Cimarrón Bean Extrudate Solution on Platelet Function and Biochemical Parameters

Overview

This non-randomized acute clinical trial evaluates the effect of consuming a water-based solution of Cimarrón bean extrudate on platelet function and postprandial glycemia in adults. Participants will consume a single 10-gram dose of Cimarrón bean extrudate dissolved in water. Blood samples will be collected before and after the intervention to assess platelet reactivity using flow cytometry and to measure glucose levels through colorimetric spectrophotometry. The total intervention period will last approximately 8 hours. This study aims to explore whether the acute consumption of this legume-based functional product can influence hemostatic and glycemic responses in the postprandial state.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the acute effects of consuming a beverage made from Cimarrón bean extrudate on platelet function and postprandial blood glucose levels in adult participants. The study involves a single-arm, non-randomized, open-label design in which each participant will consume a single oral dose of 10 grams of Cimarrón bean extrudate dissolved in water (SAEP: Solution of Cimarrón Bean Extrudate in Water). The trial includes baseline and post-intervention assessments of platelet reactivity using flow cytometry, employing specific agonists (CRP, TRAP, ADP) and labeled antibodies (anti-fibrinogen FITC, PE-CD61/CD62). Blood glucose levels will also be measured at multiple time points using colorimetric spectrophotometry to evaluate postprandial metabolic response. The total study duration per participant is approximately 8 hours, including fasting baseline measurements, administration of the intervention, and postprandial monitoring. This study seeks to provide preliminary data on the potential hemostatic and glycemic effects of a legume-derived functional food ingredient in a controlled, acute setting.
