Polyphenols are a major class of bioactive phytochemicals whose consumption may play role in the prevention number chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes and cancers. Phenol-Explorer, launched 2009, is only freely available web-based database on content polyphenols food their vivo metabolism pharmacokinetics. Here we report third release (Phenol-Explorer 3.0), which adds data effects processing polyphenol contents foods. Data >100 foods, covering 161 or groups...
Brain oxidative processes play a major role in age-related cognitive decline, thus consumption of antioxidant-rich foods might help preserve cognition. Our aim was to assess whether the Mediterranean diet rela
Polyphenols may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases due to their antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, as well beneficial effects on blood pressure, lipids insulin resistance. However, no previous epidemiological studies have evaluated relationship between intake total polyphenols polyphenol subclasses with overall mortality. Our aim was evaluate whether is associated all-cause mortality in subjects at high risk. We used data from PREDIMED study, a...
Abstract Tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is the second most important fruit crop worldwide. Tomatoes are a key component in Mediterranean diet, which strongly associated with reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases. In this work, we use combination mass spectrometry (MS) techniques negative ion detection, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization linear trap quadrupole‐Orbitrap‐mass (LC/ESI‐LTQ‐Orbitrap‐MS) and tandem (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) on triple quadrupole, for identification...
Scope The Phenol‐Explorer web database ( http://www.phenol‐explorer.eu ) was recently updated with new data on polyphenol retention due to food processing. Here, we analyze these investigate the effect of different variables content and make recommendations aimed at refining estimation intake in epidemiological studies. Methods results Data effects processing upon 161 polyphenols compiled for were analyzed structure, food, process loss. These expressed as factors (RFs), fold changes Domestic...
Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.), the second most important vegetable crop worldwide, are a key component in so-called "Mediterranean diet", which is strongly associated with reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases. In this work, we evaluate differences total and individual polyphenol content hydrophilic antioxidant capacity seven varieties tomato cultivated Vegas Bajas del Guadiana, Badajoz (Spain), were collected from two consecutive harvests (2008-2009). Hydrophilic was evaluated...
Previous studies on the association between alcohol intake and development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) have yielded inconsistent results. Besides, few analysed effects red wine (RW) consumption prevalence MetS its components. As moderate RW drinkers a better lipid profile lower incidence rates diabetes, hypertension abdominal obesity, all components MetS, it was hypothesised that could be associated with MetS. In present cross-sectional study 5801 elderly participants at high cardiovascular...
Coumarins and flavonoids are heterocyclic molecules that have been associated with beneficial effects on human health, such as reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular brain diseases. These thought to be related radical scavenging effect, due their antioxidant activities, along other possible mechanisms, anti-inflammatory properties interaction several enzymes. Over past two decades, there an increasing number publications coumarins flavonoids, which demonstrate importance...
The present study aims to compare the phenolic profiles of organic and conventional tomatoes bought in market. For quantification identification individual polyphenols, liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry tandem mode (LC-MS/MS) was carried out. Confirmation compounds previously identified on triple-quadrupole accomplished by injection high-resolution system (QToF-MS). In this way, 34 were tomato fruits. Recoveries targeted polyphenols exceed 78% for tomatoes, respectively. method...
Several epidemiological studies have shown an inverse association between the consumption of polyphenol‐rich foods and risk cardiovascular diseases. However, accuracy reliability these may be increased using urinary total polyphenol excretion (TPE) as a biomarker for intake. Our aim was to assess if antioxidant activity, measured by Folin‐Ciocalteu assay in urine, is correlated with improvement factors (blood pressure serum glucose, cholesterol, HDL‐cholesterol, LDL‐cholesterol, triglyceride...
Nut skins are considered to be a rich source of polyphenols and may partially responsible for the numerous health effects associated with nut consumption. However, more bioavailability studies skin needed understand derived from The aim present study was determine profiles both phase II microbial-derived phenolic metabolites in plasma urine samples before after intake almond by healthy human subjects (n = 2). Glucuronide, O-methyl glucuronide, sulfate, sulfate derivatives (epi)catechin, as...
