RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the postprandial effects following consumption of buckwheat, fava bean, pea, hemp and lupin compared to meat (beef); focussing on biomarkers of satiety, gut hormones, aminoacids and plant metabolites bioavailability and metabolism. METHODS: Ten subjects (n = 3 men; n = 7 women; 42 ± 11.8 years of age; BMI 26 ± 5.8 kg/m2) participated in six 1-day independent acute interventions, each meal containing 30 g of protein from buckwheat, fava bean, pea, hemp, lupin and meat (beef). Blood samples were collected during 24-h and VAS questionnaires over 5-h. RESULTS: Volunteers consumed significantly higher amounts of most amino acids from the meat meal, and with few exceptions, postprandial composition of plasma amino acids was not significantly different after consuming the plant-based meals. Buckwheat meal was the most satious (300 min hunger scores, p < 0.05).Significant increase in GLP-1 plasma (AUC, iAUC p = 0.01) found after hemp compared with the other plant-based meals. Decreased plasma ghrelin concentrations (iAUC p < 0.05) found on plant (hemp) vs. meat meal. Several plasma metabolites after hemp meal consumption were associated with hormone trends (partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA): 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, indole 3-pyruvic acid, 5-hydoxytryptophan, genistein and biochanin A with GLP-1, PYY and insulin; 3-hydroxymandelic acid and luteolidin with GLP-1 and ghrelin and 4-hydroxymandelic acid, benzoic acid and secoisolariciresinol with insulin and ghrelin. Plasma branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), (iAUC, p < 0.001); and phenylalanine and tyrosine (iAUC, p < 0.05) were lower after buckwheat comparison with meat meal. CONCLUSION: Plants are valuable sources of amino acids which are promoting satiety. The impact of hemp and buckwheat on GLP-1 and, respectively, BCAAs should be explored further as could be relevant for aid and prevention of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Two studies have been performed to clarify the relationship between different markers of oxidative DNA damage commonly employed in molecular epidemiological studies. In the first, 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) was induced in DNA of HeLa cells by treatment with different concentrations of photosensitizer Ro 19-8022 together with visible light. 8-OxoGua was estimated by the comet assay (alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis) with formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase and by HPLC with electrochemical detection. The dose-response curves indicate that the comet assay and HPLC are equally efficient at detecting induced damage. Background levels of 8-oxoGua in HeLa cells were 0.92 +/- 0.22 per 10(6) guanines by the comet assay and 2.09 +/- 0.13 per 10(6) guanines by HPLC. The second study was a small human trial, in which lymphocytes were collected for analysis of background levels of 8-oxoGua, as well as overnight and 24 h urine samples for measurement of excreted 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) by ELISA. The mean level of 8-oxoGua in lymphocytes was determined as 1.33 +/- 0.21 per 10(6) guanines by the comet assay and 3.72 +/- 1.06 per 10(6) guanines by HPLC. A strong correlation was seen between overnight and 24 h urinary 8-oxodGuo (r = 0.93, P < 0.01). Overnight urinary 8-oxodGuo concentrations correlated with 8-oxoGua in lymphocytes measured by HPLC (r = 0.85, P < 0.05) or by the comet assay (r = 0.86, P < 0.05), although individual values from HPLC and the comet assay did not correlate with each other. It is reasonable to assess oxidative stress by any of these methods.
