Inter-individual responses to a blueberry intervention across multiple endpoints by Wang, Yueyue, Haskell-Ramsay, Crystal, Gallegos, Jose Lara, Lodge, John K.

“…To conclude, this is the first blueberry intervention applying quartile divisions to characterise individual responses in vascular and cognitive endpoints following a specific dietary intervention; however, we did not find any consistency in the individual responses to the interventions, and we could not identify a predictive urinary metabolite as a potential biomarker for differentiation between responders and non-responders. …”
