Effect of the Timing of Chocolate Intake on Body Fat Distribution, Substrate Oxidation, and Microbiota. Randomized, Crossover Study

Universidad de Murcia·interventional·Posted May 14, 2019·Updated Apr 15, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Chocolate 100gr for Menopause. Completed, enrolled 19 participants.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that in humans, eating a relatively big amount of chocolate at the wrong time (bedtime) may disrupt our circadian system (change the circadian phase), while taking this same amount of chocolate in the morning (wake up condition) may synchronize it. Other related factors may be also affected such as total body weight and body fat, dietary habits (total energy intake and macronutrient distribution), the timing of food intake and of sleep, daily rhythms of TAP, microflora composition and postprandial glycemia.
