简要总结
The investigators hypothesized that acute consumption of Fuji apple juice (AJ) could increase the antioxidant status and/or decrease the oxidative stress (OS) biomarkers, without increasing serum biochemical parameters in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). In this pre-post pilot feasibility study, patients served as their own controls, received 300 and 150 mL AJ immediately after a dialysis section, on different days, with a 3 week-washout period. Blood was collected at the baseline period, after 30 and 60 min of AJ consumption. OS biomarkers (total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), ascorbic acid, catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) and potassium, phosphorus, uric acid, and glucose concentrations were analyzed.
详细描述
Subjects and study design
In this pre-post pilot feasibility study, subjects served as their own controls. Participants were recruited from a hemodialysis clinic, located in Florianópolis' metropolitan area, Santa Catarina state (Southern Brazil), from June to August 2015 with the following inclusion criteria: hemodialysis treatment ≥ 3 months, age ≥ 20 years, and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 23 kg/m2. Exclusion criteria were allergy to apple, presence of cancer or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, kidney transplant less than 6 months before enrolling in the study, taking antioxidant or nutritional supplements during the 30 days before enrollment, having been hospitalized within 6 weeks before the beginning of the study, or suffering from an acute illness.
Subjects were instructed to keep their usual dietary habits for the duration of the study, except for avoiding intake of polyphenol-rich foods (i.e., vegetables, fruits and fruit-containing products, chocolate, tea, coffee, honey, and any alcoholic beverage) within 2 days before and during intervention. On two different days, each volunteer consumed 300 mL Fuji AJ, immediately after a dialysis section. After a washout period of 3 weeks, the volunteers drank 150 mL Fuji AJ in a similar manner as described above. Before and after 30 and 60 min of AJ consumption, blood samples were withdrawn for biochemical analysis. This protocol was chosen taking into account the previous favorable effects of AJ consumption on serum OS biomarkers described for healthy volunteers.
Baseline clinical and biochemical data were obtained from medical records. This study was approved by the ethics committee of human research of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) (protocol number 37090614.6.0000.0118) and all participants gave written and informed consent.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluating weight
时间窗: At baseline
Weight (kilograms) data were obtained from the patient's files.
Evaluating body mass index
时间窗: At baseline
Body mass index (BMI) (Kg/m2) data were obtained from the patient's files.
Evaluating medication
时间窗: At baseline
Medication data were obtained from the patient's files.
Measuring endogenous antioxidant enzymes
时间窗: Change from baseline at 30 and 60 minutes
Catalase (U mg/Hb), glutathione peroxidase (U mg/Hb) and superoxide dismutase (U mg/Hb) was measured at the baseline period, after 30 and 60 min of acute consumption of 300 and 150 mL of Fuji apple (Malus domestica Borkh) juice. Patients were not fasted for the withdrawal of blood. This measure was taken to prevent discomfort among volunteers. Venous blood samples were collected through aseptic venipuncture on the opposite arm of the arteriovenous fistula by a qualified professional using a vacuum system into heparin or EDTA-containing tubes or tubes without additives according to established standards of clinical and biological safety.
Evaluating heigth
时间窗: at baseline
Height (meters) data were obtained from the patient's files.
Evaluating adequacy of the dialysis treatment
时间窗: At baseline
Adequacy of the dialysis treatment was captured by extracting the routine Kt/V from the medical record.
Measuring oxidative stress biomarkers
时间窗: Change from baseline at 30 and 60 minutes
Total antioxidant status (TAS) (mmol/L) and total oxidant status (TOS) (mmol/L) was measured at the baseline period, after 30 and 60 min of acute consumption of 300 and 150 mL of Fuji apple (Malus domestica Borkh) juice. Patients were not fasted for the withdrawal of blood. This measure was taken to prevent discomfort among volunteers. Venous blood samples were collected through aseptic venipuncture on the opposite arm of the arteriovenous fistula by a qualified professional using a vacuum system into heparin or EDTA-containing tubes or tubes without additives according to established standards of clinical and biological safety.
Measuring serum biochemical parameters
时间窗: Change from baseline at 30 and 60 minutes
Potassium (mmol/L), phosphorus (mmol/L) and glucose (mmol/L) was measured at the baseline period, after 30 and 60 min of acute consumption of 300 and 150 mL of Fuji apple (Malus domestica Borkh) juice. Patients were not fasted for the withdrawal of blood. This measure was taken to prevent discomfort among volunteers. Venous blood samples were collected through aseptic venipuncture on the opposite arm of the arteriovenous fistula by a qualified professional using a vacuum system into heparin or EDTA-containing tubes or tubes without additives according to established standards of clinical and biological safety.
