    Abstract Critical illness is characterized by glutamine depletion owing to increased metabolic demand. Glutamine is essential to maintain intestinal integrity and function, sustain immunologic response, and maintain antioxidative balance. Insufficient endogenous availability of glutamine may impair outcome in critically ill patients. Consequently, glutamine has been considered to be a conditionally essential amino acid and a necessary component to complete any parenteral nutrition regimen. Recently, this scientifically sound recommendation has been questioned, primarily based on controversial findings from a large multicentre study published in 2013 that evoked considerable uncertainty among clinicians. The present review was conceived to clarify the most important questions surrounding glutamine supplementation in critical care. This was achieved by addressing the role of glutamine in the pathophysiology of critical illness, summarizing recent clinical studies in patients receiving parenteral nutrition with intravenous glutamine, and describing practical concepts for providing parenteral glutamine in critical care.

    Abstract Nutritional care and nutritional status may differ in older persons receiving informal (IC) or professional (PC) home care and further depend on the living situation, but little is known in this regard. In this analysis of a cross-sectional multicenter study, type of care, living situation, and nutritional care were enquired in 353 older adults (≥65) receiving IC or PC, living either with partner (LP), with others (LO) or alone (LA), and the nutritional status was determined by BMI and MNA ® . For IC receivers, food shopping (IC-LP 94%, IC-LO 96%, IC-LA 92%) and warm meals (IC-LP 89%, IC-LO 90%, IC-LA 71%) were mainly provided by relatives, whereas 47% of PC-LA prepared warm meals by themselves and 22% received meals on wheels. Thirteen percent were underweight, 13% malnourished, and 57% at risk of malnutrition without differences between the groups. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) of being malnourished were also not different (IC-LP 2.2 [95% CI 0.5–9.7], IC-LO 1.4 [0.3–6.6], IC-LA 1.4 [0.3–6.6]) compared to PC-LA. In conclusion, provision of nutritional care obviously differed according to the type of care and living situation, whereas nutritional status does not seem to be affected by these aspects. More research is clearly needed in this field.

    Abstract Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and quercetin are characteristic compounds in plant-based diets. Cardioprotective effects have been described for both substances, although a possible benefit of combining ALA and quercetin has not, to our knowledge, been evaluated yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential independent and additive effects of ALA and quercetin on blood pressure (BP) and lipid and glucose metabolism, as well as on biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and antioxidant status in healthy, non-obese men and women. Another aim was to examine whether chronic supplementation of supranutritional doses of quercetin would result in an accumulation of plasma quercetin concentration over time.In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive 3.6 g/d ALA plus 190 mg/d quercetin or placebo for 8 wk. Data from 67 individuals (34 men, 33 women, mean age: 24.6 y) were assessed.Plasma quercetin, tamarixetin, isorhamnetin, and kaempferol increased significantly from baseline to study end with ALA + quercetin but not with ALA + placebo. No significant effect on office systolic BP, mean 24 h ambulatory BP (ABP), or mean daytime ABP was seen in either study group. Both interventions significantly decreased total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B to a similar extent. No effect on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1, glucose, uric acid, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, C-reactive protein, or lipid-adjusted retinol, α-tocopherol, or β-carotene was seen in either group.Although dietary supplements of 3.6 g/d ALA over an 8-wk period improved lipid profiles in healthy adults, antioxidative and oxidative status, inflammation, and BP remained unchanged. No evidence was seen for an additive or synergistic effect of ALA plus quercetin on markers of cardiovascular disease risk.

    Abstract SCOPE: After intrinsic labeling of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L., Chenopodiaceae) with 13CO2, we investigated if labeled polyphenol metabolites were detectable in human plasma. METHODS AND RESULT: In a pilot intervention trial, five healthy men consumed 5 g freeze‐dried 13C labeled spinach, including a total amount of 160 μmol methoxyflavonols, including 70 μmol 5,3′,4′‐trihydroxy‐3‐methoxy‐6,7‐methylendioxyflavone‐4′‐glucuronide. Plasma samples of all subjects were analyzed with regard to their 13C/12C ratio. Additionally, 13C labeled metabolites of patuletin, spinacetin, and 5,3′,4′‐trihydroxy‐3‐methoxy‐6,7‐methylendioxyflavone (TMM) were analyzed in plasma samples in a subgroup of three subjects. TMM‐glucuronide, TMM‐sulfate, and spinacetin‐glucuronide‐sulfate, the latter as 12C113C16 and 13C17 isotopologs, were tentatively identified. Plasma concentration of TMM‐glucuronide and TMM‐sulfate reached cmax from 19.1–54.3 and 22.5–125.5 nmol L–1, respectively, 7–9 h post‐ingestion. CONCLUSION: It seems likely that 13C labeled TMM‐glucuronide and TMM‐sulfate are phase‐II metabolites which were converted after colonic transformation. Variations in plasma kinetics were observed for these two metabolites and may be attributed to the individual composition of the microbiota. We conclude that 13C labeled polyphenol metabolites are detectable and quantifiable in human plasma.

    Abstract Evaluation of potential associations between plasma glutamine levels and the incidence of cancer related fatigue, physical performance, poor nutritional status, and inflammation in patients with solid tumors.Mono-center cross-sectional study recruiting 100 (34 women) consecutive patients (September 2009–March 2011; ≥18 y) with solid tumors and causal tumor therapy.Fasting venous blood was harvested for routine clinical chemistry, amino acid (HPLC) and inflammation marker analyses. Clinical assessments included global, physical, affective and cognitive fatigue (questionnaire) and Karnofsky performance status. Nutritional status was evaluated using bioelectrical impedance analysis, the Prognostic Inflammatory and Nutritional Index and plasma protein levels. Regression analyses were performed to correlate continuous variables with plasma glutamine (95% confidence intervals).Nutritional status was impaired in 19% of the patients. Average plasma glutamine concentration (574.0 ± 189.6 μmol/L) was within normal range but decreased with impaired physical function. Plasma glutamine was linked to the ratio extracellular to body cell mass (p < 0.044), CRP (p < 0.001), physical (p = 0.014), affective (p = 0.041), and global fatigue (p = 0.030). Markers of inflammation increased with low physical performance.The data support our working hypothesis that in cancer patients systemic inflammation maintains a catabolic situation leading to malnutrition symptoms and glutamine deprivation, the latter being associated with cancer related fatigue.

    Abstract PURPOSE: To investigate the plasma kinetics of quercetin derived from hard capsules filled with onion skin extract powder or quercetin dihydrate in humans. METHODS: In a randomized, single-blind, diet-controlled crossover study, 12 healthy subjects (six men and six women) aged 21–33 years were administered a single oral supra-nutritional dose of approximately 163 mg quercetin derived from onion skin extract powder (containing 95.3 % of total flavonoids as quercetin aglycone) or quercetin dihydrate (134 mg quercetin aglycone equivalent). Blood samples were collected before and during a 24-h period after quercetin administration. The concentrations of quercetin and its two monomethylated derivatives, isorhamnetin (3′-O-methyl quercetin), and tamarixetin (4′-O-methyl quercetin), were measured using HPLC with fluorescence detection after plasma enzymatic treatment. RESULTS: The systemic availability, determined by comparing the plasma concentration–time curves of quercetin, was 4.8 times higher, and the maximum plasma concentration (C ₘₐₓ) was 5.4 times higher after ingestion of the onion skin extract than after ingestion of pure quercetin dihydrate. By contrast, t ₘₐₓ did not differ significantly between the two formulations. The C ₘₐₓ values for isorhamnetin and tamarixetin were 3.8 and 4.4 times higher, respectively, after administration of onion skin extract than after pure quercetin dihydrate. The plasma kinetics of quercetin were not significantly different in men and women. CONCLUSION: Quercetin aglycone derived from onion skin extract powder is significantly more bioavailable than that from quercetin dihydrate powder filled hard capsules.

    Abstract PURPOSE: Chronic low-level systemic and adipose tissue inflammation has been identified as a major etiologic factor in many chronic diseases, including hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Evidence from experimental studies suggests anti-inflammatory effects of dietary flavonols such as quercetin. METHODS: We investigated the effects of regular intake of quercetin on leptin, adiponectin, biomarkers of inflammation, glucose and insulin in overweight-to-obese patients with pre- and stage 1 hypertension. Another objective was to assess the safety of daily quercetin supplementation measured by parameters of liver and kidney function and of hematology. Subjects (n = 70) were randomized to receive a supra-nutritional dose of 162 mg/d quercetin or placebo in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial with 6-week treatment periods separated by a 6-week washout period. Two subjects dropped out for personal reasons. Only data from the remaining 68 subjects were included in the analysis. RESULTS: Compared to placebo, quercetin did not significantly affect serum concentrations of leptin and adiponectin, HOMA-AD or the ratios of leptin/adiponectin and adiponectin/leptin. Neither quercetin nor placebo significantly changed serum C-reactive protein and plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha. Compared to placebo, quercetin did not significantly affect glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, blood biomarkers of liver and renal function, hematology and serum electrolytes. CONCLUSION: A supra-nutritional dose of 162 mg/d quercetin from onion skin extract for 6 weeks is safe but without significant effects on parameters of systemic and adipose tissue inflammation as well as glucose and insulin in overweight-to-obese subjects with (pre-)hypertension. This trial was registered at www.germanctr.de/ and http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/ as DRKS00000555.

    Abstract Encapsulated phenol extracts from industrial processing residues of onions and apples are discussed as health promoting food additives. Prerequisite for their use in human/animal nutrition is the quantitative liberation of the phenols during digestion. In the present in vitro study we, thus, determined the release rate of a variety of spray dried phenol extracts embedded in different carrier molecules. Onion and apple extracts encapsulated with either lupine/gum acacia (ratio extract to wall material: 1:2), gum acacia (1:3), pea protein isolate (1:4), or modified starch (1:3) were screened employing a two-step (gastric: pepsin, pH2.0; intestinal: pancreatin, pH7.5) in vitro model (pH stat). Total phenol release in the incubation solutions (solid phase extraction) was followed spectrophotometrically (Folin–Ciocalteu method); quercetin-4′-O-glucoside (onion) and phloretin-2′-O-glucoside (apple) were analysed with HPLC. Extracts spray dried in the presence of carbohydrates alone (gum acacia, modified starch) or in combination (lupine/gum acacia) exhibited an immediate, non-enzymatic phenol release (80%) due to instability in aqueous solutions. Pepsin catalysed enzymatic hydrolysis of apple extracts embedded with pea protein isolate resulted in a time-depending total phenol (max. 70% of embedded material) and phloretin-2′-O-glucoside (max. 20%) liberation; pancreatin showed no effect. Phenols were stable in gastric fluid; in the presence of pea protein isolate, phenols partly decomposed at basic pH. These results demonstrate that only spray dried phenol extracts embedded in the presence of pea protein isolate effectively release phenols under in vitro digestion conditions.

    Abstract The metabolic effects of intravenous peptides have undergone extensive investigation in recent years. Dipeptide solutions provide a mechanism for the provision of selected amino acids that may be conditionally indispensable under certain clinical conditions. In particular, amino acids such as cystine, glutamine, and tyrosine may be difficult to provide in their free form, but their availability can be increased substantially when they are supplied in the form of a dipeptide. Animal and human studies have demonstrated that parenteral dipeptides are cleared rapidly from the plasma compartment and favorably influence nitrogen equilibrium in healthy volunteers and catabolic patients. Certain dipeptides offer the potential for tailoring tissue-specific nutrition therapy. It seems likely that parenteral peptides will offer a major change in the delivery of intravenous nutrients.
