Abstract:

Objective To study the response of body oxidative damage related biomarkers to flavonoid-rich diet intervention in healthy subjects with different GST genotypes. Methods Totally 26 healthy adults (21~23 years old) with the GSTT1-/GSTM1 -or GSTT1+/GSTM1 + genotype were enrolled to participate in the flavonoid-rich diet intervention. The venous blood and urine samples were collected at the baseline, 1 and 2 weeks after the dietary intervention. Experimental kits were used for detecting the plasma MDA, GSH levels, and erythrocyte SOD, GST and GSH-Px enzyme activities. ELISA Kit was applied to detect the urinary 8-OH-dG level. Results No significant differences of plasma MDA, GSH levels and erythrocyte SOD, GST and GSH-Px activities were found at the baseline between GSTT1/GSTM1 genotype groups. After dietary intervention for 1 week, the plasma MDA level in GSTM1+/GSTT1+ group had a significant decrease than the baseline and that in GSTM1-/GSTT1- group, while, after intervention for 2 weeks, the MDA level in GSTT1-/GSTM1- group began to decrease to lower than that in the baseline. Two weeks of flavonoid-rich food intervention had no effects on the plasma GSH level and erythrocyte SOD enzyme activity, but increase in GSH-Px activity was found in both groups. Significant increase in GSH-Px activities were detected in GSTM1+/GSTT1+ and GSTM1-/GSTT1- groups. The response of erythrocyte GST activity was GST genotype dependent. Dietary intervention significantly increased erythrocyte GST activity in the GSTM1+/GSTT1+ group; however, no influence was detected in GSTM1-/GSTT1 -group. The content of urinary 8-OH-dG presented a decrease trend after dietary intervention for 2 weeks, however, no statistical significance was found. Conclusion Oxidative damage related biomarkers of the subjects with different GSTT1/GSTM1 genotypes had different responses to the flavonoid-rich diet.
