Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Twenty health volunteers, with age between 20 and 65 years old, will be selected and undergo 28 days of washout before the start the treatment. Then they will be divided in two groups: one will ingest from 3 to 4 cups daily (100 mL each one for people over 60 years old and 150 mL for people under 60 years old) of coffee brew with light roasting and another with dark roasting for 4 weeks. After, will be made a cross-over and the volunteers will ingest the coffee brew for over 4 weeks. Coffee will be provided to participants in daily portion. There will not have a washout between the two coffee groups, because studies show that phenolic acids bioavailability is short (After 4 hours of coffee intake, phenolic acid are not present in plasma in detectable amount), therefore 4 weeks are sufficient to eliminate the effect of one rosting on the other).
