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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in urine area under the curve (AUC) phenolic metabolites excretion after acute ingestion of the supplement/placeboBaseline (pre-ingestion) to 48 hour post-ingestion

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.

Change in plasma area under the curve (AUC) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placeboBaseline (pre-ingestion) to 24 hour post-ingestion

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.

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

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.

Change in plasma maximal concentration (Cmax) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placeboBaseline (pre-ingestion) and 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 10 hour, 24 hour post-ingestion

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.

Change in plasma time to reach maximal concentration (Tmax) of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placeboBaseline (pre-ingestion) and 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 10 hour, 24 hour post-ingestion

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.

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

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.
