Bioavailable Microbial Metabolites of Flavanols Demonstrate Highly Individualized Bioactivity on In Vitro & beta;-Cell Functions Critical for Metabolic Health
Bioavailable Microbial Metabolites of Flavanols Demonstrate Highly Individualized Bioactivity on In Vitro & beta;-Cell Functions Critical for Metabolic Health. METABOLITES, 13(7).
author keywords: gut microbiome; phytochemicals; flavanol metabolites; glucose sensitivity; responder analysis; personalized nutrition
TL;DR:
It is concluded that metabolite bioactivity on GSIS capacity is less related to flavanol supplementation or antibiotic treatment and may be more associated with the unique microbiome or metabolome of each animal, suggesting flavanol metabolite activities are individualized and point to the need for personalized nutrition practices.

Microbial Metabolites of Flavanols in Urine are Associated with Enhanced Anti-Proliferative Activity in Bladder Cancer Cells In Vitro
NUTRITION AND CANCER-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 74(1), 194–210.
MeSH headings : Animals; Chromatography, Liquid; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Polyphenols / analysis; Rats; Tandem Mass Spectrometry; Urinary Bladder Neoplasms / drug therapy
TL;DR:
It is suggested that microbial metabolites may be the primary compounds responsible for chemoprevention in uroepithelial cell following flavanol consumption, highlighting the potential for exploiting knowledge about individual genetics, microbiome profiles, flavonoid metabolism profiles, tumor characteristics, etc. to design personalized dietary interventions for cancer prevention and/or adjuvant therapy to reduce bladder cancer incidence and improve outcomes.

Fasting and postprandial trimethylamine N-oxide in sedentary and endurance-trained males following a short-term high-fat diet
PHYSIOLOGICAL REPORTS, 9(16).
author keywords: endurance-trained; high-fat diet; sedentary; trimethylamine N-oxide
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Cardiometabolic Risk Factors; Diet, High-Fat / adverse effects; Dietary Fats / metabolism; Endurance Training; Fasting / metabolism; Humans; Male; Methylamines / blood; Postprandial Period; Sedentary Behavior
TL;DR:
Plasma TMAO and TMA‐moiety concentrations were measured using isocratic ultraperformance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry and VO2max was significantly higher in the endurance‐trained compared with sedentary males, and future studies are needed to identify the effects of endurance training on T MAO production.

Preference for and sensitivity to flavanol mean degree of polymerization in model wines is correlated with body composition
APPETITE, 144.
author keywords: Astringency; Preference; BMI; Body fat percentage; PROP
MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue; Adult; Body Composition / physiology; Body Mass Index; Body Weight / physiology; Female; Food Preferences / drug effects; Food Preferences / physiology; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Polymerization; Polyphenols / administration & dosage; Propylthiouracil / administration & dosage; Taste / drug effects; Taste / physiology; Taste Buds / drug effects; Taste Threshold / drug effects; Wine / analysis; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The data suggest that weight status in adults is a greater predictor of liking of flavanol-rich foods than bitterness sensitivity (as determined by PROP classification), and that reduced perception of bitterness and astringency associated with weight gain may impact selection and preference for these foods.

Supplemental treatment options for diabetes: how flavanol metabolites improve beta-cell function
Lloyd, T., Griffin, L., Krueger, E., Beales, J., Barlow, A., Sheets, J., … Tessem, J. (2020, April). FASEB JOURNAL, Vol. 34.
TL;DR:
Data is presented regarding the in vitro effects of these absorbed gut bacteria derived flavanoids on INS‐1 832/13 β‐cell insulin secretion and proliferation and further light is shed on the potential ability of flavanoid and their gut bacteriaderived metabolites to enhance functional β‐ cell mass.

A Mediterranean diet does not alter plasma trimethylamine N-oxide concentrations in healthy adults at risk for colon cancer
FOOD & FUNCTION, 10(4), 2138–2147.
MeSH headings : Adult; Aged; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Bacteria / metabolism; Betaine / blood; Choline / blood; Colonic Neoplasms / blood; Colonic Neoplasms / diet therapy; Colonic Neoplasms / metabolism; Colonic Neoplasms / microbiology; Diet, Mediterranean; Fasting; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Humans; Male; Methylamines / blood; Middle Aged
TL;DR:
It is suggested that broad dietary pattern intervention over six months may not be sufficient for reducing TMAO concentrations in an otherwise healthy population, and disruption of the conversion of dietary TMA to T MAO should be the focus of future studies.

Flavanol Polymerization Is a Superior Predictor of alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity Compared to Flavanol or Total Polyphenol Concentrations in Cocoas Prepared by Variations in Controlled Fermentation and Roasting of the Same Raw Cocoa Beans
ANTIOXIDANTS, 8(12).
author keywords: flavan-3-ol; procyanidin; alpha-glucosidase; melanoidin; Maillard reaction
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that cocoa powders are potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase, and non-traditional compositional markers may be better predictors of enzyme inhibitory activity than cocoa native flavanols.
