Study of Royal Ancient Oats2 Muffins Compared to Conventional Oats on Blood Sugar Control in Adults Ages 35 to 65 with Overweight or Obesity

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of high avenanthramide ancient oat Royal Ancient Oats17 muffins compared to conventional oat muffins on blood sugar control and related metabolic factors. This randomized, two-period crossover trial includes 38 non-diabetic adults aged 35 to 65 years who are overweight or obese. The study aims to detect differences in post-meal blood sugar response between the two muffin types and white wheat flour muffins. Participants will first consume white wheat flour muffins for three days to establish a baseline. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either Royal Ancient Oats17 muffins or conventional oat muffins in different orders during the two study periods. This crossover design allows each participant to experience both muffin types. The study treatments are provided as dietary supplements in muffin form. Throughout the 2-week study, participants will be monitored for their blood sugar response after eating the muffins, as well as for hormone levels related to digestion and feelings of fullness. The research includes repeated measurements and assessments of metabolic parameters. Participants will follow study procedures carefully, limit intake of certain fiber-rich and high-carbohydrate foods, and avoid supplements or medications that could affect blood sugar.
