Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a common over-the-counter medication, omeprazole, on the normal gut bacteria and inflammation in the body in healthy older adults.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Healthy Volunteers Drug: Omeprazole Early Phase 1

Detailed Description:
This study aims to enroll 25 healthy subjects from San Antonio, Texas and the surrounding area. Study participants will be asked to provide a blood and stool sample at baseline, complete a 14-day course of omeprazole (Prilosec®), and then complete a follow-up blood and stool sample.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Healthy subjects Drug: Omeprazole
20mg orally once daily




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in fecal microbiota diversity following omeprazole use [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Bacterial taxa will be classified according to operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The change in the diversity of bacteria taxa will be compared between pre- and post-samples using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity measure.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in interleukin inflammatory markers following omeprazole use [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Interleukin 2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and each reported in pg/mL.

  2. Change in tumor necrosis factor-alpha following omeprazole use [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Tumor necrosis factor-alpha will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and reported in pg/mL.

  3. Change in insulin-like growth factor-1 due following omeprazole use [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Insulin-like growth factor-1 will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and reported in ng/mL.
