Creatinine-normalized urinary imidazole propionate, hydroxypipecolic acid, dihydroxybenzoic acid, and enterolactone glucuronide increased with a Prudent diet (p < 0.05).
These metabolites can serve as indicators for dietary adherence to a Prudent diet.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Similarly, creatinine-normalized urinary imidazole propionate, hydroxypipecolic acid, dihydroxybenzoic acid, and enterolactone glucuronide, as well as plasma ketoleucine and ketovaline increased with a Prudent diet (p < 0.05) after adjustments for age, sex and BMI.
Why this rating
The study design includes rigorous metabolite profiling in a randomized trial.
