What it tests, as registered

Chia seeds

Registered summary

The investigators' over-arching hypothesis is that mechanical and compositional properties of chia seeds supplemented during lactation diminish obesity-induced intestinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. The investigators hypothesize these changes will result in: 1) reduced maternal systemic inflammation (serum CRP and IL-6) and increased gut microbial diversity and richness, 2) reduced HM fat and inflammatory markers, metrics the research team have demonstrated differ in tandem with maternal metabolic health and 3) improved infant growth/body composition. The full summary is on the listing.

Chia Seed (Salvia hispanica L.) Beverage

Registered summary

Overweight and obesity affect nearly 2.5 billion adults worldwide and increase cardiometabolic risk. Postprandial glucose excursions are influenced by diet and inactivity and predict metabolic disorders, while South Asians, particularly Pakistanis, are more vulnerable due to genetic and lifestyle factors and processed diets. This study evaluates the impact of chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) ingestion on postprandial glycemia and appetite in overweight adults, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being). The full summary is on the listing.
