The goals of this project are to assess differential response in bioavailability and metabolic pathways between lean and obese individuals exposed to acute, short term (10-day), and long-term (10-week) consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits (blueberry and apple) and beverages (tea); determine the differential systemic and gut anti-inflammatory response between obese and lean individuals exposed to polyphenol-rich fruits (blueberry and apple) and beverages (tea); and identify mechanisms related to adaptation in polyphenol absorption, metabolism, and modulation of inflammatory processes in the GI tract.
