Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What objectives is this clinical trial attempting to realize?

"This two-week study will compare the cerebrovascular reactivity of participants in response to low and high added sugar meals, with a one week washout period between. Primary outcomes include changes from baseline in hippocampal cerebrovascular reactivity, resting cerebral blood flow, and blood pressure measures."

Answered by AI

Are my characteristics conducive to being a participant in this research?

"This experiment necessitates 20 recruits between the ages of 30 and 64 that have a healthy lifestyle, in addition to meeting other criteria. These include being allergy-free to ingredients such as nuts or gluten found in the study meal, providing informed consent, men consuming less than 150 kcal/day from added sugars and women no more than 100kcal/day."
