Wpływ kwasu propionowego na funkcję regulatorową limfocytów T u zdrowych dorosłych (Pro-Zdrowie) (Pro-Health)
Wpływ kwasu propionowego na regulacyjną funkcję limfocytów T u zdrowych dorosłych.
Pro-Health is a single-center, double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled intervention study in healthy adults. The investigators address the effect of a dietary food supplementation of propionic acid on the immune system and the function of the intestinal barrier in healhty adults.

Szczegółowy opis
Chronic inflammation is a major risk factor of cardiovascular disease progression in CKD, irrespective of confounding comorbidities. Based on current knowledge, microbially-derived metabolites such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA) play an important role in the regulation of chronic inflammatory processes in CKD patients. Patients with CKD are known to have reduced serum levels of the SCFA propionic acid (PA), as a consequence of both gut microbial dysbiosis and reduced fiber intake. In animal and human studies the impact of PA on function and abundance of regulatory T cells (Treg) has been demonstrated. Consequently, the investigators aim to increase the PA serum levels by oral PA food supplementation in healthy adults in order to perspectively intervene with the same strategy in patients with CKD in the near future, with the target to increase abundance and function of antiinflammatory cells.

Komparator placebo: Placebo Intervention
The control-group receives a placebo instead of propionate. The placebo contains maltodextrin and the same amount of sodium chloride as compared to the PA intervention. The placebo is taken twice per day for 28 days. |
The patients will be randomized to PA or placebo intervention (2:1 randomization). After the intervention of 28 days, we conduct an open-label study phase, where all patients are offered a dietary supplement of PA for overall 12 weeks (8 additional weeks for the intervention group and 12 weeks for the placebo group). By doing so we are giving every patient the opportunity to take PA and benefit from the possible positive impact on immunsystem and intestinal barrier function. |

Eksperymentalny: PA Intervention.
The group which receives the PA as a dietary food supplement. A single capsule contains 500mg of sodiumpropionate, which is taken twice daily for 28 days. |
The patients will be randomized to PA or placebo intervention (2:1 randomization). After the intervention of 28 days, we conduct an open-label study phase, where all patients are offered a dietary supplement of PA for overall 12 weeks (8 additional weeks for the intervention group and 12 weeks for the placebo group).
