Postprandial Urolithin Patterns Following Pecan Consumption

Study on how pecans affect digestion after meals.

Recruiting
18-30 years
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at how eating pecans affects certain chemicals in the blood. Pecans might help heart health, but we need a better way to measure how much people eat. We want to see how urolithins (a chemical our body makes when we eat foods like pecans) appear in the blood after eating pecans compared to another chemical, tocopherols. Participants will eat pecan-rich meals and have blood drawn over several hours. This study is for healthy people aged 18-30 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9. Participants will visit the lab three times, with a two-week break in between visits. The study takes place at the University of Georgia.

  • Study involves three visits, with blood draws and meal consumption.
  • Participants must be healthy, aged 18-30, and have a BMI of 18.5-24.9.
  • Participants should not use nicotine or certain medications.
