Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if daily consumption of 2 oz of pecans compared to 3.5 oz pretzel snacks for 12 weeks will 1) contribute to the body's ability to protect itself from oxidative damage (caused by oxygen radicals created by ultraviolet (UV) B light) by evaluating skin resistance to UV light irritation, skin fats/oils degradation and "rusting", and oxidative damage to the skin genes; and 2) explore the mechanisms of how snack consumption may affect aging by analyzing blood markers of aging as well as the microbes living in the gut (gut microbiome).
Primary Outcome
To determine the minimal erythema dose (MED) at the inner arm, skin UVB dose and treatment time will be determined based on overall skin type classification. Based on overall skin type classification we will use the National Biological UVB mJ chart to determine the dose and sequential exposure times for each skin patch. A sleeve with 6 cutout patches will be placed on participant's arm. Using the Dermalight 90 handheld device (National Biological, Beachwood, OH) each cutout test area on the inne
