Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether or not dietary pulses, like beans, chickpeas, and lentils, have benefits for human health. Pulses are low in fat and high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and consuming them has been linked with better blood sugar control and a reduced risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. However, it's hard to measure how much pulse someone has eaten, because current methods for dietary assessment are not very accurate. This study is trying to see if there are any biomarkers in human subjects that could be used to measure dietary pulse intake more accurately.

Can adults aged over twenty years old participate in this clinical trial?

"Eligible candidates for this study must be of mature age, lying between 18 and 65 years old."

Answered by AI

Is the enrollment period still taking place for this experiment?

"Clinicaltrials.gov reports that this medical experiment remains actively recruiting patients as of May 17th, 2022; the trial was initially announced on May 1st, 2022."

Answered by AI

How many participants have signed up for the research initiative thus far?

"Yes, the information accessible on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this medical study is still looking for participants, with 24 individuals targeted from 1 site. The first posting of this trial was made on May 1st 2022, and it has since been updated on May 17th 2022."

Answered by AI

Who is eligible to partake in this research endeavor?

"This clinical trial seeks 24 subjects aged 18-65 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18-30 kg/m2 and the capacity to yield urine, stool, and blood samples."

Answered by AI

What is the ambition of this medical exploration?

"This clinical trial seeks to assess the Change in plasma metabolomics profile over a Day 14, 28 and 42 period. Additionally, investigators will also measure quantitative changes of Plasma acetate, propionate and butyrate; DNA of colonic microbiome; as well as Bile acids before and after exposure to control, low pulse or high pulse diets. These data serve both primary and secondary outcomes for the study."
