To assess prevalence of UA producers following consumption of fixed volume of Pomegranate juice in a healthy US population
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for Hand grip strength using a calibrated JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gait speed using the 4-meter gait speed test
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for physical activity levels assessed via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Questionnaire consists of questions that provide information on the physical activity in the last 7 days. Activities include total of duration and frequency from walking, moderate activity and severe physical activity. Accordingly,there are 3 activity levels: Inactive,minimal active and very active.The lowest level of physical activity is inactive and the highest level of physical activity is very active.
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for energy levels assessed via the Lee-Visual Analogue Scale to assess Fatigue (VAS-F).
The scale consists of 18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue. Scores fall between 0 (not fatigued at all) and 100 (extremely fatigued).
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gut microbiome. Fecal samples will be used to extract DNA and shotgun sequencing will be performed to assess global microbiome differences at the species level.
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for plasma metabolome. Metabolites in serum will be measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry
Time frame: 2 days
Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for blood biochemistry metabolic profile as assessed via lipid profile in plasma.
Time frame: 2 days
Differences in consumer perception on the study investigation food products overall taste using a consumer perception Likert scale
Scale, of 1 to 5 where 1 is dislike extremely and 5 is like extremely
Time frame: 1 day
