Background and study aims
Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in the diet and are found in a number of fruit and vegetables. Antioxidants are chemicals that “mop up” other, damaging, chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals can cause damage to the bodys cells, which can eventually lead to a number of health problems including heart disease and cancer. The effects of polyphenols are dependent on how well they are absorbed (bioavailability) and how they react in, and are used by, the body. Numerous studies have found that people who drink a moderate amount of wine are less likely to have a heart attack or a stroke, among other things. In this study, we aim to find out whether the alcohol (ethanol) in wine increases the bioavailability of polyphenols.

Who can participate?
Healthy men, aged between 20-40 years, non-smokers, without previous history of cardiovascular disease, liver or kidney disease, homeostatic disorders, any several chronic diseases, high blood pressure or dyslipemia (abnormal amount of fat or cholesterol in the body), grape intolerance or allergic, alcoholism or other toxic abuse.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated into one of three treatment (intervention) groups. For intervention 1, participants are given 339 mL of water to drink. For intervention 2, they are given 339 mL of wine. For intervention 3, they are given 417 mL of dealcoholized wine. Blood samples are taken at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours after they have had their allotted drink. The first urine of the day before the start of the trial is also collected and then at 0 hours, 0-3 hours, 3-6 hours, 6-12 hours and 12-24 hours the day after they have had their allotted drink. Everyone will participate in all three intervention programmes, but with 3 day rest (wash-out period) in-between, when they are asked not to consume grapes or wine and to follow a polyphenol free diet the day before starting the next treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no direct benefits to taking part in the study and no risks as long as the exclusion criteria are followed.

Where is the study run from?
Department of Nutrition and Food Science of the University of Barcelona (Spain)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?

Scientific titleBioavailability of polyphenols from wine and dealcoholized wine: a cross-over, randomized and double blind trial
Study acronymBIOPOLIAL
Study objectivesWine contains several phenolic compounds, which are known for their health benefits.
Hypothesis 1: Ethanol increases the bioavailability of phenolic compounds
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of University of Barcelona, 06/03/2014, Institutional Review Board IRB00003099
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedConcentration of phenolic metabolites in urine
InterventionIntervention 1: 339 ml of water
Intervention 2: 339 ml of wine
Intervention 3: 417 ml of dealcoholized wine

Before each intervention, participants will follow a 3-day washout period, avoiding consuming grape and wine, and the previous day follow a polyphenol-free diet.
