Abstract
Among various factors influencing β-carotene (Bc) bioavailability, information on interactions between carotenoids or other micronutrients such as flavonoids during a meal that contains different plant-derived foods is quite limited. Because orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important Bc-rich staple food, a source of vitamin A in developing countries, this study focused on the effect of citrus fruit juice carotenoids and flavonoids on Bc bioaccessibility from OFSP. In vitro digestion coupled with the Caco-2 cell culture model was used to evaluate the bioaccessibility and cellular uptake of Bc from OFSP in the presence of pink grapefruit (pGF) or white grapefruit (wGF) juices. The addition of grapefruit juices significantly decreased the bioaccessibility, by up to 30%, but not the cellular uptake of Bc from boiled OFSP. Lycopene, but more probably naringin, present in grapefruit juices was suspected to be responsible for the inhibitory effect of the citrus juices on Bc bioaccessibility. This inhibition was apparently due in part to competition for incorporation between Bc and naringin into mixed micelles during in vitro digestion. In contrast, Bc uptake from dietary micelles was not impaired by naringin.

Abstract
Recent studies showed that hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) enhanced bone markers expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) implicated in osteoblastic differentiation. This study aimed at investigating the role of NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular calcification processes. A7r5 rat VSMCs were incubated with beta-glycerophosphate (10 mm) or uremic serum to induce a diffuse mineralization. H(2)O(2) production by VSMCs was determinated by chemiluminescence. NAD(P)H oxidase sub-unit (p22(phox)), Cbfa-1, ERK phosphorylation and bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expressions were measured by Western blotting. VSMCs exhibited higher production of H(2)O(2) and early expression of p22(phox) with beta-glycerophosphate or uremic serum within 24 h of treatment. beta-glycerophosphate-induced oxidative stress was associated with Cbfa-1 expression followed by ALP expression and activity, meanwhile the VSMCs expressing ALP diffusely calcified their extracellular matrix. Interestingly, diphenyleneiodonium partly prevented the osteoblastic differentiation. Results from this model strongly suggest a major implication of vascular NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular calcification supported by VSMCs osteoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
Beta-Cryptoxanthin (beta-CX), a provitaminic carotenoid of potential interest for health, is found principally in Citrus fruit in both free and esterified forms. Little is known about the intestinal absorption of beta-CX especially with regard to the esterified forms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the absorption of free and esterified beta-CX using simulated digestion coupled with the Caco-2 model. Bioaccessibility was investigated by measuring the transfer of carotenoids from different citrus juices into micelles using an in vitro digestion system. Then, carotenoid uptake was evaluated by adding carotenoid-rich micelles (from the in vitro digestion) or synthetic micelles (made from synthetic lipids and carotenoids purified from citrus juice) to human intestinal cells (Caco-2 TC7 clone). Our results showed that beta-cryptoxanthin esters (beta-CXE) were partially hydrolysed during the in vitro digestion. The bioaccessibility of free beta-CX measured was significantly higher (40 (SD 1.05) %) than that of beta-carotene (30 (SD 1.9) %) and beta-CXE (16 (SD 1.5) %). In the same way, the incorporation of free beta-CX (27 (SD 1.01) %) into synthetic micelles exceeded (P<0.05) that of beta-carotene (10 (SD 0.7) %) and beta-CXE (8.8 (SD 0.4) %). In the case of micelles from in vitro digestion, the uptake of beta-carotene, free beta-CX and beta-CXE forms by Caco-2 cells was 14.3 (SD 1.8), 3.9 (SD 1.3), and 0.7 (SD 0.08) % respectively. These results showed a preferential uptake by Caco-2 cells of beta-carotene and free beta-CX compared with the two esters of beta-CX.

Abstract
Staphylococcal enterotoxins are responsible for food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome due to their superantigen activity on T cells. Although their activity necessarily involves passage through the intestinal epithelium, little is known about this critical step. In the present study, we compared the in vitro transport of staphylococcal enterotoxin A through human intestinal absorptive and M cells. We found that the transport of the toxin through M cells was polarized and temperature-sensitive, in contrast with the less efficient transport of the toxin by absorptive cells. These data suggest the involvement of M cells in the intestinal absorption of staphylococcal enterotoxins.

Abstract
In vitro digestions were performed on pearl millet flours with decreased phytate contents and on two dephytinized or nondephytinized pearl millet grain fractions, a decorticated fraction, and a bran fraction with low and high fiber and tannin contents, respectively. Insoluble residues of these digestions were then incubated with buffer or enzymatic solutions (xylanases and/or phytases), and the quantities of indigestible iron and zinc released by these different treatments were determined. In decorticated pearl millet grain, iron was chelated by phytates and by insoluble fibers, whereas zinc was almost exclusively chelated by phytates. In the bran of pearl millet grain, a high proportion of iron was chelated by iron-binding phenolic compounds, while the rest of iron as well as the majority of zinc were chelated in complexes between phytates and fibers. The low effect of phytase action on iron and zinc solubility of bran of pearl millet grain shows that, in the case of high fiber and tannin contents, the chelating effect of these compounds was higher than that of phytates.

Abstract
The effect of daily contact with ethanol on Caco-2 cell differentiation was investigated. Pure ethanol (1%) and a polyphenolic free wine matrix (polyphenol-free wine containing 1% ethanol) associated or not with a procyanidin-rich grape seed extract (GSE) were added to Caco-2 cells from confluency for 2 h a day after successive incubation in salivary, gastric, and pancreatic media. Treatment with 1% ethanol did not appear to be cytotoxic to cells, but it also stimulated Caco-2 cell differentiation, particularly in the first days following confluency, and this effect was more marked when associated with polyphenolic free wine matrix constituents. This activation resulted in an increase in microvillar density, organization, and elongation (+70%) and was associated with strong stimulation of sucrase-isomaltase (+780%) and a concomitant regular increase in cell protein content (+50-88%). While the presence of GSE in alcoholic solutions did not modify the morphological pattern observed in cells subjected to ethanol and polyphenolic free wine matrix alone, it had a clear reducing effect on their microvillus elongation (-30%). However, these stimulating effects of ethanol on morphological differentiation were attenuated from day 10 postconfluency, which could suggest cell cytoprotection against ethanol. These are the first results in support of the notion that moderate concentration of ethanol may stimulate the differentiation of Caco-2 cells, particularly when integrated with a polyphenolic free wine matrix.

Abstract
Simulations of gastro-intestinal digestion, used to estimate in vitro iron and zinc availability, were performed on two kinds of samples: (i) samples with decreased phytate contents from whole pearl millet flour and (ii) nondephytinized or dephytinized samples from two pearl millet grain fractions, a decorticated fraction with low fiber and tannin contents and a bran fraction with high fiber and tannin contents. Iron and zinc in vitro availabilities of whole pearl millet flour were significantly improved by phytate degradation, even if the IP6 were not all degraded. Total dephytinization of decorticated fraction led to a marked increase in iron and zinc in vitro availabilities, but that of bran fraction had no effect on either iron or zinc in vitro availability. Even if phytates are involved in reducing in vitro iron and zinc availability in pearl millet flour, fibers and tannins play an important role by chelating a high proportion of iron and zinc in grain hulls.

Abstract
The effects of the phenolic compounds catechin (Cat), quercetin (Qer), and resveratrol (Res) present in red wine on early atherosclerosis were studied in hamsters. Hamsters (n = 32) were divided into 4 groups of 8 and fed an atherogenic diet for 12 weeks. They received by force-feeding 7.14 mL/(kg of body wt.day) Cat, Qer, or Res in water [2.856 mg/(kg of body wt.day) for Cat and 0.1428 mg/(kg of body wt.dday) for Qer and Res], mimicking a moderate consumption of alcohol-free red wine (equivalent to that supplied by the consumption of about two glasses of red wine per meal for a 70 kg human), or water as control. Plasma cholesterol concentration was lower in groups that consumed phenolics than in controls. The increase in plasma apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 concentration was mainly due to Cat (26%) and Qer (22%) and to a lesser extent, but nonsignificantly, Res (19%). Apo-B was not affected. Plasma antioxidant capacity was not improved, and there was no sparing effect on plasma vitamins A and E. Plasma iron and copper concentrations were not modified nor were liver super oxide dismutase and catalase activities. A sparing effect of Qer on liver glutathione peroxidase activity appeared, whereas Cat and Res exhibited a smaller effect. Aortic fatty streak area was significantly reduced in the groups receiving Cat (84%) or Qer (80%) or Res (76%) in comparison with the controls. These findings demonstrate that catechin, quercetin, and resveratrol at nutritional doses prevent the development of atherosclerosis through several indirect mechanisms.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiatherosclerotic effect of commercially available phenolic-rich extracts from grape seeds (ExGrape seeds, EGS; grape seed extract, GSE) and marc (ExGrape total, EGT) in cholesterol-fed hamsters and to investigate possible operating mechanisms. These extracts fed at a moderate dose mimicking two glasses of red wine per meal reduced plasma cholesterol (-11% on average) but did not affect plasma antioxidant capacity of hamsters. The extracts prevented the development of aortic atherosclerosis by 68% (EGS), 63% (EGT), and 34% (GSE). Elsewhere, in an ex vivo experiment using rat aortic rings, EGS (7 microg/mL) induced 77% endothelium-dependent relaxation, whereas EGT and GSE (30 microg/mL) induced 84 and 72%, respectively. These results suggests that phenolic extracts from grape seeds and marc are beneficial in inhibiting atherosclerosis by indirect mechanism(s).

Abstract
The effect of daily contact of a grape seed extract (GSE) on Caco-2 cell proliferation and differentiation was investigated. GSE at 400 mg/L was added to Caco-2 cells for 2 h a day after successive incubation in saliva, gastric, and pancreatic media. When applied at the beginning of the cell culture, GSE triggered inhibition of cell growth associated with a possible cytotoxic reaction. On the other hand, when the treatment was applied to confluent cells, treated cells displayed a higher protein content than control cells and a more developed brush border, with taller and denser microvilli. These observations were accompanied by stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity, especially at day 5 postconfluency, with a 2.2-fold increase in comparison with the control. On the other hand, aminopeptidase N activity was inhibited throughout the differentiation period in GSE-treated cells to reach 28.8% of control cell activity on day 30. GSE did not affect either sucrase-isomaltase activity or cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, which otherwise appeared to be a good cellular marker. GSE treatment of Caco-2 cells thus inhibited their proliferation from seeding onward and stimulated both proliferation and differentiation after confluency.

Abstract
The protective effect of hydroxycinnamic acids, i.e. caffeic acid (CA) and sinapic acid (SA) present in wine, and chlorogenic acid (CHA) present in apple, compared to a red wine phenolic extract (RWPE) was investigated in hamsters fed an atherogenic diet for 12 weeks. Five groups of 8 hamsters fed such a diet received by force-feeding RWPE, CA or SA in water, mimicking a moderate consumption of alcohol-free red wine. Controls received water and CHA force-feeding was extrapolated from apple consumption. Plasma cholesterol concentration was lower in group that received RWPE (-22%) and hydroxycinnamic acids had no effect. Plasma apolipoprotein Apo-A1 concentration was not affected; consumption of RWPE only decreased Apo-B concentration (-46%). Liver superoxide dismutase activity was 33% lower and glutathione peroxidase activity was 67% greater in the group receiving RWPE compared to controls; there was no effect when CA, SA or CHA were given. All the phenolic compounds significantly increased plasma antioxidant capacity (about 28% on average) compared with controls. Aortic fatty streak area was significantly reduced in the group receiving RWPE (-30%) in comparison with controls and hydroxycinnamic acids. Our findings demonstrate that chronic ingestion of the nonalcoholic components of red wine, mainly polyphenols, prevent the development of atherosclerosis in hamster and that wine hydroxycinnamic acids are not the phenolic compounds involved in such a beneficial effect.

Abstract
It was previously found that the bioavailability of Se from Se-rich spirulina (SeSp) was lower than that from selenite or selenomethionine when fed to Se-deficient rats. The present study examined the bioavailability of Se from SeSp subfractions: a pellet (P) issuing from the centrifugation of a suspension of broken SeSp and a retentate (R) resulting from ultrafiltration of the supernatant through a 30 kDa exclusion membrane. Animals were fed a torula yeast based diet with no Se (deficients) or supplemented with 75 microg of Se/kg of diet as sodium selenite (controls) for 42 days. Se-deficient rats were then repleted for 56 days with Se (75 microg/kg of diet) supplied as sodium selenite, SeSp, P, or R. During this period, controls continued to receive sodium selenite. Speciation of Se in subfractions showed that the majority was present in the form of high molecular weight compounds; free selenomethionine was only a minor constituent. Gross absorption of Se from sodium selenite, P, and R was not different and was higher than from SeSp. Only retentate allowed full replenishment of Se concentration in liver and kidney (as did sodium selenite) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity in liver, kidney, plasma, and erythrocytes. The bioavailabilities of Se in retentate, as assessed by slope ratio analysis using selenite as a reference Se, were 89 and 112% in the tissue Se content and 106-133% in the GSHPx activities. SeSp and P exhibited a gross bioavailability of <100%. These results indicate that Se in retentate is highly bioavailable and represents an interesting source of Se for food supplementation.

Abstract
The effects of a red wine phenolic extract (PE) on plasma lipoproteins and early atherosclerosis were studied in hamsters. Hamsters (n = 32) were divided into 4 groups of 8 and fed an atherogenic diet for 8 wk. They received by force- feeding 7.14 mL/(kg. d) PE in 2.6 mol/L ethanol (E + PE) or PE in water (W + PE), mimicking a moderate consumption of red wine or alcohol-free red wine [30.4 mg/(kg. d)], or 2.6 mol/L ethanol (E-PE) or water (W-PE) as their respective controls. Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were lower in groups that consumed PE. The decrease in plasma apolipoprotein (Apo) B concentration was due mainly to PE and was significantly lower in Group E + PE than in Group E-PE (-7.5%) and in Group W + PE than in Group W-PE (-40%). Apo-A1 was not affected. PE significantly increased plasma antioxidant capacity by 9% in Group E + PE and 18% in Group W + PE compared with their respective controls. Liver glutathione peroxidase activity was 67% greater in the group receiving PE in water compared with the group given water; there was no effect when PE was given in ethanol relative to its control. Aortic fatty streak area (AFSA) was significantly reduced in the groups receiving PE in ethanol (-32%) or PE in water (-29%) in comparison with their respective controls. Ethanol significantly reduced AFSA by 60% (Group E-PE vs. Group W-PE) or 62% (Group E + PE vs. Group W + PE). These data suggest that ethanol is a complementary component of phenolics in the benefits of red wine for hamsters and that chronic ingestion of PE in ethanol prevents the development of atherosclerosis through several mechanisms. With moderate consumption of red wine, ethanol can improve the effects of phenolic compounds. However, alcohol-free red wine appears to be a very good alternative to red wine.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds have recently attracted special attention due to their beneficial health effects; their intestinal absorption and bioavailability need, therefore, to be investigated and Caco-2 cell culture model appeared as a promising tool. We have shown herein that the addition of a grape seed extract (GSE) to Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) used for Caco-2 cell culture leads to a substantial loss of catechin, epicatechin and B2 and B3 dimers from GSE in the medium after 24 h and to a production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When 1420 microM ascorbic acid is added to the DMEM, such H2O2 production was prevented. This hydrogen peroxide generation substantially involves inorganic salts from the DMEM. We recommend that ascorbic acid be added to circumvent such a risk.

Abstract
The bioavailabilty of selenium (Se) from selenium-rich Spirulina (SeSp) was assessed in Se-deficient rats by measuring tissue Se accumulation and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity. For 42 d, rats were subjected to dietary Se depletion by consumption of a Torula yeast (TY)-based diet with no Se; controls were fed the same diet supplemented with 75 microg Se/kg diet as sodium selenite. Se-deficient rats were then repleted with Se (75 microg/kg) by the addition of sodium selenite, selenomethionine (SeMet) or SeSp to the TY basal diet. Selenium speciation in SeSp emphasized the quasi-absence of selenite (2% of total Se); organic Se comprised SeMet (approximately 18%), with the majority present in the form of two selenoproteins (20-30 kDa and 80 kDa). Gross absorption of Se from SeSp was significantly lower than from free SeMet and sodium selenite. SeMet was less effective than sodium selenite in restoring Se concentration in the liver but not in kidney. SeSp was always much less effective. Similarly, Se from SeSp was less effective than the other forms of Se in restoring GSH-Px activity, except in plasma and red blood cells where no differences were noted among the three sources. This was confirmed by measuring the bioavailability of Se by slope-ratio analysis using selenite as the reference form of Se. Although Se from SeSp did not replenish Se concentration and GSH-Px activity in most tissues to the same degree as the other forms of Se, we conclude that it is biologically useful and differently metabolized due to its chemical form.

Abstract
Iron deficiency, one of the most important nutritional problems in the world, can be caused not only by foods deficient in iron but also by poor availability of dietary iron. Iron food fortification in combination with highly available iron from supplements could effectively reduce this deficiency. The aim of this study was to examine the iron availability from iron-fortified spirulina. We have used an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture system to measure iron spirulina availability and made a comparison with those of beef, yeast, wheat floor, and iron sulfate plus ascorbic acid as a reference. Iron availability was assessed by ferritin formation in Caco-2 cells exposed to digests containing the same amount of iron. Our results demonstrate a 27% higher ferritin formation from beef and spirulina digests than from digests of yeast and wheat flour. When iron availability was expressed per microgram of iron used in each digest, a 6.5-fold increase appeared using spirulina digest in comparison with meat. In view of this observed high iron availability from spirulina, we conclude that spirulina could represent an adequate source of iron.

Abstract
Hapten synthesis for the production of specific insecticide phosalone polyclonal antibodies was carried out starting from an intermediate of the phosalone synthesis, 6-chloro-2-benzoxazolone 1. Two haptens containing different spacers have been prepared: N-5-carboxypentyl-6-chloro-2-benzoxazolone 7 and N-(2-oxo-3-aza-5-carboxypentyl)-6-chloro-2-benzoxazolone 12. Each of these two haptens conjugated to bovine serum albumine (BSA) was used to immunize four rabbits. Immunoassays of phosalone were performed with ELISA using solid-phase bound hapten thyroglobulin conjugate and horseradish peroxidase labelled goat antirabbit IgG. The more sensitive response was observed when the antiserum obtained from the rabbit immunized with the hapten-BSA conjugate containing the N-2-oxo-3-aza-5-carboxypentyl spacer was in competition with the same hapten coupled to thyroglobulin. An identical response was obtained under the same conditions when using benzoxazolone instead of phosalone as competitor, showing a good recognition of the specific aromatic part of the organophosphate insecticide phosalone. Reduction of coating conjugate concentration (from 2 to 0.05 micrograms/well) and also the use of heterologous coating protein instead of homologous did improve the sensitivity, resulting in a concentration of phosalone required to inhibit binding by 50% of 2 mg/l and a detection limit of 0.02 mg/l.

Abstract
A hydrolysate containing 75% di- and tripeptides (DTP) was prepared from bovine plasma proteins (BP) and the original protein and hydrolysate were compared for nutritional value. Food intake, protein efficiency ratio (PER), nitrogen balance and digestibility and plasma amino acid concentrations were measured in young rats receiving the diets over 17 days. Moreover, intestinal adaptation was evaluated in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, with the aid of light microscopy and enzyme analyses; tritiated thymidine incorporation was also measured. In DTP- and BP-fed rats, food intake, body weight gain, nitrogen balance and digestibility as well as PER were similar. Plasma amino acid concentration analyses showed an increased concentration of threonine and valine in the BP-fed group. Measurements of mucosal enzyme activities suggest adaptation to the diets especially in the ileum as indicated by increasing aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl peptidase IV specific activities in the BP-fed group. This group also displayed substantial 3H-thymidine incorporation. It is concluded that the hydrolysate containing di- and tripeptides is efficiently utilized in healthy growing rats, though the efficacy is not higher than with the BP diet except for the difference in 3H-thymidine incorporation.
