Metabolic response to epigallocatechin-3-gallate in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a randomized clinical trial.
Am J Clin Nutr
March 2015
From the Experimental & Clinical Research Center-a joint cooperation between Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany (AM, JS, M Bock, LK, NP, and M Boschmann); NeuroCure Clinical Research Center (AM, M Bock, and FP) and Medical Clinic for Cardiology and Angiology Campus Mitte (ML), Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany; DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research), Berlin, Germany (ML); University of Bonn, Institute of Nutritional and Food Sciences, Bonn, Germany (BFZ); Institute Prof. Dr. Georg Kurz GmbH, Köln, Germany (BFZ); Department of Biostatistics, Clinical Research Unit of Berlin Institute of Health, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany (AK); and Clinical and Experimental Multiple Sclerosis Research Center, Department of Neurology, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany (FP).
Background: Muscle weakness and fatigue are common symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). Green tea catechins such as (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) are known to improve energy metabolism at rest and during exercise.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that EGCG improves energy metabolism and substrate utilization in patients with MS.
Advances in the analysis of volatile isoprenoid metabolites.

Institute of Nutritional and Food Sciences (IEL), University of Bonn, Endenicher Allee 11-13, 53115, Bonn, Germany,
The advances in the analysis of volatile isoprenoid metabolites from sample preparation to separation and detection over the past 3 years are discussed in this overview. Novel headspace sampling techniques like the so-called high concentration capacity techniques are compared with the classical liquid extraction and distillation methods. The advantages of multidimensional separation techniques in the analysis of complex samples are outlined and commercially available dedicated heart-cutting and comprehensive GC systems are described.

Institute of Nutritional and Food Sciences-Nutritional Epidemiology, University of Bonn, Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed (DONALD) Study Center at the Research Institute of Child Nutrition Dortmund, Germany.
Whether higher production of glucocorticoids (GCs) within the physiological range may already be affecting bone status in healthy children is unknown. Because dietary protein intake affects both bone and GCs, we examined the association of urinary measures of glucocorticoid status and cortical bone in healthy non-obese children, after particularly controlling for protein intake. Proximal forearm bone parameters were measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).

Int J Food Sci Nutr

Institute of Nutritional and Food Sciences, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
The antioxidant capacities of 11 commercial and non-commercial samples of Euterpe oleracea Mart. (açaí) fruit pulp were studied with the total oxidant scavenging capacity assay in a modified and automated version against three reactive oxygen species. The antioxidant capacities of all purple açaí samples were found to be excellent against peroxyl radicals, good against peroxynitrite and poor against hydroxyl radicals compared with common European fruit and vegetable juices recently analysed.
