First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking a monosaccharide powder (a type of sugar) can change how immune system proteins are modified in healthy adults. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 44 participants to look for changes in antibody structure. The study is placebo-controlled, meaning some participants will receive a dummy sugar powder instead.
