Achieving Nutritional Adequacy Of Vitamins E and K With An Egg/Plant-Based Food Pairing - Study 1
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
In the US, 92-96% and 43-63% of men and women do not meet recommended intakes for αT and PQ, respectively. Dietary recommendations strongly encourage a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to meet dietary αT and PQ requirements. However, αT and PQ bioavailability from most plant foods is quite poor, thereby emphasizing a need for effective food pairings that can enhance the absorption and promote adequate status of these health-promoting nutrients. The objective of this application is to use deuterium-labeled spinach (containing stable isotopes of αT and PQ) to validate eggs as a dietary tool to improve αT and PQ bioavailability directly from a model plant food, and hence achieve nutrient adequacy. Our hypothesis is that the bioavailability of αT and PQ from deuterium-labeled spinach will be potentiated by egg intake in a dose-dependent manner by increasing their secretion in intestinal-derived chylomicrons.
To test this, our specific aim is to assess egg-mediated improvements in αT and PQ bioavailability by conducting a randomized cross-over pharmacokinetic study in healthy men and women. In Study Arms 1-4, participants will ingest deuterium-labeled spinach (containing 2 mg αT and 500 μg PQ) with 0, 1, 2, or 3 hardboiled eggs (containing 0, 4.8, 9.6, or 14.4 g total fat, respectively). In Study Arm 5, participants will ingest spinach alone followed by 1 egg 3-hours later. In Study Arm 6, participants will ingest spinach with 1 egg followed by another egg 3-hours later. Thus, Study Arms 1-4 will test the dose-dependent effects of eggs on nutrient bioavailability and Study Arms 5-6 (with comparison to Study Arms 1 and 2) will test the 'timing'-dependent effects of eggs on nutrient bioavailability. Eucaloric diets will be controlled for αT and PQ intakes for 3 d prior to and during the initial 24 h of each trial to minimize heterogeneity of pharmacokinetic responses. Spinach-derived deuterium-labeled αT and PQ will be measured in plasma and isolated chylomicrons collected at timed intervals from 0-72 h post-meal ingestion, and biomarkers of antioxidant status and oxidative distress will be assessed at baseline (0 h) of each trial. Outcomes from this study are expected to demonstrate a dose- and time-dependent function of eggs to increase deuterium-labeled αT and PQ bioavailability (based on AUC0-72 h, Cmax, and % estimated absorption).
The rationale for this study is that, by establishing the efficacy of eggs to potentiate plant-derived fat-soluble nutrient bioavailability, a strong framework will exist for an easily implementable health-promoting food pairing strategy to overcome malnutrition of αT and PQ.
