Abstract
Kinetic models enable nutrient needs and kinetic behaviors to be quantified and provide mechanistic insights into metabolism. Therefore, we modeled and quantified the kinetics, bioavailability, and metabolism of RRR-α-tocopherol in 12 healthy adults. Six men and 6 women, aged 27 ± 6 y, each ingested 1.81 nmol of [5(-14)CH(3)]-(2R, 4'R, 8'R)-α-tocopherol; each dose had 3.70 kBq of (14)C. Complete collections of urine and feces were made over the first 21 d from dosing. Serial blood samples were drawn over the first 70 d from dosing. All specimens were analyzed for RRR-α-tocopherol. Specimens were also analyzed for (14)C using accelerator MS. From these data, we modeled and quantified the kinetics of RRR-α-tocopherol in vivo in humans. The model had 11 compartments, 3 delay compartments, and reservoirs for urine and feces. Bioavailability of RRR-α-tocopherol was 81 ± 1%. The model estimated residence time and half-life of the slowest turning-over compartment of α-tocopherol (adipose tissue) at 499 ± 702 d and 184 ± 48 d, respectively. The total body store of RRR-α-tocopherol was 25,900 ± 6=220 μmol (11 ± 3 g) and we calculated the adipose tissue level to be 1.53 μmol/g (657 μg/g). We found that a daily intake of 9.2 μmol (4 mg) of RRR-α-tocopherol maintained plasma RRR-α-tocopherol concentrations at 23 μmol/L. These findings suggest that the dietary requirement for vitamin E may be less than that currently recommended and these results will be important for future updates of intake recommendations.

Abstract
Using linear regression models, we studied the main and 2-way interaction effects of the predictor variables gender, age, BMI, and 64 folate/vitamin B-12/homocysteine (Hcy)/lipid/cholesterol-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on log-transformed plasma Hcy normalized by RBC folate measurements (nHcy) in 373 healthy Caucasian adults (50% women). Variable selection was conducted by stepwise Akaike information criterion or least angle regression and both methods led to the same final model. Significant predictors (where P values were adjusted for false discovery rate) included type of blood sample [whole blood (WB) vs. plasma-depleted WB; P < 0.001] used for folate analysis, gender (P < 0.001), and SNP in genes SPTLC1 (rs11790991; P = 0.040), CRBP2 (rs2118981; P < 0.001), BHMT (rs3733890; P = 0.019), and CETP (rs5882; P = 0.017). Significant 2-way interaction effects included gender × MTHFR (rs1801131; P = 0.012), gender × CRBP2 (rs2118981; P = 0.011), and gender × SCARB1 (rs83882; P = 0.003). The relation of nHcy concentrations with the significant SNP (SPTLC1, BHMT, CETP, CRBP2, MTHFR, and SCARB1) is of interest, especially because we surveyed the main and interaction effects in healthy adults, but it is an important area for future study. As discussed, understanding Hcy and genetic regulation is important, because Hcy may be related to inflammation, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus. We conclude that gender and SNP significantly affect nHcy.

Abstract
Dietary polyphenols have been shown to have a beneficial impact on blood pressure. To investigate the effect of daily consumption of a low calorie cranberry juice beverage (a rich source of polyphenols) on blood pressure of healthy adults (n=56), we conducted a parallel arm, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Volunteers were men (n=26) and women (n=30), aged 51+11 years, with a body weight of 79.3+8.8 kg and BMI of 28.4+4.3 (mean+SD). Treatments were a low calorie cranberry juice beverage or a color/flavor/calorie-matched placebo beverage, both of which were incorporated into a controlled diet for 8 weeks. During the controlled diet, volunteers consumed a base diet, consisting of typical American foods, scaled to meet their individual energy requirement such that body weight did not change during the study. Blood pressure was measured by a standardized protocol at the beginning of the intervention, after 4 weeks of treatment, and after 8 weeks of treatment. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values for placebo and cranberry juice treatments at 4 weeks and 8 weeks were compared with a mixed model ANOVA. Blood pressure measures at 4 and 8 weeks of treatment for placebo and cranberry juice were also compared to baseline using a repeated measures ANOVA. After 8 weeks, diastolic blood pressure was significantly lower for the cranberry juice group compared to the placebo group (LSmeans + SEM of 72.2+1.1 mm Hg for placebo vs. 68.6+1.1 mm Hg for cranberry juice, respectively, p=0.029). When 8 week blood pressure values were compared to baseline, cranberry juice was associated with a significant decrease in diastolic BP (73.9+1.6 mm Hg at baseline vs. 70.9+1.6 mm Hg at 8 wk, p=0.049) and a trend toward decreased systolic BP (121.9+3.2 mm Hg at baseline vs. 118.6+3.1 mm Hg at 8 wk, p=0.12), while the placebo was associated with no change from baseline (systolic of 111.5+2.4 mm Hg at baseline vs. 112.3+2.2 mm Hg at 8 wk, p=0.89; diastolic of 68.1+1.5 mm Hg at baseline vs. 68.6+1.5 mm Hg at 8 wk, p=0.37). In conclusion, incorporation of a low calorie cranberry juice beverage into the diet of healthy adults appears to result in improvements in blood pressure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The energy content of foods is primarily determined by the Atwater factors, which may not be accurate for certain food groups. Nuts are a food group for which substantial evidence suggests that the Atwater factors may be poorly predictive. OBJECTIVE A study was conducted to determine the energy value of almonds in the human diet and to compare the measured energy value with the value calculated from the Atwater factors. DESIGN Eighteen healthy adults consumed a controlled diet or an almond-containing diet for 18 d. Three treatments were administered to subjects in a crossover design, and diets contained 1 of 3 almond doses: 0, 42, or 84 g/d. During the final 9 d of the treatment period, volunteers collected all urine and feces, and samples of diets, feces, and urine were analyzed for macronutrient and energy contents. The metabolizable energy content of the almonds was determined. RESULTS The energy content of almonds in the human diet was found to be 4.6 ± 0.8 kcal/g, which is equivalent to 129 kcal/28-g serving. This is significantly less than the energy density of 6.0-6.1 kcal/g as determined by the Atwater factors, which is equivalent to an energy content of 168-170 kcal/serving. The Atwater factors, when applied to almonds, resulted in a 32% overestimation of their measured energy content. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence for the inaccuracies of the Atwater factors for certain applications and provides a rigorous method for determining empirically the energy value of individual foods within the context of a mixed diet. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01007188.

Abstract
The intestinal absorption and metabolism of β-carotene is of vital importance in humans, especially in populations that obtain the majority of their vitamin A from provitamin A carotenoids. MS has provided a better understanding of the absorption of β-carotene, the most potent provitamin A carotenoid, through the use of stable isotopes of β-carotene. We report here an HPLC-MS method that eliminates the need for complicated sample preparation and allows us to detect and quantify newly absorbed d8-β-carotene as well as its d4-retinyl ester metabolites in human plasma and chylomicron fractions. Both retinoids and β-carotene were recovered in a single simple extraction that did not involve saponification, thus allowing subsequent quantitation of individual fatty acyl esters of retinol. Separation of d8-β-carotene and its d4-retinyl ester metabolites was achieved using the same C30 reversed-phase liquid chromatography followed by mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring and negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization modes, respectively. Total time for the two successive runs was 30 min. This HPLC-MS method allowed us to quantify the absorption of intact d8-β-carotene as well as its extent of conversion to d4-retinyl esters in humans after consumption of a single 5 mg dose of d8-β-carotene.

Abstract
Molybdenum is a trace element that functions as a cofactor for at least 4 enzymes: sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component. In each case, molybdenum is bound to a complex, multiring organic component called molybdopterin, forming the entity molybdenum cofactor. The best sources of dietary molybdenum are legumes, grains, and nuts. Bioavailability of molybdenum is fairly high but depends on form, with molybdenum preparations having greater bioavailability than food-bound molybdenum. Molybdenum deficiency and toxicity are rare, possibly because of the body’s ability to adapt to a wide range of molybdenum intake levels. At low intakes of molybdenum, the fractional transfer of molybdenum from plasma to urine is lower and a greater fraction is deposited into tissues, and at high intakes of molybdenum, the opposite occurs. Molybdenum has proven to be an interesting trace mineral that is essential for life.

Abstract
It has been suggested that high doses of beta-carotene limit its conversion to vitamin A, yet this effect has not been well established in humans. A feeding study was conducted in a randomized crossover design in which volunteers consumed 2 doses of deuterium-labeled beta-carotene on 2 occasions, with beta-carotene and vitamin A response assessed by plasma area under the concentration time curve (AUC). Seven volunteers (4 men, 3 women) consumed each of 2 doses of beta-carotene-d8 and provided serial blood samples for 37 d after each dose. beta-Carotene doses were 20 and 40 mg. Plasma beta-carotene-d8 was assessed by HPLC-MS. Plasma retinol (ROH)-d4, which was derived from the beta-carotene-d8, was evaluated by GC-MS after saponification to convert retinyl esters to ROH prior to the formation of the trimethylsilylether. The plasma AUC for beta-carotene-d8 increased 2-fold from the 20-mg dose to the 40-mg dose. The plasma AUC for ROH-d4 increased 36% from the 20-mg dose to the 40-mg dose. These results establish that, in humans, beta-carotene conversion to vitamin A decreases as the dietary dose increases.

Abstract
Absorption of cyanidin-based anthocyanins is not fully understood with respect to dose or anthocyanin structure. In feeding studies using whole foods, nonacylated anthocyanins are more bioavailable than their acylated counterparts, but the extent to which plant matrix determines relative bioavailability of anthocyanins is unknown. Using juice of purple carrots to circumvent matrix effects, a feeding trial was conducted to determine relative bioavailability of acylated and nonacylated anthocyanins and to assess dose-response effects. Appearance of anthocyanins in plasma was measured in 10 healthy adults for 8 h following consumption of purple carrot juice. Each subject consumed 50, 150, and 250 mL of juice containing 76 micromol (65 mg), 228 micromol (194 mg), and 380 micromol (323 mg) of total anthocyanins, respectively. Acylated anthocyanins comprised 76% of total anthocyanins in the juice, yet their bioavailability was found to be significantly less than that of nonacylated anthocyanins. Peak plasma concentrations of nonacylated anthocyanins were 4-fold higher than that for acylated anthocyanins. Absorption efficiency declined across the doses administered. Because the treatments were consumed as juice, it could be discerned that the difference in bioavailability of acylated versus nonacylated anthocyanins was not primarily caused by interactions with the plant matrix.

Abstract
A clinical study was conducted to investigate the dose response and metabolism of strawberry anthocyanins. In a crossover study design, 12 healthy adults consumed each of 3 strawberry treatments. The treatments were 100 g, 200 g, and 400 g of pureed strawberries, delivering 15 micromol, 30 micromol, and 60 micromol anthocyanin, respectively. Urine samples were collected for 24 h after each dose and samples were analyzed by HPLC with diode array detection and ion trap MS. Pelargonidin 3-glucoside was the major anthocyanin form in the treatments, and pelargonidin 3-glucoside and 3 metabolites of pelargonidin 3-glucoside (detected as monoglucuronides) were excreted in urine after ingestion. One predominant monoglucuronide form was detected in urine in masses 10-fold higher than the other 2 monoglucuronide forms. Increasing dose resulted in increasing appearance of anthocyanins in urine, and the mass of each pelargonidin monoglucuronide increased in urine with increasing dose. These results suggest that pelargonidin 3-glucoside absorption and metabolism are not saturated at masses < or = 60 micromol, thus showing that more strawberry anthocyanin can be absorbed with increasing dose.

Abstract
Many tropical fruits are rich in anthocyanins, though limited information is available about the characterization and quantification of these anthocyanins. The identification and quantification of anthocyanin pigments in four tropical fruits were determined by HPLC-MS/MS. Fruits studied included acerola (Malphigia emarginata), jussara (Euterpe edulis), jambolão (Syzygium cumini), and guajiru (Chrysobalanus icaco). All four fruits were found to contain anthocyanin pigments. Anthocyanidin backbones included cyanidin, delphinidin, peonidin, pelargonidin, petunidin, and malvidin. Guajiru contained several acylated forms, while acerola, jussara, and jambolão contained only nonacylated glycosides. These results demonstrate that these tropical fruits are rich in anthocyanins and that the anthocyanins are widely ranging in anthocyanidin backbone, glycosylation, and acylation.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that anthocyanin intake conveys a variety of health benefits, which depend on absorption and metabolic mechanisms that deliver anthocyanins and their bioactive metabolites to responsive tissues. The anthocyanin bioavailability of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) was evaluated as reflected by urinary excretion of anthocyanins and anthocyanin metabolites. Twelve volunteers consumed 100, 200, and 300 g of steamed red cabbage (containing 1.38 micromol of anthocyanins/g of cabbage) in a crossover design. Anthocyanin concentration in cabbage extract and urine was measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Six nonacylated and 30 acylated anthocyanins were detected in red cabbage, and 3 nonacylated anthocyanins, 8 acylated anthocyanins, and 4 metabolites were present in urine. Mean 24 h excretion of intact anthocyanins increased linearly from 45 (100 g dose) to 65 nmol (300 g dose) for acylated anthocyanins and from 52 (100 g dose) to 79 nmol (300 g dose) for nonacylated anthocyanins. Urinary recovery of intact anthocyanins (percent of anthocyanin intake) decreased linearly from 0.041% (100 g dose) to 0.020% (300 g dose) for acylated anthocyanins and from 0.18% (100 g dose) to 0.09% (300 g dose) for nonacylated anthocyanins. Anthocyanin metabolites consisted of glucuronidated and methylated anthocyanins. The results show that red cabbage anthocyanins were excreted in both intact and metabolized forms and that recovery of nonacylated anthocyanins in urine was >4-fold that of acylated anthocyanins.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine physiologic adaptations that occur when humans are exposed to a wide range of molybdenum intake levels and to identify the pathways that are influenced by dietary intake. Four males consumed each of 5 daily molybdenum intakes of 22, 72, 121, 467, and 1490 microg/d (0.23, 0.75, 1.3, 4.9, and 15.5 micromol/d) for 24 d each. During each treatment period, oral and intravenous doses of (100)Mo and (97)Mo were administered. Serial plasma, urine, and fecal samples were analyzed for labeled and unlabeled molybdenum. Compartmental modeling was used to determine rates of distribution and elimination at each dietary intake level. Three pathways were sensitive to daily molybdenum intake. With increasing intake, absorption and urinary molybdenum excretion increased, whereas the fraction deposited in tissues decreased. Kinetic analysis suggested a daily intake of 115-120 microg/d (1.20-1.25 micromol/d) would maintain initial plasma molybdenum levels at their prestudy values and that their prestudy dietary intake was well above the Recommended Dietary Allowance of 45 microg/d. The physiological adaptations to changing intake that the model demonstrated may help prevent molybdenum deficiency and toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitation of human vitamin E metabolism is incomplete, so we quantified RRR- and all-rac-alpha-tocopherol metabolism in an adult. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to quantify and interpret in vivo human vitamin E metabolism. DESIGN A man was given an oral dose of 0.001821 micromol [5-14CH3]RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (with 101.5 nCi 14C), and its fate in plasma, plasma lipoproteins, urine, and feces was measured over time. Data were analyzed and interpreted by using kinetic modeling. The protocol was repeated later with 0.001667 micromol [5-14CH3]all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (with 99.98 nCi 14C). RESULTS RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate and all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate were absorbed equally well (fractional absorption: approximately 0.775). The main route of elimination was urine, and approximately 90% of the absorbed dose was alpha-2(2'-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman. Whereas 93.8% of RRR-alpha-tocopherol flow to liver kinetic pool B from plasma was returned to plasma, only 80% of the flow of all-rac-alpha-tocopherol returned to plasma; the difference (14%) was degraded and eliminated. Thus, for newly digested alpha-tocopherol, the all-rac form is preferentially degraded and eliminated over the RRR form. Respective residence times in liver kinetic pool A and plasma for RRR-alpha-tocopherol were 1.16 and 2.19 times as long as those for all-rac-alpha-tocopherol. Model-estimated distributions of plasma alpha-tocopherol, extrahepatic tissue alpha-tocopherol, and liver kinetic pool B for RRR-alpha-tocopherol were, respectively, 6.77, 2.71, and 3.91 times as great as those for all-rac-alpha-tocopherol. Of the lipoproteins, HDL had the lowest 14C enrichment. Liver had 2 kinetically distinct alpha-tocopherol pools. CONCLUSIONS Both isomers were well absorbed; all-rac-alpha-tocopherol was preferentially degraded and eliminated in urine, the major route. RRR-alpha-tocopherol had a longer residence time and larger distribution than did all-rac-alpha-tocopherol. Liver had 2 distinct alpha-tocopherol pools. The model is a hypothesis, its estimates are model-dependent, and it encourages further testing.

Abstract
In this study we developed an expanded compartmental model of molybdenum (Mo) kinetics to determine rates of molybdenum distribution during molybdenum depletion and repletion. The model was based on a clinical study in which 4 men consumed a low-molybdenum diet of 22 microg/d (0.23 micromol/d) for 102 d, followed by a high molybdenum diet of 467 microg/d (4.9 micromol/d) for 18 d. Stable isotopes 100Mo and 97Mo were administered orally and intravenously, respectively, at several time points during the study, and serial samples of plasma, urine, and feces were analyzed for 100Mo, 97Mo, and total Mo. Based on plasma, urine, and fecal molybdenum levels, kinetic parameters of distribution and elimination were determined. The rates of molybdenum distribution and elimination were different during depletion and repletion. During high intake, urinary molybdenum excretion was greater than during low intake. In addition, fractional tissue storage of molybdenum was lower during high intake than during low intake. This suggests that low intake results in an adaptation to conserve body Mo, and that high intake results in an adaptation to eliminate Mo. The model also suggested that food-bound molybdenum was approximately 16% less bioavailable than purified Mo. Finally, under the conditions of this study, the model suggested that an intake of 43 microg/d (0.45 micromol/d) would be sufficient to maintain plasma molybdenum levels at steady state. This is a minimum estimate because subjects in this study were in a molybdenum-sparing state. These findings provide an understanding of the adaptations in molybdenum metabolism that take place during depletion and repletion.

Abstract
The bioavailability of acylated vs nonacylated anthocyanins and the effect of cooking and dose on the comparative bioavailability were investigated in a clinical feeding study using purple carrots as the anthocyanin source. Treatments were purple carrots as follows: 250 g raw (463 micromol of anthocyanins: 400 micromol acylated, 63 micromol nonacylated), 250 g cooked (357 micromol of anthocyanins: 308.5 micromol acylated, 48.5 micromol nonacylated), and 500 g cooked (714 micromol of anthocyanins: 617 micromol acylated, 97 micromol nonacylated). Four of the five carrot anthocyanins were found intact in plasma by 30 min after carrot consumption and peaked between 1.5 and 2.5 h. Acylation of anthocyanins resulted in an 11-14-fold decrease in anthocyanin recovery in urine and an 8-10-fold decrease in anthocyanin recovery in plasma. Cooking increased the recovery of nonacylated anthocyanins but not acylated anthocyanins. Large dose size significantly reduced recovery of both acylated and nonacylated anthocyanins, suggesting saturation of absorption mechanisms.

Abstract
The bioavailability of carotenoids from kale was investigated by labeling nutrients in kale with 13C, feeding the kale to seven adult volunteers, and analyzing serial plasma samples for labeled lutein, beta-carotene, and retinol. Ingested doses of labeled carotenoids were 34 micromol for beta-carotene and 33 micromol for lutein. Peak plasma concentrations, areas under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUCs), and percentages of dose recovered at peak plasma concentrations were calculated. Average peak plasma concentrations were 0.38, 0.068, and 0.079 microM for [13C]lutein, [13C]beta-carotene, and [13C]retinol, respectively. Average AUC values (over 28 days) were 42.8, 13.6, 13.2 microM h for [13C]lutein, [13C]beta-carotene, and [13C]retinol, respectively. Percentages of dose recovered at peak plasma concentrations were 3.6, 0.7, and 0.7% for [13C]lutein, [13C]beta-carotene, and [13C]retinol, respectively. A positive relationship was observed between baseline plasma retinol levels and [13C]retinol plasma response. It is possible that this relationship was mediated either through some aspect of beta-carotene absorption or via the common pathways of metabolism for postdose and endogenous retinoid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relation between physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and percentage body fat (%BF) is not very strong in the general population. It is possible that variables such as sex, food intake, or both may in part explain this poor coupling. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to show the relation between PAEE and %BF and to determine whether sex, food intake, or both influence the strength of the relation. DESIGN We used doubly labeled water or energy intake balance, indirect calorimetry, dietary interview, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), food intake, and %BF, respectively, in 91 healthy persons (women: aged 48 y, 38.6%BF, n = 47; men: aged 47 y, 24.1%BF, n = 44). RESULTS TEE, PAEE, and REE were significantly lower in women than in men. TEE was related to %BF in women (r = 0.53, P < 0.0001) but not in men (r = -0.22, P > 0.05). The relation between PAEE and %BF was significant in men (r = -0.34, P < 0.03) but not in women. PAL was also significantly related to %BF in men (r = -0.36, P < 0.02) but not in women. Macronutrient intake (% of total energy) did not differ significantly between the sexes, but carbohydrate (r = -0.44, P < 0.003) and fat (r = 0.31, P < 0.04) intakes were significantly related to %BF in women. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the relation between PAEE and %BF is stronger in men than in women. Macronutrient composition seems have a stronger influence on %BF in women than in men.

Abstract
Sensitive and precise analytical methods are needed for flavonols, a subclass of flavonoids that has strong antioxidant activity. We report an improved method for identifying the predominant flavonols, quercetin and kaempferol, by collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) and quantifying them by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) in the selected ion monitoring mode. Practical applications of the method were demonstrated using several kale and biological samples. Two commercial kale samples were found to have 77 or 244 ppm quercetin and 235 or 347 ppm kaempferol (ppm = microg of quercetin/g of kale or microg of kaempferol/g of kale by fresh weight, 5-15% relative standard deviation). Blanching was found to reduce the flavonols to approximately 60% of the levels found in the unblanched kale. Isotopically labeled kale (cultivar Vates) grown in a greenhouse under an atmosphere of (13)CO(2) was found to have much lower flavonol levels. UV-A and UV-B supplementation during kale growth in the greenhouse was found to enhance both quercetin and kaempferol levels in Vates kale. The UV-B-supplemented kale not only produced more flavonols but the quercetin-to-kaempferol ratio was also higher than the UV-A-supplemented or the nonsupplemented kale. Recovery of flavonols from kale was approximately 60% based on spike and recovery trials with rutin, a glycoside of quercetin. Recovery of flavonols from biological samples spiked with rutin ranged from 96% for urine to 70% for plasma. Compared to UV detection, ESI-MS in the deprotonation mode provided lower detection limits, and both higher sensitivity and selectivity, in addition to structural characterization of the kale flavonols by CAD.

Abstract
A physiological pharmacokinetic model was developed to describe the disposition of lycopene, delivered as a tomato beverage formulation in five graded doses (10, 30, 60, 90, or 120 mg), for a phase I study in healthy male subjects (five per dose). Blood was collected before dose administration (0 h) and at scheduled intervals until 672 h. Serum concentrations of carotenoids and vitamins were measured by high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The model was comprised of seven compartments: gastrointestinal tract, enterocytes, chylomicrons, plasma lipoproteins, fast-turnover liver, slow-turnover tissues, and a delay compartment before the enterocytes. As predicted, the percent absorption at the 10 mg dose (33.9 +/- 8.1%) was significantly greater than at the higher doses; however, the amount of lycopene absorbed (mg) was not statistically different (mean: 4.69 +/- 0.55 mg) between doses, suggesting a possible saturation of absorptive mechanisms. The slow-turnover tissue compartment served as a slow-depleting reservoir for lycopene, and the liver represented the fast-turnover pool. Independent of dose, 80% of the subjects absorbed less than 6 mg of lycopene. This may have important implications for planning clinical trials with pharmacological doses of lycopene in cancer control and prevention if absorption saturation occurs at levels that are already being consumed in the population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify characteristics associated with misreporting of energy intake during 24-hour dietary recalls (24 HR). DESIGN Ninety-eight subjects were administered two 24 HRs. Energy expenditure was determined by doubly labeled water (44 subjects) or intake balance (54 subjects). Data on subjects' physical, lifestyle, and psychosocial characteristics were also collected. Subjects/setting At the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center 52 women and 46 men were administered 24HR and completed lifestyle and personality questionnaires and a memory test. Physical characteristics such as weight, percent body fat, and total energy expenditure were measured. Statistical analysis The influences of subject parameters on energy misreporting were assessed by linear regression and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis for continuous variables and by ANOVA for discrete variables. Stepwise regression was used to identify key factors in underreporting. RESULTS Factors particularly important in predicting underreporting of energy intake include factors indicating dissatisfaction with body image; for example, a 398 kcal/day underreport in subjects attempting weight loss during the past year with a nearly 500 kcal/day underreport in women. Overall, women underreported by 393 kcal/day relative to men and women evinced a social desirability bias amounting to a 26 kcal underreport for each point on the social desirability scale. Gender differences also were evident in the effect of percent body fat (with men underreporting about 16 kcal/day/percent body fat) and in departure from self-reported ideal body weight (with women underreporting about 21 kcal/day/kg). APPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS Body image and fatness are key factors on which health professionals should focus when seeking predictors of underreporting of dietary intake. Dietary interviews must be conducted to minimize bias related to subjects' tendencies to win approval and avoid censure by the interviewer. In addition, dissatisfaction with body image may lead to underestimation of food intake, therefore reducing likelihood of success in weight loss. Thus, health care professionals involved in weight loss counseling may achieve better success if treatment includes generating a more positive body image.

Abstract
The ability to study bioavailability of nutrients from foods is an important step in determining the health impact of those nutrients. This work describes a method for studying the bioavailability of nutrients from kale (Brassica oleracea var. Acephala) by labeling the nutrients with carbon-13, feeding the kale to an adult volunteer, and analyzing plasma samples for labeled nutrients. Results showed that conditions for producing atmospheric intrinsically labeled kale had no detrimental effect on plant growth. Lutein, beta-carotene, retinol, and phylloquinone were analyzed using liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Analysis of plasma samples showed that labeled lutein peaked in plasma at 11 h (0.23 microM), beta-carotene peaked at 8 (0.058 microM) and 24 h (0.062 microM), retinol peaked at 24 h (0.10 microM), and phylloquinone peaked at 7 h (3.0 nM). This method of labeling kale with (13)C was successful for producing clearly defined kinetic curves for (13)C-lutein,(13)C-beta-carotene, (13)C-retinol, and (13)C-phylloquinone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to test whether daily alcohol intake can influence parameters related to rate of alcohol clearance and systemic alcohol exposure. METHOD Postmenopausal women (N = 14) completed a study in which they consumed an alcohol treatment daily for 8 weeks. In a three-period crossover design, women consumed 0, 15 or 30 g/day ethanol, with each subject completing each treatment level. Following the 8-week adaptation period, the subjects consumed a single dose of 15 g ethanol, and breath samples collected to assess breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) every 5 minutes until the BrAC declined to zero. RESULTS Adaptation to daily alcohol intake of 30 g/day resulted in reduced breath alcohol response compared to adaptation to 0 g/day. Specifically, area under the BrAC time curve was lower after women had consumed 30 g ethanol per day compared to that after daily consumption of 0 grams per day. Also, the time required for BrAC to decline to 0.01% after the bolus dose was reduced when subjects were adapted to 30g/day compared to 0 g/day. CONCLUSIONS Daily intake of alcohol at a level of 30 g/day appears to be sufficient to alter the parameters related to systemic alcohol exposure.

Abstract
Quantitative procedures employing liquid-chromatography/particle beam-mass spectrometry (LC/PB-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were applied to the determination of the endogenous and 13C-labeled beta-carotene, lutein, and retinol in plasma of a subject who consumed kale (Brassica oleracea) that had been grown in a 13CO2-enriched atmosphere. All compounds were analyzed in the negative chemical ionization (NCI) mode using methane as the moderating reagent gas. Beta-carotene and lutein were analyzed using LC/PB-MS applying reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation procedures to resolve the analytes. The concentrations of the beta-carotene isotopomers in the plasma over a several-week period were determined using 2H8-beta-carotene as an internal standard. The total plasma concentrations of all trans-lutein were quantified by HPLC analysis with a photodiode array detector using beta-apo-8'-carotenal as an internal standard, and the ratio of the 13C:12C isotopomers of lutein was determined by PB-MS. The retinol isotopomers were collected from individual HPLC fractions of the plasma extract and then analyzed as the trimethylsilyl ethers by GC-MS in the NCI mode. The 13C- and 12C-retinol isotopomers were quantified using 2H4-retinol as an internal standard. These methods demonstrate the application of highly sensitive procedures employing NCI MS for the quantitative determination of carotenoids and vitamin A for the purpose of conducting metabolism studies of phytonutrients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare qualitative descriptions of the same food items eaten by different persons using 24-hour dietary recall interviews. DESIGN Eleven pairs of subjects were interviewed twice using 24-hour dietary recalls such that each member of the pair described the same day's foods. Each pair shared a home and ate at least 2 meals together daily. After each interview, subjects were asked to identify the foods reported during the interview that they observed the other member of their pair consuming and to note when a particular food was the only item of that type available in the house. Qualitative descriptions of the foods were compared, differences in descriptions were noted, and calculations were made of the potential energy error produced if a subject erred in reporting a food item. SUBJECTS/SETTING Subjects were randomly selected from a database of persons who have participated in other studies at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center. Ten pairs were husbands and wives and 1 pair was sisters. Each pair reported eating at least 2 meals per day together. Dietary recall interviews were done at the Research Center and were conducted by a trained dietitian in a quiet room free of distractions. RESULTS Discrepancies in qualitative food descriptions were identified for every subject pair interviewed. Men were found to be more likely to omit food items than women, snack items were more likely to be omitted than meal items, meat items were likely to be described inaccurately, and first interviews were likely to contain more errors than second interviews. APPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS This analysis shows which types of food items are most likely to be omitted or inaccurately described, and that dietetics professionals may improve the accuracy of dietary intake interviews by asking questions related to meat, milk, and snacks very carefully. The analysis also showed reductions in recall inconsistencies from the first recall to the second recall, suggesting that the learning associated with repeated interviews may be helpful in accurately identifying what a person consumes.

Abstract
A physiological compartmental model of alpha-linolenic acid metabolism was derived from the plasma concentration-time curves for d5-18:3n-3, d5-20:5n-3, d5-22:5n-3, and d5-22:6n-3 in eight healthy subjects. Subjects received a 1-g oral dose of an isotope tracer of alpha-linolenate (d5-18:3n-3 ethyl ester) while subsisting on a rigorously controlled beef-based diet. By utilizing the Windows Simulation and Analysis Modeling program, kinetic parameters were determined for each subject. Half-lives and mean transit times of the n-3 fatty acids in the plasma were also determined. The model predicted plasma values for the n-3 fatty acids in good accordance with the measured steady state concentrations and also predicted dietary linolenic acid intake for each subject in accordance with values determined by lipid analysis of the diet. Only about 0.2% of the plasma 18:3n-3 was destined for synthesis of 20:5n-3, approximately 63% of the plasma 20:5n-3 was accessible for production of 22:5n-3, and 37% of 22:5n-3 was available for synthesis of 22:6n-3. The inefficiency of the conversion of 18:3n-3 to 20:5n-3 indicates that the biosynthesis of long-chain n-3 PUFA from alpha-linolenic acid is limited in healthy individuals. In contrast, the much greater rate of transfer of mass from the plasma 20:5n-3 compartment to 22:5n-3 suggests that dietary eicosapentaenoic acid may be well utilized in the biosynthesis of 22:6n-3 in humans.

Abstract
This report describes the development of a robust method of high sensitivity for studying the metabolism of beta-carotene-d8 in humans using a combination of liquid chromatography/particle beam-mass spectrometry (LC/PB-MS). The utility of the LC/PB-MS method was demonstrated in a pilot study. The carotenoids were extracted from plasma into hexane and separated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a C-18 column. The HPLC effluent was nebulized using helium and the solvent was removed under vacuum within the dual-stage particle beam interface. The de-solvated carotenoids were ionized in the negative-ion mode (electron capture) using methane chemical ionization and detected using selected ion monitoring. The limit of detection of the method was on the order of 0.3 ng (approximately 0.6 pmol) for beta-carotene. beta-Carotene-d8 was quantified in the plasma over a concentration range of two orders of magnitude using beta-carotene-(13)C(40) as an internal standard. The overall coefficient of variance (CV) for determining the concentration of the analytes from 30 microliter of plasma was 3.9% for beta-carotene and 2.4% for beta-carotene-d8. Using the LC/PB-MS method, the concentration of beta-carotene-d8 was determined in the plasma of a subject who had consumed a single 5-mg dose over a 30-day period. The sensitive semi-automated procedure is capable of high sample throughput and makes large comprehensive studies feasible.
