Abstract

Elucidation of the relationships between genotype, diet, and health requires accurate dietary assessment. In intervention and epidemiological studies, dietary assessment usually relies on questionnaires, which are susceptible to recall bias. An alternative approach is to quantify biomarkers of intake in biofluids, but few such markers have been validated so far. Here we describe the use of metabolomics for the discovery of nutritional biomarkers, using citrus fruits as a case study. Three study designs were compared. Urinary metabolomes were profiled for volunteers that had (a) consumed an acute dose of orange or grapefruit juice, (b) consumed orange juice regularly for one month, and (c) reported high or low consumption of citrus products for a large cohort study. Some signals were found to reflect citrus consumption in all three studies. Proline betaine and flavanone glucuronides were identified as known biomarkers, but various other biomarkers were revealed. Further, many signals that increased after citrus intake in the acute study were not sensitive enough to discriminate high and low citrus consumers in the cohort study. We propose that urine profiling of cohort subjects stratified by consumption is an effective strategy for discovery of sensitive biomarkers of consumption for a wide range of foods.

  • New biomarkers for citrus fruit intake and coffee have been successfully identified using 24-hour dietary recalls and food-frequency questionnaires.

  • High-resolution LC-Q-TOF MS with electrospray ionization has successfully detected compounds such as terpene metabolites, diketopiperazine metabolites, phenylvalerolactones, and benzoxazinoid metabolites, which are candidate biomarkers of food intake not easily detected by NMR or GC-MS.

    “This technique has been successful in detecting compounds such as terpene metabolites, diketopiperazine metabolites, phenylvalerolactones, and benzoxazinoid metabolites, which are interesting candidate biomarkers of food intake that would not be easily detected in biofluids by NMR or GC-MS (49,86,96).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
