Procyanidin B1 is detected in human serum after intake of proanthocyanidin-rich grape seed extract

To confirm the absorption of proanthocyanidin (PA) into the human body, four healthy adults were ad-ministered 2.0 g of PA-rich grape seed extract (GSE). Blood were drawn before intake and 2 h after intake. Through the enzymatic treatment of sulfatase and v-glucuronidase, blood samples were analyzed...

Zusammenfassung:To confirm the absorption of proanthocyanidin (PA) into the human body, four healthy adults were ad-ministered 2.0 g of PA-rich grape seed extract (GSE). Blood were drawn before intake and 2 h after intake. Through the enzymatic treatment of sulfatase and v-glucuronidase, blood samples were analyzed by HPLC coupled with mass-spectrometry (LC/MS). Procyanidin B1 [epicatechin-(4v->8)-catechin] was detected in human serum 2 h after intake. Its concentration was 10.6 =+- 2.5 nmol/l.
