Brief Summary: Purple Sweet Potato juice PSP-juice is a juice based on purple-fleshed sweet potato concentrate containing a high level of anthocyanins Purple-fleshed sweet potatoes have attracted attention to industry and scientists due to multiple physiological functions such as radical-scavenging ACE-inhibitory and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities in vitro and also hepato-protective antihypertensive and antihyperglycemic effects in vivo Previous studies in Japanese subjects showed potential beneficial effects of PSP beverages on liver function and blood pressure in volunteers with impaired hepatic function andor hypertension

The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of PSP-juice on liver enzymes and blood pressure The secondary objective is to examine the effects of PSP-juice juice on insulin resistance
Detailed Description: Study design The study is designed as a randomized parallel placebo-controlled double-blind study

Study population 40 healthy adult female andor male subjects 40-70 yr old with a BMI 25-35 kgm2 mildly elevated serum liver enzymes and high normal blood pressure or mild hypertension

Intervention Daily oral intake of 3x 125 ml of PSP-juice or control juice for a period of 8 weeks

Main study parametersendpoints Liver enzymes GGT ALAT ASAT blood pressure glucose insulin haematology and serum clinical chemical profile
