Project: Gut and blood microbiomics for studying the effect of a polyphenol-rich dietary pattern on intestinal permeability in the elderly
| Acronym | MaPLE |
| Duration | 01/04/2016 - 31/12/2019 |
| Project Topic | The MaPLE project tested the hypothesis that an increased intake of polyphenol-rich foods can reduce IP and the quantity of inflammogenic bacterial factors in the bloodstream, promoting a protective metabolic phenotype. A dietary protocol was developed to deliver three portions per day of specific polyphenol-rich foods/beverages (berries and derived products, blood oranges and juice, pomegranate juice, Renetta apple and purée, green tea and dark chocolate products) to older participants living in a controlled setting (i.e. nursing home and residencies). |
