Book Dietary Polyphenols

Download or read book Dietary Polyphenols written by Francisco A . Tomás-Barberán and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents recent research on metabolism and the health effects of polyphenols Consumer interest in the health benefits of many phenolic compounds found in plant foods and derivatives has grown considerably in recent years, giving rise to an increased demand for functional foods. Although preclinical and observational studies have promoted the protective properties of polyphenols for a range of chronic diseases, evidence has shown that most dietary polyphenols have little bioavailability. Once ingested, most of them are metabolized by either the intestinal enzymes or by the gut microbiota and then undergo extensive phase-II metabolism reaching significant concentrations of conjugated metabolites. They remain in the systemic circulation and target systemic tissues where trigger biological effects. The polyphenol-derived metabolites produced in humans are dependent upon the composition of the gut microbiota and the subject genetics. Thus all the metabolites do not show the same biological activity in different individuals. To fully understand the health effects of polyphenols, further clinical investigations are required. Dietary Polyphenols describes the latest findings on the polyphenol metabolism and reviews the current evidence on their health effects and that of their bioavailable metabolites. Emphasizing the importance of interindividual variability and the critical role of gut microbiota, this authoritative volume features contributions from recognized experts in the field, exploring specific families of extractable and non-extractable phenolic compounds that exhibit potential health effects. Topics include structural diversity of polyphenols and distribution in foods, bioavailability and bioaccessibility of phenolics, metabolism, and gastrointestinal absorption of various metabolites and their health effects. This comprehensive volume: Discusses the bioavailability, bioaccessibility, pharmacokinetics studies, and microbial metabolism of different groups of phenolic compounds Examines the interaction between polyphenols and gut microbiota Describes analytical methods for identifying and quantifying polyphenols in foods and biological samples Reviews recent epidemiological and clinical intervention studies showing protective effects of polyphenols Dietary Polyphenols: Metabolism and Health Effects is an important resource for scientists working in the area of dietary polyphenols and health effects, microbiota, and their interaction with other nutritional compounds, and for health professionals, nutritionists, dieticians, and clinical researchers with interest in the role of polyphenols in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

Book Dietary Polyphenols and Human Health

Download or read book Dietary Polyphenols and Human Health written by Anna Tresserra-Rimbau and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyphenols are a heterogeneous group of bioactive compounds mainly found in plant-based foods. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have led to the result that polyphenol intake may protect against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, or type 2 diabetes, to name some. Polyphenol intake estimation can be obtained through food frequency questionnaires and nutritional biomarkers, both having their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the association between these bioactive compounds and health seems irrefutable, many questions remain still unanswered. For instance, more studies are needed to identify possible interactions and effect-modulating variables, such as smoking habit, body mass index, sex, alcohol, hormones, other foods, etc. Moreover, intestinal microbiota seems to play an important role in the metabolism of polyphenols, but it is still unclear how.

Book Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

Download or read book Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome written by Debasis Bagchi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 20 million people in the US, or nearly 7% of the population. It is expected to increase by 70% within the next 25 years, and numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to cost over $92 billion in health care costs and lost productivity. The increased risk is due to the detrimental vascular effects of prolonged exposure to a hyperglycemic, oxidant-rich environment yielding associated cardiovascular risk factors: atherosclerosis, hypertension and clotting abnormalities. Hypertension and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients produces substantial decreases in cardiovascular and microvascular diseases. Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome provides an overview of the current epidemic, outlines the consequences of this crisis and lays out strategies to forestall and prevent diabetes, obesity and other intricate issues of metabolic syndrome. The contributing experts from around the world give this book relevant and up-to-date global approaches to the critical consequences of metabolic syndrome and make it an important reference for those working with the treatment, evaluation or public health planning for the effects of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Scientific discussion of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the relationship between diabetes and metabolic syndrome Includes coverage of Pre-diabetes conditions plus both Type I and Type II Diabetes Presents both prevention and treatment options

Book ANTI INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS OF DIETARY POLYPHENOLS AND THE ROLE OF GUT BACTERIA

Download or read book ANTI INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS OF DIETARY POLYPHENOLS AND THE ROLE OF GUT BACTERIA written by Kylie March and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic inflammatory diseases of the colon. Dietary polyphenols, secondary metabolites of plants, have shown anti-inflammatory effects in the colon. Dietary polyphenols are associated with the increase in beneficial bacteria that are associated with a reduced inflammatory state while decreasing harmful bacteria that are associated with inflammation in the colon. In addition, diets rich in dietary polyphenols have been associated with decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, there is a lack of evidence if the microbiome is essential for the noted anti-inflammatory effects of dietary polyphenols. This study investigates if the microbiome is essential for the anti-inflammatory effects of dietary polyphenols. Colitis was induced using DSS in antibiotic-treated mice and non-antibiotic treated mice and were given diets supplemented with purple (dietary polyphenols rich), red, or white (dietary polyphenols poor) potatoes as a source of dietary polyphenols. The expression of inflammatory cytokines was measured from colon tissue and the composition of the gut microbiome was measured from fecal samples. Supplementation with potato as a source of polyphenols increased the expression of inflammatory markers in microbiota-ablated mice and reduced the relative expression of inflammatory markers in their non-ablated counterparts. There was a significant increase in the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium bifidum in mice consuming purple and red-fleshed potatoes and decrease in pks+ Escherichia coli in mice consuming potato diets after eight weeks of supplementation. There was no noted change in the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae. This gives evidence that the anti-inflammatory effect of polyphenols was dependent on gut bacteria. The significance of this study is it provides further evidence that a diet rich in phenols can be an effective prevention strategy for chronic inflammatory colon diseases like CD and UC.
