What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Plasma concentrations of selected phenolic acids
Time Frame: up to 30 hrs
up to 30 hrs

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
plasma concentration of selected flavonoid metabolites
Time Frame: up to 30 hrs
up to 30 hrs
Identification of unknown phenolic acids (metabolites of black tea) in plasma
Time Frame: up to 30 hrs
It is still largely unknown which metabolites are formed in-vivo after black tea ingestions and circulating in human plasma. Untargeted profiling using LC-MS of plasma samples will be used to identify yet unknown polyphenols / phenolics and their conjugates in plasma and thus extent the hit-list of known metabolites in circulation after black tea consumption
up to 30 hrs
