Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Tart cherry concentrate 60 mL

Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 60 mL tart cherry concentrate. After a 2 week wash-out subjects will cross over into the 120 mL dose group.

Dietary Supplement: Tart cherry extract 60 mL
Subjects will receive a single 60 mL oral dose of tart cherry extract.

Dietary Supplement: Tart cherry extract 120 mL
Subjects will receive a single 120 mL oral dose of tart cherry extract.

Active Comparator: Tart cherry concentrate 120 mL

Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 120 mL tart cherry concentrate. After a 2 week wash-out subjects will cross over into the 60 mL dose group.

Dietary Supplement: Tart cherry extract 60 mL
Subjects will receive a single 60 mL oral dose of tart cherry extract.

Dietary Supplement: Tart cherry extract 120 mL
Subjects will receive a single 120 mL oral dose of tart cherry extract.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [Maximal change in hs-CRP from baseline through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    Reduction in hs-CRP

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Area under the curve (AUC) [Through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    The area under the plasma anthocyanin concentration-time curve

  2. Change in inflammatory marker expression [Through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    Fold change in mRNA expression of Nrf2

  3. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) [Through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    Peak plasma concentration of anthocyanins

  4. Time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) [Through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    Time to achieve peak plasma anthocyanin concentration

  5. Half-life (t1/2) [Through study completion (during the 12 hours after a dose)]

    Plasma anthocyanin half-life
