The present study aims to measure oxidative DNA damage in healthy human subjects consuming olive oils with different concentrations of natural phenols. A randomised cross-over trial of high-phenol EVOO (high-EVOO; 592 mg total phenols/kg) v. low-phenol EVOO (low-EVOO; 147 mg/kg) was conducted in ten postmenopausal women in Florence. Subjects were asked to substitute all types of fat and oils habitually consumed with the study oil (50 g/d) for 8 weeks in each period. Oxidative DNA damage was measured by the comet assay in peripheral blood lymphocytes, collected at each visit during the study period. Urine samples over 24 h were collected to measure the excretion of the olive oil phenols. The average of the four measurements of oxidative DNA damage during treatment with high-EVOO was 30 % lower than the average during the low-EVOO treatment (P=0.02). Urinary excretion of hydroxytyrosol and its metabolite homovanillyl alcohol were significantly increased in subjects consuming high-EVOO. Despite the small sample size, the present study showed a reduction of DNA damage by consumption of an EVOO rich in phenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol. date: 2006-04 publisher: CABI PUBLISHING official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/BJN20051674 oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: Web of Science elements_id: 335778 doi: 10.1079/BJN20051674 language_elements: EN lyricists_name: Sera, Francesco lyricists_id: FSERA63 full_text_status: public publication: BRIT J NUTR volume: 95 number: 4 pagerange: 742 - 751 issn: 0007-1145 citation: Salvini, S; Sera, F; Caruso, D; Giovannelli, L; Visioli, F; Saieva, C; Masala, G; ...
