Abstract
Background: Avenanthramides (AVAs) and Avenacosides (AVEs) are unique to oats (Avena Sativa) and may serve as biomarkers of oat intake. However, information regarding their validity as food intake biomarkers is missing. We aimed to investigate critical validation parameters such as half-lives, dose-response, matrix effects, relative bioavailability under single dose, and in relation to the abundance of Feacalibacterium prausnitzii, and under repeated dosing, to understand the potential applications of AVAs and AVEs as biomarkers of oat intake.
Methods: Twenty-one healthy participants consumed two oat products (solid and liquid) in a non-blinded randomized crossover study for the pharmacokinetics (PK) assessment of multiple AVAs (2p, 2c,2f, 2fd and 2pd) and AVEs (A and B). At phase I, postprandial data were collected after a single dose of either product. At phase II, fasting sample was drawn after a 4-days repeated dose setup. The postprandial data were used in a compartmental PK model and the PK parameters were consequently utilized to predict individual plasma concentrations, which were compared with the data of the second phase of the study.
Results: Tmax values were shorter in liquid compared to solid form for AVAs (0.7-1.6 h and 1.1-2.3 h, respectively). In liquid, T1/2 were 1.3 h (AVA 2p and AVA 2fd), 3.2 h (AVA 2f, AVE A) and 2.5 h (AVA 2pd, AVE B). In solid form, T1/2 were shorter for AVAs (1.4-2.6 h) compared to AVEs (3.3-3.8 h). The normalized area under the curve (AUCnorm) was greater for liquid than solid form for AVA2p, 2f and AVE-A [0.7-27 nM∙h (liquid), 0.4-20.1 (solid)] while for AVE-B AUCnorm were comparable [1.8 ± 0.2 nM∙h (liquid),2.1 ± 0.3 nM∙h (solid)]. A pharmakcokinetic prediction model described 75% of the experimental plasma-concentration data from phase II, with good agreement (bias: -0.145 nM).
Conclusions: AVAs are promising candidates as compliance biomarkers of oat intake in intervention studies regardless of the tested food matrices. However, due to their short elimination half-lives, their applicability in nutritional epidemiology where long-term habitual intake is of main interest, seems restricted.
Clinical trial number: This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov with the clinical trial number: NCT05511077, on August 22nd, 2022.
期刊介绍：
Nutrition Journal publishes surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.
Manuscripts that consider eating patterns holistically, as opposed to solely reductionist approaches that focus on specific dietary components in isolation, are encouraged. Also encouraged are papers that take a holistic or systems perspective in attempting to understand possible compensatory and differential effects of nutrition interventions. The journal does not consider animal studies.
In addition to the influence of eating patterns for human health, we also invite research providing insights into the environmental sustainability of dietary practices. Again, a holistic perspective is encouraged, for example, through the consideration of how eating patterns might maximize both human and planetary health.
