Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Postprandial inflammation will be tested by measuring nuclear NF-*B abundance in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and by measuring plasma cytokine concentrations. In addition, postprandial insulin sensitivity will be determined by measuring plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin as well as glucose uptake in peripheral tissues using dual isotope labelling.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the effect of BroccoCress on insulin sensitivity after a 2nd glucose load Monitor the bioavailability and kinetics of SFN and related metabolites in blood and urine
