NCT04339114
Scientific evidence is growing on the health benefits of herbs/spices. The study is interested in understanding how various herb and spice blends influence the function of blood vessels. The study is also interested in how blood sugar, the insulin hormone and immune cells may be related to how well the blood vessels function. Herbs and spices have components called phytochemicals that may be related to how well blood vessels function. The study is planned to investigate these relationships. After qualifying to participate in the research study, participants will be asked to come to the Clinical Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) for four on-site Study Days, each lasting for about 8 hours with a 40 min followup to measure vessels' function the next morning. On each Study Day, different amounts of herbs/spices will be included in a breakfast meal. The herbs and spices are purchased in the grocery store and are Italian herbs, cinnamon, and a mix of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg). All meals will be prepared in the CNRC's kitchen using foods and ingredients purchased at the local grocery store. Blood collection and blood vessel function tests will be performed during the Study Day using typical procedures used in hospitals, doctor offices, and clinics.
