Trial summary

The investigators propose to determine the effect of consuming 0, 1 or 2 servings of white button (Agaricus bisporus; most popular, lower ergothioneine) or yellow oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus; higher ergothioneine) mushrooms on postprandial changes in plasma levels and urinary excretions of mushroom-specific… Read more about this study

About this study

The investigators propose to determine the effect of consuming 0, 1 or 2 servings of white button (Agaricus bisporus; most popular, lower ergothioneine) or yellow oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus; higher ergothioneine) mushrooms on postprandial changes in plasma levels and urinary excretions of mushroom-specific compounds.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that consuming different mushroom varieties will elicit distinct postprandial nutrimetabolomic profiles in the plasma and urine and that the amount of metabolites present will increase with the servings of mushrooms. Measuring ergothioneine in the plasma will provide a quantitative outcome to document the postprandial responses to consuming the test meals. The nutrimetabolomic related outcomes are exploratory and have not been documented in human research.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in plasma glucose

    Plasma will be assessed for glucose values prior to salad consumption and in response to the test day meal

    Measured: 5 hours

  2. Change in plasma insulin

    Plasma will be assessed for insulin values prior to salad consumption and in response to the test day meal

    Measured: 5 hours

  3. Plasma metabolomics

    Plasma will be assessed for metabolomics (i.e. ergothioneine) via reverse phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

    Measured: 5 hours

  4. Plasma ergothioneine

    Plasma will be assessed for ergothioneine concentration, a compound unique to mushrooms

    Measured: 5 hours

  5. Plasma triglycerides

    Plasma will be assessed for triglyceride values at the time of salad consumption and at each hour for 5 hours after salad consumption

    Measured: 5 hours

Model description
For this randomized crossover study, subjects will consume 5 test meals varying in mushroom content, each separated by a minimum of 10 days (Figure 1). For 3 days prior to each testing day participants will be provided with and instructed to exclusively consume a low-antioxidant "run-in" diet (low fruit, vegetable, and spice diet) to minimize background concentrations of potential test food-derived compounds of interest. On test days, participants will consume a standardized mixed-macronutrient meal (500 kcal, 75g CHO, 15g Protein, 15g Fat) containing 1) no mushrooms (control), 2) 84 g of raw white button mushrooms served cooked; 3) 168 g of raw white button mushrooms served cooked; 4) 84 g of raw yellow oyster mushrooms served cooked; or 5) 168 g of raw yellow oyster mushrooms served cooked. Between each run-in diet/testing period, participants will consume their usual, unrestricted self-selected diets for a minimum of 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Yellow Oyster -- 84 g, Yellow Oyster -- 168 g and White button -- 84 g in people with Diet, Healthy, run by Purdue University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in plasma glucose (time frame: 5 hours). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Feb 2024.
