U.S., Aug. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07772362) titled 'Understanding (Poly)Phenol Metabolism in People With an Ileostomy' on Aug. 13.
Brief Summary: Plant foods contain natural compounds called (poly)phenols, which may help lower the risk of heart and metabolic diseases. However, people differ greatly in how they absorb and process these compounds, partly because most (poly)phenols are broken down by gut bacteria in the colon.
