In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Orange Juice for Insulin Resistance and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is primarily to investigate the ability of antioxidants found in orange juice (OJ) to improve the serum lipid profile. Overweight or mildly obese men, who are otherwise healthy, but with elevated serum total cholesterol concentration will be recruited. The time commitment for subjects is \~14wks. Subjects will attend the laboratory on 5 occasions after fasting from midnight. The 1st is a medical screening. Laboratory visits 2 \& 5 will take \~90min and will be separated by 3 months, during which time subjects will consume 250ml of an orange drink (either OJ or an orange flavoured control drink) once a day. During visits 2 \& 5, subjects will have a scan to assess their %body fat using a low-dose x-ray machine, a 20ml blood sample taken and a small sample of fat tissue (about the size of a haricot bean)taken from underneath the skin of the belly. Subjects will record their food intake for 3-days in weeks 3, 7 and 11 of consuming the drink, and come to the lab for visits 3\&4 during weeks 4\&8. Laboratory visits 3\&4 repeat measurements taken in the 1st (screening) visit.
