Effect of dietary fat-soluble vitamins A and E and proanthocyanidin-rich extract from grape seeds on oxidative DNA damage in rats.
This study reports the effect of the fat-soluble vitamin A or vitamin E and grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on oxidative DNA damage estimated by 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) contents in urine and leukocyte of rats. Little is known about the antioxidant potency of dietary anthocyanidins and consequently, the aim of this study was to establish whether anthocyanidins could act as putative antioxidant micronutrients. Seven groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed during 47 days with the following diets: a basic diet, two deficient vitamin A or E diets, two supplemented vitamin A or E diets and two supplemented diets enriched with two doses of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract. At the end of the diet intervention period, 24h, urine and blood were collected. The levels of 8-oxodG in leukocytes rats were significantly lower in the supplemented vitamin A, E and GSPE diet groups with respect to the control group. However, consumption of alpha-tocopherol, vitamin A or GSPE had no effect on the excretion of the oxidised nucleoside 8-oxodG. These results suggest that a vitamin E and A and GSPE enriched-diets have a protective effect on oxidative DNA damage limited to rat leukocytes.
