Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a blueberry powder on insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and vascular reactivity in subjects with metabolic syndrome.

Conditions

  • Metabolic Syndrome

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Blueberry Powder

The groups will be randomized to receive 45g of blueberry powder or control (i.e., placebo) per day. Blueberry powder will be given as a smoothie to be consumed at the breakfast and dinner meals and an identical smoothie will be given as a control. The second smoothie will be consumed at least 6 hours from the first smoothie. The smoothies will be prepared in the metabolic kitchen and a week supply of frozen smoothies will be given to participants. Both the blueberry powder and control smoothie contain comparable energy and macronutrients
