Abstract
Background: While antiglycative capacity has been attributed to (poly)phenols, the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. Studies so far are often relying on supra-physiological concentrations and use of non-bioavailable compounds.<p></p> Methods: To inform the design of a physiologically relevant in-vitro study, we carried out a systematic literature review of dietary interventions reporting plasma concentrations polyphenol metabolites. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was pre-treated prior to in vitro glycation: either no treatment (native), pre-oxidised (incubated with 10nM H2O2, for 8 hours) or incubated with a mixture of phenolic acids at physiologically relevant concentrations, for 8 hours). In-vitro glycation was carried out in presence of i) glucose only (0, 5 or 10mM), ii) glucose (0, 5 or 10mM) plus H2O2 (10nM), or iii) glucose (0, 5 or 10mM) plus phenolic acids (10-160nM). Fructosamine was measured using the nitroblue tetrazolium method.<p></p> Results: Following (high) dietary polyphenol intake, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid is the most abundant phenolic acid in peripheral blood (up to 338μM) with concentrations for other phenolic acids ranging from 13nM-200μM. Presence of six phenolic acids with BSA during in-vitro glycation did not lower fructosamine formation. However, when BSA was pre-incubated with phenolic acids, significantly lower concentration of fructosamine was detected under glycoxidative conditions (glucose 5 or 10mM plus H2O2 10nM) (p<0.001 vs. native BSA).<p></p> Conclusion: Protein pre-treatment, either with oxidants or phenolic acids, is an important regulator of subsequent glycation in a physiologically relevant system. High quality in-vitro studies under conditions closer to physiology are feasible and should be employed more frequently.<p></p>
