NCT06062511

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate phenolic compounds from ESIT12, a poplar-type propolis ingredient, bioavailability and nutrikinetics by measuring urinary excretion and metabolic profile over 48h by means of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The study follows a cross-over, double-blind, randomized and placebo control design on 10 healthy subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Change in plasma area under the curve (AUC) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Plasma samples will be collected in EDTA tubes in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h) and up to 24h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in plasma will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the area under the curve (0-24 hour) in nmol/L-h is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) to 24 hour post-ingestion

  • Change in plasma maximal concentration (Cmax) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Plasma samples will be collected in EDTA tubes in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h) and up to 24h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in plasma will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the maximal concentration in nmol/L is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) and 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 10 hour, 24 hour post-ingestion

  • Change in plasma time to reach maximal concentration (Tmax) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Plasma samples will be collected in EDTA tubes in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h) and up to 24h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in plasma will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the time to reach maximum concentration in hour is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) and 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 10 hour, 24 hour post-ingestion

  • Change in urine area under the curve (AUC) phenolic metabolites excretion after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Urine samples will be collected in baseline (0h pre-ingestion) and up to 48h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in urine will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the area under the curve (0-24 hour) in nmol/L-h is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) to 48 hour post-ingestion

  • Change in urine maximal concentration (Cmax) phenolic metabolites excretion after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Urine samples will be collected in baseline (0h pre-ingestion) and up to 48h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in urine will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the maximal concentration in nmol/L is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) and 0 hour - 3 hour, 3 hour - 6 hour, 6 hour - 10 hour, 10 hour - 14 hour, 14 hour - 24 hour, 24 hour - 36 hour and 36 hour - 48 hour post-ingestion

  • Change in urine time to reach maximal concentration (Tmax) phenolic metabolites excretion after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo

    Urine samples will be collected in baseline (0h pre-ingestion) and up to 48h according to the time frame. Phenolic compounds metabolites in urine will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS. Targeted metabolites are phenolic acids and flavonoids derivatives. For each identified and quantified metabolite the time to reach maximum concentration in hour is measured.

    Baseline (pre-ingestion) and 0 hour - 3 hour, 3 hour - 6 hour, 6 hour - 10 hour, 10 hour - 14 hour, 14 hour - 24 hour, 24 hour - 36 hour and 36 hour - 48 hour post-ingestion
