Bioactive dietary compounds play a critical role in health maintenance. The relation between bioactive compound intake and cardiovascular health-related biomarkers has been demonstrated in several studies, although mainly with participants who have altered biochemical parameters (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, etc.). The aim of this study was to evaluate if adopting a diet low in polyphenol-rich food for two weeks would affect vascular biomarkers in healthy men. In a crossover study, 22 healthy men were randomly assigned to their usual diet (UD), consuming healthy food rich in polyphenols, or to a low antioxidant diet (LAD), with less than two servings of fruit and vegetables per day and avoiding the intake of cocoa products, coffee and tea. As a marker of compliance, total polyphenols in urine were significantly lower after the LAD than after the UD (79 ± 43 vs. 123 ± 58 mg GAE/g creatinine). Nitric oxide levels were also reduced (52 ± 28 in LAD vs. 80 ± 34 µM in UD), although no significant changes in cellular adhesion molecules and eicosanoids were observed; however, an increasing ratio between thromboxane A₂ (TXA₂) and prostaglandin I₂ (PGI₂) was reached ( = 0.048). Thus, a slight dietary modification, reducing the consumption of polyphenol-rich food, may affect vascular biomarkers even in healthy individuals.
生物活性膳食化合物在维持健康方面起着至关重要的作用。多项研究已经证明了生物活性化合物的摄入与心血管健康相关生物标志物之间的关系,尽管这些研究主要针对的是生化参数发生改变的参与者(高血压、高胆固醇、代谢综合征等)。本研究旨在评估在两周内采用低多酚类食物的饮食是否会影响健康男性的血管生物标志物。在一项交叉研究中,22 名健康男性被随机分配到他们的常规饮食(UD),即食用富含多酚的健康食物,或低抗氧化饮食(LAD),每天食用的水果和蔬菜少于两份,并避免摄入可可制品、咖啡和茶。作为依从性的标志物,LAD 后尿液中的总多酚含量明显低于 UD(79 ± 43 与 123 ± 58 mg GAE/g 肌酐)。一氧化氮水平也降低(LAD 中为 52 ± 28,UD 中为 80 ± 34 µM),尽管细胞黏附分子和类二十烷酸没有观察到显著变化;然而,血栓素 A₂(TXA₂)和前列腺素 I₂(PGI₂)的比值增加(= 0.048)。因此,即使是在健康个体中,轻微的饮食改变,减少多酚类食物的摄入,也可能会影响血管生物标志物。
