Effects of a Black Rice Extract and Anthocyanidin Metabolites on the Synthesis and Release of BDNF in Healthy Subjects

Sponsor: University of California, Davis

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of black rice extract (BRE) supplementation on levels of BDNF, which is a key molecule in cognition in healthy volunteers. The main questions to answer are: Does single BRE consumption increase levels of BDNF in the circulation in healthy men and women? Does single BRE consumption impact BDNF gene expression in cells isolated from the blood? Researchers will compare BRE to a placebo (a look-alike supplement that contains no BRE) to see if BRE increases levels of BDNF in blood.

Official title: Investigating the Effects of Dietary Supplementation With a Black Rice Anthocyanidin Rich Extract (BRE) and Anthocyanidin Metabolites on the Synthesis and Release of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) in Healthy Subjects
