Following that, he was in charge of the team of Biochemistry of Metabolism and Nutrition in the INSERM research center, UMR 866 of Dijon until the end of 2011. Since 2013, Latruffe has been senior Professor at the Laboratory of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Life Science. In 1998, he has been addressing new challenges regarding the preventative role of vine polyphenols, especially resveratrol, against age-related pathologies such as cancer and inflammatory cardiovascular disease. He was one of the first to explore resveratrol transport and metabolism (2004) and its pro-apoptotic properties (2004), and discovered a new resveratrol signaling pathway through microRNA modulation (2010). In 2014, he demonstrated the preventive effect of wine polyphenols towards colon cancer in mice models. Latruffe has organized several and workshops on wine and health. Latruffe has recently served as Editor and Co-editor of two Special Issues of Molecules: Natural Products and Inflammation (2016) and Improvement of Resveratrol Efficacy (2017). To date, Latruffe has published nearly 170 international papers and presented over 140 invited lectures. In 2017, he managed the a book deal on an edition covering wine and the Mediterranean diet (EUD editor, Dijon). Latruffe is an expert or past expert of several evaluation councils, and is a member of the orientation council of the prestigious UNESCO Chair “heritage and traditions of wine”. He has also been awarded several distinctions. Jean-Pierre Rifler is emergency physician at the Haute Coteˆ d’Or hospital center, F-21350, France (https://etablissements.fhf.fr/annuaire/hopital-fiche.php?id struct=473) and is passionate about wine. After his obtained a diploma of Oenolog technician in 1988, he prepared his medical doctoral thesis in 1994 on wine and health, especially on the cardiovascular protection of red wine polyphenols. Since this date and in parallel to his professional activities, he has collaborated with scientists in Burgundy with the aim of promoting knowledge regarding the beneficial effects of a regular and moderate consumption of wine. He has managed the theses of medical doctors and set up clinical protocols to validate secondary prevention for post-infarcted patients by wine in 2012. This important work has been published in collaboration with Prof. Norbert Latruffe, co-Guest Editor of this Special Issue “A Moderate Red Wine Intake Improves Blood Lipid Parameters and Erythrocyte Membrane Fluidity in Post-myocardial Infarct Patients” by Rifler JP., et al., Molecular Nutrition and Food Research 2011. vol. 55 pp. 1–7. Dr. Jean-Pierre Rifler has also published numerous specialized papers and is periodically invited in congresses and organizations such as in WAC (Wine Active Compounds), Beaune 2011; or 5e` ICPH (International Conference on Polyphenols and Health), Sitges (Barcelona), 2011. He is co-founder of the Mediterranean Nutrition and Health Association which organized a colloquium in Hyeres` (Provence) in 2016 on Wine, Mediterranean Nutrition, and Health. Dr. Jean-Pierre Rifler is also well known for having initiated the French program on heart defibrillators in public spaces to save lives. vii Preface to ”Wine and Vine Components and Health” In terms of biochemical mechanisms, vine, like other plants, produces numerous non-energy compounds called secondary metabolites (e.g., flavonoids, polyphenols), in order to adapt their defenses against often unfavorable environments (biotic and non-biotic stresses). Interestingly, in humans and in the animals kingdom, these microconstituents provide similar valuable bioactive properties for essential cell and physiological functions (signaling, gene regulation, prevention of acquired or infectious disease, etc.). These compounds have been selected through evolution and are generally preserved in all living organisms. For instance, resveratrol, that plays an essential role in vine plants as an elicitor of natural defenses, has been shown to be a protector of health in humans. It can delay, or even block, the appearance of predominant diseases, such as atherosclerosis, by protecting low-density lipoproteins from the oxidation, in addition to positive effects on diabetes and cancer. Grape, both fresh or dried, is a widely consumed fruit by large human populations, as are its byproducts, including grape juice and wine and even extracts of vine leaves and shoots. Grape products contain vast and highly varied quantities of polyphenols as a protective micronutrient. Wine provides unique polyphenols, for instance, resveratrol, procyanidins, and monophenols such as hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol. Research supports the idea that wine—a natural biological product—if consumed regularly and not in excess, can act preventively. In addition to eliciting its more well-known activities against vascular diseases (illustrated by the so-called French paradox), the moderation consumption of wine may also prevent infections, decrease inflammation, and delay neurodegenerative

Simon Kinkéliba (Combretum micranthum, Fam. Combretaceae) is an undomesticated shrub species of western Africa and is one of the most popular traditional bush teas of Senegal. The herbal beverage is traditionally used for weight loss, digestion, as a diuretic and mild antibiotic, and to relieve pain. The fresh leaves are used to treat malarial fever. Leaf extracts, the most biologically active plant tissue relative to stem, bark and roots, were screened for antioxidant capacity, measuring the removal of a radical by UV/VIS spectrophotometry, anti-inflammatory activity, measuring inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, and glucose-lowering activity, measuring phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA expression in an H4IIE rat hepatoma cell line. Radical oxygen scavenging activity, or antioxidant capacity, was utilized for initially directing the fractionation; highlighted subfractions and isolated compounds were subsequently tested for anti-inflammatory and glucose-lowering activities. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of the crude leaf extract were fractionated leading to the isolation and identification of a number of polyphenolic ii compounds.

  • ABSTRACT YUZUAK, SEYIT. Utilizing Metabolomics and Model Systems
    ABSTRACT YUZUAK, SEYIT. Utilizing Metabolomics and Model Systems to Gain Insight into Precursors and Polymerization of Proanthocyanidins in Plants (Under the direction of Dr. De-Yu Xie). Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are oligomers or polymers of flavan-3-ols. In plants, PAs have multiple protective functions against biotic and abiotic stresses. PAs are also important nutraceuticals existing in common beverages and food products to benefit human health. To date, although the biosynthesis of PAs has been intensively studieed and fundamental progress has been made in over the past decades, many questions remain unanswered. For example, its direct precursors of extension units are unknown and their monomer structure diversity are also unclear. These questions about proanthocyanidins result from not having of model systems and effective technologies. Our laboratory has made significant progress in enhancing the understanding of these unknown and unclear points regarding proanthocyanidins. In my dissertation research reported here, I focus on two areas: testing muscadine as a crop system to develop metabolomics for studying precursor diversity and isolating enzymes from a red cell tobacco system to understand the precursors of the extension units of PA. First, I developed a metabolomics protocol to analyze anthocyanidins and anthocyanins in muscadine grape. This study demonstrated that muscadine berries can produce at least six anthocyanidins, revealing the diversity of pathway precursors for PAs. The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry is reviewing this work. Second, I developed a metabolomics protocol of HPLC-qTOF-MS/MS to analyze flavan- 3-ols and dimeric PAs in muscadine grape. This study also demonstrated the high structure diversity of flavan-3-ols, particularly methylated flavan-3-ols.

  • ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development
    ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development-dependent Formation and Metabolism of Anthocyanins and Proanthocyanidins in Acer Species. (Under the direction of David Danehower, William Hoffmann, Jenny Xiang and De-yu Xie). Anthocyanins are one of the richest pigments, which belong to flavonoid compounds in plant kingdom. They have many biological and ecological functions. Over the past many years, numerous efforts have been made to determine the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins and also to identify several regulatory proteins mainly in flowers and fruits of model plants and crop plants. However, many questions concerning the metabolism of anthocyanins in foliage remains unsolved. One example is “How can developmental processes impact on accumulation patterns of anthocyanins in leaves”. In this study, we choose several cultivars from one of the most popular ornamental plants Acer palmatum Thunb. to understand the mechanism of developmental changes of pigmentation in leaf. Several other maple species were also analyzed. We propose that the metabolism of anthocyanins play an essential role in such changes. We use an integrated approach of phytochemistry and metabolic profiling to determine the biosynthesis and metabolism of anthocyanins and their impacts on foliage color. Proanthocyanidin analysis was carried out as well to determine their relationship to both anthocyanin production and foliar coloration. We have found that even for green leaves with no/trace amount of detectable anthocyanins, the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanidin/proanthocyanidin

Anthocyanins also play significant roles in plant propagation, ecophysiology, and plant defense mechanisms. Structurally, anthocyanins are anthocyanidins modified by sugars and acyl acids. Anthocyanin colors are susceptible to pH, light, temperatures, and metal ions. The stability of anthocyanins is controlled by various factors, including inter and intramolecular complexations. Chromatographic and spectrometric methods have been extensively used for the extraction, isolation, and identification of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins play a major role in the pharmaceutical; nutraceutical; and food coloring, flavoring, and preserving industries. Research in these areas has not satisfied the urge for natural and sustainable colors and supplemental products. The lability of anthocyanins under various formulated conditions is the primary reason for this delay. New gene editing technologies to modify anthocyanin structures in vivo and the structural modification of anthocyanin via semi-synthetic methods offer new opportunities in this area. This review focusses on the biogenetics of anthocyanins; their colors, structural modifications, and stability; their various applications in human health and welfare; and advances in the field. Keywords: anthocyanins; anthocyanidins; biogenetics; polyphenols; flavonoids; plant pigments; anthocyanin bioactivities 1.

    FOOD AND DRUG LAW JOURNAL Analyzing the Laws, Regulations, and Policies Affecting FDA-Regulated Products The Power of Positive Drinking: Are Alcoholic Beverage Health Claims Constitutionally Protected? Ben Lieberman FDLI VOLUME 58 NUMBER 3 2003 2003 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE HEALTH CLAIMS 511 The Power of Positive Drinking: Are Alcoholic Beverage Health Claims Constitutionally Protected? BEN LIEBERMAN* I. INTRODUCTION It seems almost too good to be true that moderate consumption of alcoholic bever- ages substantially reduces one’s risk of contracting heart disease, but a wealth of published studies have shown it to be an accurate statement. Today, few medical ex- perts dispute that light drinkers, on average, have significantly lower rates of cardiovas- cular disease and live longer than both abstainers and heavy drinkers. Given that heart disease is the leading cause of death in both adult men and women, the potential benefits for a well-informed public are substantial. Predictably, many alcoholic beverages industry members would like to put “heart healthy” messages on product labels and advertisements; however, the federal govern- ment has blocked nearly every such attempt. The Department of the Treasury’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which has authority over alcoholic beverage labels and advertisements, asserts that any health-related claim would be misleading unless it detailed the risks of heavier drinking and explained every category of indi- vidual unlikely to benefit. The agency admits that a statement meeting its standard would almost certainly be too wordy for practical use in labeling or advertising, but insists its policy is not a ban and does not violate the First Amendment.
