. The objective of this research is to confirm the health benefits of muscadine wine polyphenols in a clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that dealcoholized muscadine wine consumption in women 40-65 years old will alleviate skin photoaging and skin conditions by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. It is also expected to improve the composition of the gut microbiome.
