8-Isoprostane F2α excretion is reduced in women by increased vegetable and fruit intake

Abstract: A significant reduction in the excretion of 8-iso-PGF2alpha was induced by the run-in diet and the high-VF diet. The degree of reduction was related to the subject's baseline urinary concentration of 8-iso-PGF2alpha.

“…The decrease in the combination arm was statistically significant when the seven samples with very high readings on the ELISA were included, but those data were not used in the final model because these samples were above the limits of the calibration curve and therefore could not be quantified accurately. Other studies have shown that dietary or antioxidant interventions tend to be more effective on decreasing oxidative stress in individuals who have higher initial oxidative stress levels (48,49), and here, mean baseline levels were highest in the combination arm.…”

“…WATZL et al [12] demonstrated a significant reduction in plasma CRP following 4 weeks on a high-FV diet in healthy nonsmoking males, and a 2-yr Mediterranean-style dietary intervention in patients with metabolic syndrome significantly lowered serum levels of CRP, IL-6, IL-7 and IL-18 [32]. THOMPSON et al [13] reported a reduction in the excretion of 8-isoprostanes after an 8-week high-FV diet in healthy females. However, two recent intervention studies, a 2-month Mediterranean diet intervention [33] and a 2-month FV intervention [26], showed no effect of increased FV intake on circulating CRP, yet these studies were able to demonstrate significant improvements in measures of vascular function (flow-mediated dilatation and venous occlusion plethysmography, respectively), thus indicating that such biomarkers may be dissociated from true biological effects and, therefore, may be of limited use in dietary studies [31].…”

“…A 12-week period was chosen for this study as this has been shown to be sufficient time to ensure an increase in micronutrient status [11] in response to FV interventions, and also to induce changes in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and urinary isoprostanes [12,13]. Interleukin (IL)-8 has recently been shown to be responsive to 10-week dietary interventions (with bread [14] and cheese [15]).…”

“…Investigators have reported that urinary levels of F 2 -isoprostane were significantly reduced among healthy women consuming 9e10 portions of fruit and vegetables daily for 8 weeks [38]. Since these investigators recruited non-smoking, medication-free volunteers from a womens' health group, extrapolation to the current cohort is difficult.…”
