Study Summary

Skin health is influenced by the microbiome, lipids, oxidative stress, inflammation, and UV exposure. A 14-week trial with 50 women aged 45-65 will test if polyphenol-rich pulses improve skin health by affecting these factors. Using a white rice control diet, the study will measure skin parameters and analyze correlations with changes in lipids and microbiome, potentially proving the benefits of pulses.

Primary Outcome

Irradiation will be applied to dorsal skin (back, scapular region not typically exposed to the sun) with 2 times of minimal erythema dose using an FDA approved UVB phototherapy light and a UV light meter. At baseline and after 70 days, skin color will be measured before and 24 hours after irradiation. Skin color will be evaluated by a colorimeter. The a\*-value (red/green-axis) is a measure of reddening (erythema).
