Gut Flora Dependent Metabolism of Dietary Phosphatidylcholine and Cardiovascular Disease (Glory)

Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to see if intestinal bacteria plays a role in choline metabolism (a form of choline monitored in this study is called phosphatidylcholine, also known as lecithin). This study will help to determine if choline metabolism is affected by short-term antibiotic therapy, and/or can be altered by probiotic therapy (e.g. in the form of eating yogurt).
Metabolism is a process that turns foods we eat into fuel for our bodies. Choline is nutrient found in a type of fat commonly found in foods. There is evidence that choline metabolism by bacteria in the intestines may be linked to cardiac risk.
The purpose of this study is to see if intestinal bacteria plays a role in choline metabolism (a form of choline monitored in this study is called phosphatidylcholine, also known as lecithin). This study will help to determine if choline metabolism is affected by short-term antibiotic therapy, and/or can be altered by probiotic therapy (e.g. in the form of eating yogurt).
This single center study will randomize 30 normal, healthy volunteers to 1 of 3 groups:
Group 1: antibiotics for 1 week, followed by probiotics for 3 weeks; Group 2: antibiotics for 1 week, followed by no probiotics for 3 weeks. Group 3: no antibiotics for 1 week, followed by probiotics for 3 weeks.
The antibiotics to be used will be metronidazole (500 mg twice daily) and ciprofloxacin (500 mg daily) for one week. The probiotics to be used will be one serving size of standard flavored yogurt (approximately 170 g) twice daily for up to three weeks.
Study visits will occur at baseline, 1 week, and 4 weeks. Blood and urine samples will be collected at the start of each visit. Subjects will then eat 2 hard boiled eggs and be given a standard medical isotope. Additional blood samples will be obtained at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours, and a urine sample will be collected at 6 hours. Samples will be analyzed for choline levels, its byproducts, and isotope levels.
