- Conditions
- Cholesterol
- Being tested
- Apigenin, luteonin, grapefruit extract and citrolive, maltodextrina
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Apigenin, luteonin, grapefruit extract and citroliveDietary supplement
Two capsules daily at breakfast and dinner.
maltodextrinaDietary supplement
Two capsules daily at breakfast and dinner.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Apigenin, luteonin, grapefruit extract and citrolive | Experimental | One capsules a day. It will be consumed at breakfast for eight weeks. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Apigenin, luteonin, grapefruit extract and citrolive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
endothelial function
Changes in the dilatation of the Humeral artery.
Measured: The measurements of endothelial function are taken with an ultrasound on two different occasions. The measurements will be made at baseline and after eight weeks of product consumption.
blood samples
Change in total cholesterol levels.
Measured: Total cholesterol measurements are taken with the ILAB 600 analyzer on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product.
Tests
Change in physical activity with the World Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)
Measured: Quality of life measurements are taken on two different occasions. Measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of product consumption.
nutritional record
Volunteers record dietary intake for three days in a notebook. They will describe the amount of food they consume in grams in order to assess changes in intake during the clinical trial.
Measured: The dietary intake will be controlled by a diary in which meals will be recorded for three days and on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product.
body composition
Changes in body composition were measured with a TANITA
Measured: Body measurements are taken with a Tanita on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product.
cardiovascular risk
Changes in systolic blood pressure (mmHg), dystolic blood pressure (mmHg) and heart rate (beats per minute).
Measured: Cardiovascular risk measurements are taken by laboratory analysis on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product.
Tests
Change in the quality of life (SF-12).
Measured: Quality of life measurements are taken on two different occasions. Measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of product consumption.
