Publications
Chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-rutinoside and black tea phenols are extensively metabolized in humansMargreet R Olthof
Division of Human Nutrition and Epidemiology, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands
J Nutr 133:1806-14. 2003..Metabolites of dietary phenols have lower antioxidant activity than their parent compounds; therefore, the contribution of dietary phenols to antioxidant activity in vivo might be lower than expected from in vitro tests...
Low dose betaine supplementation leads to immediate and long term lowering of plasma homocysteine in healthy men and womenMargreet R Olthof
Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences and Wageningen University, Division of Human Nutrition and Epidemiology, Wageningen, The Netherlands
J Nutr 133:4135-8. 2003..0002) less, respectively. Thus, doses of betaine in the range of dietary intake reduce fasting and postmethionine loading plasma homocysteine concentrations. A betaine-rich diet might therefore lower cardiovascular disease risk...
Effects of betaine intake on plasma homocysteine concentrations and consequences for healthM R Olthof
Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences and Wageningen University, Division of Human Nutrition, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Curr Drug Metab 6:15-22. 2005..However, whether the potential beneficial health effects of betaine and choline outweigh the possible adverse effects on serum lipids is as yet unclear...
Effect of homocysteine-lowering nutrients on blood lipids: results from four randomised, placebo-controlled studies in healthy humansMargreet R Olthof
Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences, Division of Human Nutrition, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands
PLoS Med 2:e135. 2005..We therefore investigated the effect of betaine, of its precursor choline in the form of phosphatidylcholine, and of the classical homocysteine-lowering vitamin folic acid on blood lipid concentrations in healthy humans...
Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy menMargreet R Olthof
Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences and the Division of Human Nutrition, Wageningen University, Wageningen, Netherlands Quality of Life, Zeist, Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 82:111-7. 2005..Choline is the precursor for betaine, but the effects of choline supplementation on plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations in healthy humans are unknown...
A high-protein diet increases postprandial but not fasting plasma total homocysteine concentrations: a dietary controlled, crossover trial in healthy volunteersPetra Verhoef
Nutrition and Health Programme, Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 82:553-8. 2005..A high protein intake and hence a high intake of methionine--the sole dietary precursor of homocysteine--may raise plasma tHcy concentrations...
Dietary serine and cystine attenuate the homocysteine-raising effect of dietary methionine: a randomized crossover trial in humansPetra Verhoef
Wageningen Centre for Food Sciences, Nutrition and Health Programme, Wageningen, Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 80:674-9. 2004..The increase in tHcy induced by methionine, the sole dietary precursor of homocysteine, might be modulated by other amino acids present in dietary proteins...
Prospective study on dietary intakes of folate, betaine, and choline and cardiovascular disease risk in womenG W Dalmeijer
Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Eur J Clin Nutr 62:386-94. 2008..To investigate the association between dietary intakes of folate, betaine and choline and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)...
Consumption of high doses of chlorogenic acid, present in coffee, or of black tea increases plasma total homocysteine concentrations in humansM R Olthof
Division of Human Nutrition and Epidemiology, Wageningen University, Wageningen, Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 73:532-8. 2001..Chlorogenic acid is a major polyphenol in coffee; coffee drinkers consume up to 1 g chlorogenic acid/d...
