Study Description

Brief Summary

Beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer have been extensively reported, however, the mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Gut microbiota is an important mediator in the homeostasis of the host. Polyphenols act as bacterial substrates and modulators of the gut microbiota. Indeed, the investigators have previously observed that the chronic moderate consumption of red wine by metabolic syndrome patients triggered in an amelioration of the metabolic syndrome variables, and this effect was mediated, at least partially, by the interaction of the gut microbiota with the polyphenols of the red wine. In this manner, beer has a medium content of polyphenols. Thus, the investigators propose that the beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer could be because of the action of the gut microbiota with the beer polyphenols. The investigators are going to perform an intervention study in which normal volunteers will consume three different beer types with different content in polyphenols and it will be analyzed the gut microbiota profile (Metagenomics), metabolites (Metabolomics) and metabolic syndrome markers (gene expression, ELISA) to establish the correspondent relationships, trying to decipher the implication of the gut microbiota in the beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: Normal population

20 participants representing a normal population will include a daily beer in their meals, changing the kind of beer every 2 weeks from alcohol-free lager beer, lager beer, or dark beer.

Dietary Supplement: Beer
A daily beer will be consumed by the participants during a total of 6 weeks, changing every 2 weeks from alcohol-free lager beer, lager beer and dark beer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in gut microbiota [Baseline, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks visits]

    change from baseline in 16S rRNA amplicons determined in DNA from feces after 6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in caloric consumption [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    change from baseline in the number of caloric consumption measured by an structured nutrient intake

  2. Change in waist circumference [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    Change from baseline in waist circumference (cm) after the completion of the trial

  3. Change in glucose concentration [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    Change from baseline in serum glucose level after the completion of the trial

  4. Change in HDL-cholesterol concentration [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    Change from baseline in serum HDL-cholesterol level after the completion of the trial

  5. Change in triglycerides concentration [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    Change from baseline in serum triglycerides level after the completion of the trial

  6. Change in blood pressure [Baseline and 6th weeks visits]

    Change from baseline in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) after the completion of the trial
