- Absolute change from T0 to T+24 hours in the Urolithin A (UA) group as compared to Pomegranate Juice (PJ) group in UA- glucuronide plasma levels. [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Absolute change from T0 to T+24 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA- glucuronide blood spot levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Absolute change from T0 to T+6 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA- glucuronide plasma levels. [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Absolute change from T0 to T+6 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA- glucuronide blood spot levels. [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Change in AUC from T0 to T+6 and/or T+24 in the UA group as compared to the PJ group in UA glucuronide levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Absolute change from T0 to T6 hours and/or to T24 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA aglycone (parent) plasma levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Change in AUC from T0 to T+6 and/or T+24 in the UA group as compared to the PJ group in UA aglycone (parent) plasma levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Absolute change from T0 to T6 hours and/or to T24 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA sulfate plasma levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Change in AUC from T0 to T6 hours and/or to T24 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA sulfate plasma levels [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- To assess prevalence of UA producers following consumption of fixed volume of Pomegranate juice in a healthy US population [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for Hand grip strength using a calibrated JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gait speed using the 4-meter gait speed test [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for physical activity levels assessed via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. [ Time Frame: 2 days ]Questionnaire consists of questions that provide information on the physical activity in the last 7 days. Activities include total of duration and frequency from walking, moderate activity and severe physical activity. Accordingly,there are 3 activity levels: Inactive,minimal active and very active.The lowest level of physical activity is inactive and the highest level of physical activity is very active.
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for energy levels assessed via the Lee-Visual Analogue Scale to assess Fatigue (VAS-F). [ Time Frame: 2 days ]The scale consists of 18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue. Scores fall between 0 (not fatigued at all) and 100 (extremely fatigued).
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gut microbiome. Fecal samples will be used to extract DNA and shotgun sequencing will be performed to assess global microbiome differences at the species level. [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for plasma metabolome. Metabolites in serum will be measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for blood biochemistry metabolic profile as assessed via lipid profile in plasma. [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Differences in consumer perception on the study investigation food products overall taste using a consumer perception Likert scale [ Time Frame: 1 day ]Scale, of 1 to 5 where 1 is dislike extremely and 5 is like extremely
