About this trial

In this study 24 adult males and adult females, with overall healthy condition, will consume approximately 30 grams of wild rice every day for 28 days. Cardiovascular risk factors will be assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Wild rice alters gut microbiome.

This study is designed to investigate the effects of wild rice consumption on gut microbiome diversity and population in volunteer healthy young adults.

Time frame
4 weeks
2

Changes in gut microbiome alters macronutrient metabolism.

In this study, the investigators will establish whether changes in gut microbiome due to consumption of wild rice may result in altered macronutrient metabolism by studying plasma metabolomics.

Time frame
4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Wild rice consumption improves blood lipid profile.

In this study, plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations will be estimated to assess the impact of wild rice consumption on the overall risk for atherosclerosis.

Time frame
4 weeks
2

Will rice consumption improves endothelial cell function.

Mobil-O-Graph techniques will be used to measure endothelial cell function in the participants prior to consumption of wild rice and after 28 days of consumption of wild rice. This study will establish the effects of wild rice consumption on endothelial cell function.

Time frame
