Disposition of Dietary Polyphenols and Methylxanthines in Mammary Tissues From Breast Cancer Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Polyphenol
Registration Number
NCT03482401
Lead Sponsor
National Research Council, Spain
Brief Summary

The aim is to characterise the metabolic profiling of dietary polyphenols in normal and malignant breast tissues from breast cancer patients.

Detailed Description

The objective of this exploratory trial is to determine the disposition and characterise the metabolic profiling of dietary polyphenols in normal and malignant glandular breast tissues from newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.

The patients consumed a polyphenol-rich dietary supplement containing 37 different phenolics and 2 methylxanthines (theobromine and caffeine) from the diagnosis to the surgery. The metabolic profiling was characterized in normal and malignant breast tissues as well as plasma and urine using UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS.

GroupInterventionDescription
Polyphenol groupPolyphenolPatients consumed a polyphenol-rich dietary supplement (commercial lemon, orange, pomegranate, olive, grape, cocoa, curcuma and broccoli extracts), mainly rich in simple phenolics such as hydroxytyrosol and the polyphenols procyanidins, hesperidin, eriocitrin, curcumin, resveratrol, punicalagin and ellagic acid. Cocoa extract also contains the methylxanthines theobromine and caffeine.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quantification of dietary polyphenols and methylxanthines in breast tissues1-24 months

Quantification of dietary polyphenols and methylxanthines in normal and malignant mammary tissues from breast cancer patients using ultra-high resolution liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS).

* Quantification (pmol/g) of each phenolic-derived metabolite in breast tissues.

* Quantification (pmol/g) of each methylxanthine-derived metabolite in breast tissues.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Quantification of dietary polyphenols and methylxanthines in urine and plasma from breast cancer patients using ultra-high resolution liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS).

* Quantification of each phenolic-derived metabolite in urine and plasma (nmol/L).

* Quantification of each methylxanthine-derived metabolite in urine and plasma (nmol/L).
