U.S., April 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06944002) titled 'Milk Consumption and Blood Microbiome in Healthy Volunteers' on April 11.
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to learn if cfDNA of milk-associated intestinal bacteria (MAIB) is detectable in the bloodstream. The primary question it aims to answer is:
- Does milk consumption simultaneously increase the number of MAIB cfDNA counts in blood samples, as it does in fecal samples?
Researchers will compare cfDNA counts of MAIB to those of fecal samples to assess whether the blood microbiome is a valid measure of the gut microbiome, utilizing a self-developed bioinformatics pipeline.
Participants will:
* Abstain from consuming any...
